Supply and demand!! Bollocks!! (73)

I do say so and in this, rare, instance I'm right.

There was indeed a brief period from the late 19th to the mid 20thC where some people tried to maintain it wasn't grammatically correct to start a sentence with a conjunction. But this runs contrary to all prior evidence (King James translation of the Bible, Shakespeare, the previous 900 years of written English). And contrary to what everyone does in spoken English and what authors have done all through the 20thC. Even the second quote, from Ernest Gowers, in my last reply dates from around the 50s.

School teachers are mostly right to enforce a rule preventing children from beginning sentences with a conjunction because if you don't every sentence ends up starting with and. Which quickly becomes unreadable. But that is a matter of good style and not one of grammar. If you were told that it's grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with and then your teacher was, quite simply, wrong.

Veritatis simplex oratio est. Seneca, Roman Statesman Ca. 65 A.D. The language of truth is simple.

I went to school in Malta and in London, both sets of English teachers told me the same thing about starting a sentence with 'And' is wrong.

Blah, school was a lie!!! What else where they teaching us that was incorrect?

If it is appalling then I can understand it, but really she did not make that big a mistake.

Plus the topic has completely derailed (as others have recently) and no-one is responding to the OP.

Fucking ridiculous.

In answer to the OP.

Some people book a session based on looks, some on what services you offer, and some on the basis of experience. Most use a combination of the above I should have thought.

There is also the matter of distance to travel, and cost.

Are younger pro dommes necessarily more attractive? And in what ways are they more attractive?

I sometimes think youth works a bit like make-up, concealing as much as it shows. But then I probably would say that, wouldn't I?

Try. Just a little bit harder.

I think you may have a point. Some equate a yoof-ful, fresh-faced Pro-Domme with a lack of skill.

Generally, skill takes mileage to develop. The underlying technique may take only minutes to comprehend, but it's not the same thing. Without practice, it'll never become a skill.

Ergo, if a customer equates safety with skill, then PDs with low-mileage looks can be at a disadvantage.

That said, though skill and safety are the overriding priority, looks still matter to some.
