Lights On?
One could say that this is the evolution, or the poshest version, of the oldest profession in the history of the world, which is none other than escorting. And yes, from ancient times to the 4th century AD, escort services were well known, and then, until the end of the 18th century, due to the increasing need to protect women's rights, the term "chaperone" was used. , escort services were well known, and then, until the end of the 18th century, due to the growing need to protect women's rights, professional rights were claimed, reaching the 21st century where it is now quite organized.
The services offered by an escort are provided through legal entities and have become a very lucrative career choice. However, we know very little about the lifestyle or functioning of this workplace, because the people who choose it keep the law of omertà, sealing their lips, not because their lives are in danger if they speak, but because their clientele demands it. Nevertheless, over the years, some have broken their silence—albeit anonymously—and through personal interviews have helped us learn a few things about the secret world of escorting. Let's take a look, starting with the difference between escorting and prostitution.
Escorts do not necessarily perform the duties of companions. An escort, professionally speaking, is considered to be a person who is paid to spend time with someone. They may accompany a client to dinner, a concert, business events, to a luxury hotel, or simply spend time talking, helping them recover psychologically after a stressful situation, since confidentiality allows them to say things that are difficult to express to their own people. In other words, a client hires an escort for companionship and not just for sex.
Their work is not limited to one or two hours, but to entire nights, days, and even weekends. As for what exactly it involves, it has a lot to do with the area in which the escort operates, the amount of money the client has available, and, of course, the legality of the work. In California, for example, escorting is legal, a valid license is required, and the escort is not allowed to participate in any sexual acts. If an escort agrees to a sexual act or even describes a sexual act that they could perform on their client, they could face serious criminal penalties. In Canada, it is also a legal profession, but various activities related to it are illegal, including the purchase of sexual services, the advertising of sexual services, and the management of the sale of sexual services under certain conditions. In Greece, the requirements for working legally as an escort are a) to be registered and have a professional certificate, b) to undergo medical examinations every two weeks, c) to work in or collaborate with a licensed branch providing services of a similar nature.
That's as far as the legal framework is concerned. How this world works is the complex part and, as the individuals themselves mention in their interviews, it is something that is not disclosed to them from the outset, but something that everyone learns along the way, making mistakes and often falling into bad situations. The financial rewards for an average escort start at €1,200 and can reach up to €15,000 for one night. Of course, the payment is often not only monetary, but may also include material gifts, such as trips to exotic destinations, stays in luxury hotels, rental of luxury apartments, or even payment of student expenses. At the same time, we are talking about people next door, who study or work in the morning and transform into angels in the evening, whose sole purpose is to take care of the client.
Like everything in life, there are two sides to this coin. Although they have complete freedom to accept or reject customers, this does not mean that all customers take into account the "no" and the limits set by the Escorts, and quite often things can get out of hand, with unpleasant physical and psychological consequences for them. And when this happens, they cannot easily ask for help, as there is a long list of words they cannot use to explain the dangerousness of the situation they find themselves in. In this regard, the existence of escort agencies, which operate under strict rules, provides security for both sides. They act as intermediaries between clients and escorts, selecting and training the escorts and informing clients about the services that are permitted.
On the negative side, I would add the essentially solitary life they lead, as coming out to friends, family, or a potential partner is not easy, given the stigma that exists. They often build a relationship of trust with their clients and, in some cases, become exclusive, especially if they are public figures and appear together in public. They form working relationships, friendships, and relationships of mutual respect. Because there is also this side to the profession, beyond the dark one.
Contact, meaningful personal contact with another person, is what most of us are looking for, not sex. And because ignorance was and is the thorn in the side of true knowledge throughout humanity, in the words of a luxury escort in Cosmopolitan (Ms. Montenegro), one can see one of the biggest problems we humans have: "Most of my clients never asked me for extreme things in bed, nor did they want to live out their ultimate sexual fantasy with me. Sex was mostly perfectly normal, and what I noticed was how vulnerable they seemed after intercourse."
