If a guy cannot get that first pop withinin the time allotted then it is one of two things: he either is a stud who regularly goes hours with his SO before he pops, or the provider is not worth a shit as far as her skills go.

Back on topic, I'm always very conscious about the timeframe for an appointment I schedule since 1) I have a hobby budget to stick to 2) I never want a provider to think I'm disrespecting her by overstaying my welcome. I've really only had one bad instance of clock watching and I blame myself for TOFTT in that case (stupid BP). Given the nature of the hobby, there has to be some mutual respect there from both parties or the whole dang opera falls apart. I think the providers have given some very sound advice to follow and, as a hobbyist, a little respect will keep everything working smoothly. And if not, I continue to claim the first, studly option.
The advice from providers on ECCIE seems to be the one redeeming quality of the Coed Discussions. Otherwise, I might have to dip into the hobby budget for more popcorn.
