I generally session for 3 or 4 hours and prefer a short period of time to relax and just chat a bit to get rid of the unavoidable nervousness I experience before a session, nervousness with a big dose of anticipation. I need that time to settle myself, clear my head and just let myself "melt" into subspace once the session starts. Once the session is rolling, I prefer to just buckle up and enjoy whatever ride the Domme chooses to take me on.
