Your opinion, please. Last night I had a wonderful four-hand massage by two cuties. Everything about it was great and I was ready to write a very positive review.

But, when I got to my car, I found out that only 45 minutes had passed since I arrived in their parking lot.

When I called them about their CraigsList ad, they quoted $175 for an four-handed session but no time was quoted.

So, do I write a good review or is a 40-minute session too short?

FWIW, I think reviews should be about how good or bad a time you had, based on your strictly subjective criteria. The number of minutes the encounter lasted is a factor only to the extent that it matters to you.

The above is an entirely personal view. It doesn't presume to be guidance.

I agree with Stu. I have had some experiences that were only 20 minutes. But, damn they were a good 20 minutes.

I'd think the solution is fairly obvious in that you write the positive review, mentioning that no exact time period for the session was established when setting up the appointment and end it with much the same words as you used here (i.e. that afterward, when you checked your watch, you found that the session had lasted 40 minutes or so). That way you allow the review readers who may be considering hiring these guys to decide for themselves whether a good 4-handed massage by 'two cuties' is worth the $175...

For my part, I tend to agree with the above posters that a good 40 minute session would be more likely to result in both fond memories, and more business from me in the future; and not be at all worried that the guys failed to squeeze every minute from an 'hour', particularly if it hadn't been established that the session would last an hour in the first place...

Yes. Write a review. If you didn't feel rushed during the appointment, then I think the time is irrelevant.
