What is an escort really?

[BeardedOne]

Naivety can be a breath of fresh air. It doesn't always have to be a negative.

Now, now, kidz, play nice.

While I like to think that I am not totally dumbth, I have learned through life that some assumptions are better off unsaid, so I'll "play dumb" until such time as the basic questions have been satisfied and I feel comfortable enough to move forward.

Oddly enough, I'm the kind of guy that would hire an escort to go to the company picnic and, time and budget allowing, get my cookies crumbled afterwards. I've had too many "real" relationships head south on me and have lost all trust in 'traditional courtship' and have just gotten too old and mentally/emotionally broken to do the tapdance anymore. So, I have an 'entertainment budget' that satisfies.

I was fortunate that the first T-girl escort I connected with was patient enough to let me get past the dumbshit questions I was asking her. Once the business at hand was out of the way, I was able to comfortably get on to...uh...the business at hand.

I also like to think (In my deluded little head) that 'escort' is a bit higher up the social acceptability (As it were) ladder. When I think of 'prostitute' in the general scheme of things, I think of a girl flipping tricks from an 'office' under a streetsign. I know that there's no rule that rises one definition above the other, but in my experience (So far) the escorts were cleaner, safer, more articulate, and far more pleasant to be with, in or out of your pants, than the kind of girls I would think of as 'prostitutes'.

Of course, that's one of those 'your mileage may vary' opinions.

Crikeys, I work for the government. You wanna talk about prostitution? I feel so dirty.

Hey, I used to think those tour dates on the websites were club appearances (And some dancers actually =do= dance).

I thought that was nice (at least compared to the other's posts before it).

Sorry, Danny, I was generalizing and yes, it was nice. I was kind of agreeing that sometimes the naivety isn't goofy, but honest curiosity.

LMAO, wow. Yes they only accompany men to galas and operas. You could get lucky and find one willing to accompany you to your special ed class but you have to pay extra for that.

LMAO...

There's truth to all the responses, and more than a little good-natured ribbing of the fella who fell off the turnip truck. But it also depends--as it always does--on the girl. Many escorts really will escort, in the classic sense of the word. Thing is, such engagements tend to last several hours, and will carry an equivalent fee: note girls whose ads will give evening or overnight rates. Yeah, you can engage their services for nothing but booty for five hours...but having some eye candy hanging off your arm at an event may well be worth the expense. And if she's intelligent, witty, sophisticated, and beautiful, well there you go. But who "escorts" for an hour? What can you do in an hour? (Well, besides the obvious, which, despite seanchai's comment, will hopefully last a bit longer than 2-3 minutes!) So 95% of the time, "escort" is a more polite pseudonym for "prostitute."

Spot on, as usual, Ectstatic. I've had a couple of associates over the years who have hired exceptionally attractive women to accompany them to corporate functions. If you're an ambitious man looking to get noticed within a corporate environment, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to show up at the Christmas part, etc., with a girl that just steals the show on every level. The type of women who function well in this sort of environment tend to be educated, versatile, and very expensive - but well worth it.

They only suck cock? Thats it. What about fucking and stuff? And like what is thing ectstatic talks about eye candy. I mean I didn't even know the eye had taste buds, so how could it taste anything sweet?

I've only been with two escorts as of this writing and both were a little wierded out that I was interested in spending more than the requisite hour with them (And I am somewhat mortified that some of the girls on Eros advertise half-hour rates ). The first pulled a day rate outta her ass (I honestly believe that she had never been asked before and was a bit put out by having to do the math) and we spent a very nice afternoon together (In fact, far longer than I expected, making the day quite a deal for the company she provided). Though we didn't leave the suite for the entire time, we also didn't do the nasty all day either. We talked, watched movies, did the nekkid cuddle beast, and generally enjoyed each other's company (I don't think she would have stayed the extra time had she not genuinely been enjoying the leisure time).

The second was completely mystified that I'd want to go beyond the 'pop' at the end of the hour. I annoyed the shit out of her when she took a call at the end of the first hour and started to make an overlapping appointment and I was waving "No! No! I'm still here! Hellloooo!". She has since adjusted to this odd habit of mine and I try to make it clear how much time (Read $$$) I'd like to spend with her at the outset. We spent part of our last time together with me pointing out the touristy sites from her hotel window and trading vacation stories. OK, so we were nekkid at the time, but it was still very relaxing for me and certainly different for her.
