Escort Girl versus Prostitute: is there any difference?

Those who have not read our article “Courtesan versus Escort Girl: what is the difference?” might want to have a quick look at that comparison before diving into our explanation on what differentiates an Escort Girl from a Prostitute.

How the majority sees it

For most people, the term “escort girl” is a euphemism for prostitute. It is an effort by people to make subtle distinctions between various segments of the sex industry.

Prostitute: a demonic connotation

I believe, primarily, that it is a humane distancing from a word (prostitute) that has been weighed down by undue shame and stigma. Prostitution is often referred to as the oldest profession in the world, but if it is so, it must obviously be of some value to society. Demonizing the service has dehumanized the people who wish to exercise this profession. And I do emphasize “wish to”, because otherwise we are not talking about prostitution, but sex slavery. So, leaving the derogatory term by the wayside was more than justified, it was needed.

The real difference between an escort girl and a prostitute

There is an understanding in the sex trade that certain words mean certain things. Prostitute, much like streetwalker usually means something derogatory, lower class or downright nasty, just like brothel workers or full-service parlor masseuses might feel like conveyer belt providers. They all serve a purpose and can be appropriate depending on each client’s situation.

A prostitute expect money for a specific sexual act, an escort exchange her time for money to provide her client with an experience.  

The use of the word “escort girl” implies more self-respect, better quality service or at the very least the impression that the client is not one of a multitude too many. Often, especially for an independent escort girl, much work goes into weeding out potential unsuitable clients, developing a core group of high-quality clients and building a “brand name”. Every aspect of the encounter, from the surroundings to the wine, candles, lingerie, etc has been carefully crafted to bring maximum pleasure to the client. The holistic experience that an escort girl puts into a date with her client cannot be compare with what a prostitute has to offer. And if you ever meet an escort girl that blows you away on all fronts, well, you have met a courtesan…

For the escort girl: less is more

Note that a prostitute is not necessarily cheaper than an Escort Girl. It is all about the type of experience you are going to have. It is all about quality over quantity. An escort girl will focus on quality while the prostitute will rather go for quantity (that's why many of them are offering quickies for instance). Making a clear distinction between an escort girl and a prostitute is also about respecting the fact that everyone wants something different and when it comes to that, the escort girl is probably the right pick. Or that at the very least, understanding that nobody needs to be unduly reminded of the nuts and bolts of the business. Therefore, if you are dating a prostitute (or planning to date one), no need to name her such. Call her by her working name or use the term “working girl”. Indeed, both parties to these transactions know what is going on, no need to bring up the obvious.
