What exactly do escorts do?

Lights On?
One could say that this is the evolution, or the poshest version of the most ancient profession in the history of the whole world, and this is none other than escorting. And yes, from antiquity to the 4th century AD, escort services were known, while then until the end of the 18th century and due to the growing need for the protection of women’s rights, professional rights were claimed, reaching the 21st century where it is now quite organized.
The services offered by an escort are available through legal corporate entities and are now a very profitable professional orientation. However, we know little about the way of life or operation of this workplace and this is 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 is such that it imposes it. Nevertheless, over the years some have broken their silence – even anonymously – and through personal interviews they have helped us learn a few things about the secret world of escorting. Let’s see them little by little, starting with what is the difference between it and prostitution.
Escorts do not necessarily perform the duties of a partner. An escort, professionally, is considered a person who is paid to spend time with someone. They can accompany a client to dinner, to a concert, to business events, to a luxury hotel or simply to spend time talking, helping to recover psychology after a stressful situation, since due to confidentiality one can say things that are not easy for him to express to his own people. In other words, a client hires an escort for companionship and not only the necessary for sex.
Their work is not limited to an hour or two, but to entire nights, days, and even weekends. As for what exactly it involves, it has a lot to do with the area where 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 act. If an escort agrees to a sexual act or even describes a sexual act that they could perform to their client, they could face serious criminal penalties. In Canada, it is also a legal profession, however, various activities around it are illegal, including purchasing sexual services, advertising sexual services, and managing the sale of sexual services under certain circumstances. In Greece, the requirements to work legally as an escort are a) to be registered and have a professional certificate, b) to undergo medical examinations every 2 weeks, c) to work in or collaborate with a licensed branch providing services of a similar nature.
This is 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 made known to them from the beginning but everyone learns it along the way, making mistakes and often falling into mischief. The financial earnings of an average escort start at 1,200 euros and can reach up to 15,000 euros for one night. Of course, the payment is often not only monetary, but material rewards can also be given, such as trips to exotic destinations, accommodation in luxury hotels, renting luxury apartments or even paying for student expenses. At the same time, we are talking about people next door, who study or work in the morning and transform into angels at night whose sole purpose is to take care of the client.
Like everything in life, this coin has two sides. Although they have complete freedom to accept or reject clients, it does not mean that all clients take into account the “no” and the limits set by the Escorts and many times things can go beyond permissible entertainment, with bad physical and psychological consequences for them. And when this happens, they cannot easily ask for help, as there is a long list of words that they cannot use to explain the danger of the situation they are in. In this regard, the existence of Escort agencies, which operate with strict rules, provides security for both sides. They act as intermediaries between clients and escorts, undertaking the selection and training of escorts and informing clients about the permissible services offered.
To the negatives of the matter, I will add the basically solitary life they have, as revealing to friends, family or a potential relationship is not an easy task, since the stigma exists. Often, they create a relationship of trust with their clients and sometimes reach the point of being exclusive, especially if they are public figures and joint appearances are included. They build working relationships, friendships, relationships of mutual appreciation. Because there is also this side of the profession, beyond the dark one.
Contact, personal meaningful contact with another person is what most of us are looking for and not sex. And because ignorance was and is the thorn in the side of real knowledge, throughout humanity, through the words of a luxury escort at the cosmopolitan (Ms. Montenegro), one can see one of the biggest problems that people have: “Most of my clients never asked me for extreme things in bed, nor did they want to live out the ultimate sexual fantasy with me. Sex most of the time was completely normal and what I noticed was how vulnerable they seemed after contact.”
