Thank you, I appreciate that. Yea, this job has to be difficult at times, so I try to make sure we both have fun when its my turn, of course as you said it's not always successful. With the language barrier you have to resort to silly stuff if you can't communicate well, but in this situation there is no communication issue so it was easier to engage and in my experience it pays dividends all the way around. I think it definitely helped me here...
Course if you are Mr Stud Boy god's gift to women, you may not have to do this, but, I'm just an average guy.
That said, even the best personality can't always win the day or turn a session from mild to wild. As cliche as it sounds we must remember they are people and people are not all the same. Absolutely YMMV is high with this from so many perspectives. But overall, I feel the strategy we use works often and is one I would highly recommend to others to get the most out of their experiences.
