I think it is expected for locations like walk ups you should be erect by the time you enter the room. Hence I have had poor experiences with walk ups. I prefer that the lady teases me into an erection, something walk up ladies don't really want to have to do.
Certainly, the situation for Soho walk ups is less than ideal. Similarly for German ones, although those do at least tend to be more relaxed and sometimes less stair-climbing. An Amsterdam equivalent, where you get to see the women in windows is spoilt by the almost legendary poor service reported these days. In Greece, they are a little better, firstly as there is no offence taken if you say no thank you and go to another brothel next door, but especially as they usually leave you in a room for a few minutes to warm up, maybe with a porn channel, before the short-time lady of choice joins youa nd your time starts. Someone in the Singapore thread mentioned a place with more expensive 'warm up'. In Brasil, there are walk-ups where the 'ladies', often half-dressed, may grab your balls or let your hand slip across a naked backside as you climb the stairs (with brothel rooms on each floor). In some countries there are areas where the girls hang around outside at least trying to entice you in. Vivago's just been describing the Philippines' upmarket scene, but is also away of the more rough-and-ready cruising area although these mostly don't have on-the-spot shag facilities. Geneva's red light area includes one or two walk-ins where you can see the girls first, but atmosphere not that far removed from Germany. Hong Kong has an area where you can flirt with the girls before they take you upstairs. Edinburgh has several good saunas where you can at least sit in the lounge with the girls before deciding.
With indies in this country, it's about timing. e.g. Stay off the porn until shortly before the punt then, once appointment arranged, watch a few minutes while waiting for the taxi. This might be harder in large urban areas where much travelling is involved, but I might at least take a couple of photos from the girl's profile to ogle on the way there. Also, or on the way, some deep relaxed breathing to dissociate from external pressures and focus on horniness of the prossie (or projected horniness: it's more relevant at this point to sense an ultimate sexiness about her, real or imagined.
This must be ejected before writing a review of course!) Once in the punt, I do not
rely on her to provide a sexy intro. Great if she does, but prossies are unreliable and I want the reasonable most for my money's worth even if she is turning out to be crap. So I have a number of 'routines' and personas that can kick in. These are designed to a) get and/or keep me in the mood ie hard and b) get her in the mood or at least make it easy for her to follow my lead. These are pre-prepared and numerous, developed over many years. I am constantly aware of allowing her comfortable options that suit me, not pressuring her into anything; it might be, "How about if I give you a wee massage to start with" which most prossies enjoy, and I rub her back and her legs for two minutes, fantasising and eyeing up her arse and crotch. Or it might be some role play persona (in my head) where I think of her as a harem girl I've just selected, let my chest (and cock) swell and give her gratuitous compliments combined with instructions. Basically I'm there to please me, and to do that make it easy for her to cooperate simply out of efficiency.
We men too easily become reliant on a woman. Not just for sex but for getting us hard. All prossies offer the first, and a lot of skanky cunts avoid the second as much as they can (or through sheer imbecility). So adore your masculinity is my motto; and the (theoretical) femininity within her. I'm her god, she is my goddess, even if I put that into proud language that her tiny brain can still understand.
