Hobbyists- do you prefer your provider to take your lead and me more passive in the path of the session OR do you prefer she be more agresssive in driving your session, relying on social queues and experience to move to things that you seem to enjoy?
Providers - do you prefer a client to let you lead (assuming you have some general idea of his wants) OR do you prefer he be more directive to the things he wants?
Personally, I am not overly aggressive once in person, for me I want to give a provider an idea of the kinds of things I am seeking and want her to take charge and run the session. I figure you are likely experienced in guiding a session and are able to pick up on various reactions to know where to go.
Obviously this approach works best with return clients and each session likely builds on the last.
