A call girl or escort[1] is a sex worker who (unlike a street walker) is not visible to the general public. Nor does she usually belong to an institution like a brothel (although she may be employed by an escort agency). The client must make an appointment, usually by calling a telephone number — hence the term "call girl". Often, call girls advertise their services in small ads in magazines and through the Internet, although an intermediary advertiser such as an escort agency may be involved in promoting "higher class" escorts. The "lower-class" side of escorts may be handled by a pimp.[2] Call girls may work either incall, where the client comes to them, or outcall, where they go to the client.

Call girls are sometimes seen as elite amongst prostitutes: more skilled, able to pick and choose amongst their potential clients and therefore demand higher prices for their services, and more likely to be attractive, educated, well-groomed and youthful. Escort services generally do not take on any woman who has a visible drug problem (such as needle marks from injecting drugs) or who presents an overly negative personality. Also, escort agencies may do criminal background checks on applicants to weed out those that have been arrested for street prostitution or other types of crimes.[3]

[edit] Non-sex work

Not all clients hire call girls for sex. Some simply do so either for social reasons (e.g. attending a party) or for companionship (e.g. someone who feels lonely may hire a girl to provide companionship missing in his or her life). Other call girls may specialize in domination or other fetishes which do not require intimate sexual activity.[4]

[edit] Companionship

It is most common for elderly and/or widowed men to hire call girls for companionship[5][6], simply to enjoy the company of an attractive or intelligent woman. Escort agencies try to determine if this is what a client wants and if it is, the agency will try to send their most educated and polite women to the man. It is not unusual for these "chat" call girls to receive big tips or even bequests from clients.[7] [8] In the movie Klute, Bree Daniels performs this service for an elderly garment manufacturer.

[edit] Social Settings

Instead of sex, the client may simply desire to impress his peers by having an attractive woman as his date, or even pretend girlfriend or wife. Performing this role is known as "Girlfriend Experience" (GFE) prostitution. The client may, for example, be attending a high school or college class reunion or an office social event. Clients seeking this service will tell the escort service what their intention is. They may specify what kind of woman they seek to play this role. The client may meet with the woman beforehand to evaluate her level of intelligence, education, manners, speech, and ability to execute the pretense, as well as to judge her appearance. They would go over his past, her (pretend) past and their feigned relationship, in order to successfully carry out the pretense.[9]

[edit] Call girls and celebrities

Male celebrities and rich men commonly hire call girls for sex to avoid the problem of unreasonable infatuation, where their partner is unreasonably attracted to them (and won't let go of the relationship or accept refusal) because of their status. It also avoids the problem of "kiss and tell" stories, where the girl would sell the story to the press. Both parties understand their respective positions and do not go beyond them. Some of these men are even open about what their date is to those they're partying with, though call girls request they not be. These "dates" can include flying by private jet to Las Vegas, staying in a luxury hotel suite, dining at the finest restaurants, dancing at the hottest nightclubs, and gambling at the casinos. Usually, the man will first hire the woman for a short date to determine if he wants to do longer ones (such as the one just mentioned) with her. Here again, the woman's appearance, intelligence, manners, sociability and education come into consideration.

Some opt for this profession because it is a way of making money while enjoying the pleasure of sex with different partners. Recently men have also jumped into these businesses and provide sexual services to ladies. Higher class ladies, those that live far away from their husbands or who like to have sex but don't have partners hire men for sex.[10][11][12][13]

Most call girl agencies and independent call girls are now online, and the Internet has become the main venue for a customer to find his match. Generally, a picture of the girl is provided, and sometimes, the type of sexual services she is willing to offer. Some agencies also propose for a higher fee people of special interest, such as twins, former porn stars, B-List models, prodommes or even submissives.

The Internet includes many directories or listings of call girls or escorts. These may cover a specific area or a wider region (even worldwide). Usually the call girl or the agency is responsible for submitting their information to the appropriate directory.

Websites are also used by clients/hobbyists to provide a review of the call girls they have met and rate them, on their aesthetics, behavior or sexual performances. For the readers of evaluation web sites the rating of the call girls is often a determining factor in their selection.

[edit] Call girl internet slang

Because offering sexual services in exchange for money is illegal in many areas, certain code words in the subculture of sex work have emerged to communicate in lieu of description of explicit acts. For instance, the words incall and outcall describe the location of the encounter. Incall means that the session takes place at the call girl's location (her apartment or hotel room in the case of a city tour). Outcall means that the session is at a place selected by the customer, personal home, or hotel room.

[edit] Oral activity codes

Sex workers vary greatly in their willingness to kiss or engage in oral sex. Terms such as DFK (Deep French Kissing - i.e. open mouth kissing with tongues) and LFK (Light French Kissing - open mouth but without tongue) are commonly used to describe kissing activities. Providing oral sex can be described as BBBJ (Bare Back Blow Job - no condom) and CIM (Cum In Mouth) while DATY (Dining At The Y) indicates a provider is willing to allow a client to perform oral sex on her.[citations needed]

[edit] GFE, the "Girlfriend Experience"

Another familiar word of the call girl slang is GFE, an acronym for "girlfriend experience". It usually implies that an escort will have a warm personality, be willing to kiss the client, hold hands and be generally affectionate. This also includes an assumption that the girl will perform oral sex without a condom barrier. Another codical term is "Greek." A call girl who is "Greek welcome" is willing to have anal sex with the client. This term is more commonly used in the USA. In the UK, the common term for those who are willing to have anal sex is A-Levels or A-Class, signifying the A in anal. For example, if the girl does anal she may state on her online profile "educated to A-Level". "A-Level" in USA typically means the girl is a "Five Star" escort, implying that she is high-class and receives high-rating review of her services.

[edit] PSE, the "Porn Star Experience"

Another related term is PSE (Porn Star Experience). This suggests that the escort has a very aggressive sexual demeanor, or is very accommodating of unusual requests and complex requests. This may include a willingness to perform all acts, including anal sex, without a condom barrier.

Here is a typical example of a girl description, taken randomly from a city tour web site:

Deep French kiss (DFK), oral without to completion (CIM/CIF/COB), 69, sex in different poses.


This means that the call girl will perform french kiss with the tongue, fellatio without condom up to the customer's ejaculation, in mouth (CIM), on the face (CIF), or over the body (COB), will partake mutual simultaneous oral sex, and practice various poses or positions during intercourse.
