The twenty-three therapists who keep hours with the house

Twenty-three women, every one of them twenty-one or over, each deciding her own hours and which bookings she accepts. Name one in your first message, or describe the evening, and the reply tells you who is free at the hour you asked for.

Reading a profile

Every profile carries the same facts in the same order: age, height, hair, languages, the district she sets out from and the techniques she lists. Two pages can be compared without hunting.

Techniques instead

The grid above is the whole roster rather than a picture of tonight. Each woman keeps the hours she chose for herself, so the list of who is free on a Tuesday evening differs from the list for a Saturday, and neither is known until somebody asks.

What a profile tells you

Her age, the languages she speaks, the district she sets out from and her photographs, every one of them of her and published with her agreement. The rates table repeats on every profile because it is identical for all twenty-three: 180 euros for an hour with one guest, 270 for ninety minutes, 360 for two hours, 540 for three and 1,250 for the eight hour overnight.

Languages across the roster

All twenty-three speak English. Twenty of them speak at least one further language and six speak two more, and between them the roster covers Russian, Ukrainian, French, Italian, Romanian, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian and Latvian. If a conversation in one of those would make the evening easier, mention it when you write.

Where each journey begins

There are no premises, so every arrival starts from wherever she lives: seven set out from De Pijp, six from Oud-Zuid, five from the Jordaan and five from the centre itself. That spread is the reason forty to sixty minutes holds across the central districts. Schiphol and the airport hotels are arranged on their own terms, with the journey time agreed before anything else.

Asking for someone by name

Put her name on the first line, with the hotel or street, the date, the hour and the length beneath it. The reply says whether she is free. If she is not, it says who is free at that hour, and the decision stays yours. A name remembered from an earlier trip is enough to go on.

Who decides

Each therapist decides which bookings she takes and what a session includes, tells you her limits before it starts and may end a visit at any point. The booking page sets out the order of messages, and the formats page describes each option.
