I've never visited HOD. Would you not recommend a visit then?
I'd recommend it, though it depends on what you want.
A comparison might help. This is based on intel I've picked up from reliable punters, and mostly on my own experience. (These last 5 years I've had about 40 HOD empire punts, 20 Diva punts, & about 10 AW booking attempts, about half of which converted to actual punts. I review all new WGs I punt, but often revisit regs so my review count is lower.)
HOD Ease of booking: Excellent
Reliability of booking: Excellent
Main drawback: Conveyer belt, brothel type atmosphere not ideal for a GFE punter.
Notes: Never once had an issue with hygiene, though the vast majority of my punts were with Gabriela who is very hygiene focussed, so my experience may not have been representative. Several of my best punts at HOD have been just as sexually satisfying as Diva punts for which I've paid twice the rate or more. So I consider HOD great value for money, at least for punter who haven't took the time to learn how to get the best out of AW.
I get why some think it wouldn't hurt to ensure the lasses have a 5-10 gaps between sessions. But speaking as someone with a fair bit of commercial & logistics experience, I agree with Laura that the only way to make this work would be to raise prices more to Diva levels. And then they'd be competing with Diva themselves & others who have very polished operations.
Diva Ease of booking: Best
Reliability of booking: Best (In fairness, HOD seems almost as good, and even Diva isn't perfect, though so far 100% of my Diva punts completed as planned.)
Main drawback: Price!
Notes: AFAIK, the standard with Diva and the other big London agencies is for lasses to have minimum of 30 breaks between sessions. Incall punt locations are invariably the flat where the lass stays, tends to feel intimate just like visiting a GF's gaff - I've never felt a brothel atmosphere even when punting at a place I know to be shared with other WGs. This said, shower time typically is included in your hour, at least in my experience of first bookings with a new lass. (Several have even had alarms that go off 5 mins before the hour is up. Though this has only happened on the first booking, Diva WGs seem more relaxed about time on repeat visits.)
AWEase of booking: Poor
Reliability of booking: Moderate
Main drawback: reliability & hassle of lining up a punt. In fairness, reliability is likely similar to agencies if you stick to well reviewed lasses. And it's likely much easier to book popular AW lasses if you have your own AW account with reviews.
Notes: In my own experience, the only time I remember hygiene issues this last 5 years was with an AW lass, though it only happened once out of 5 bookings. (I think a PH thing, something even the most hygienic lasses can get once in a blue moon.) Going by the general consensus of experienced punters here, AW probably gives the best value of money & may be the most fun for those who enjoy the thrill of the hunt. I'd recommend younger punters take the time to learn how to get the best out of it. But for an old guy like me who doesn't punt that often, it's hard to beat the convivence of an agency.
