Meeting escorts in Switzerland: What do the terms private and discreet mean?

 

When a man decides to go to an independent escort rather than going to an erotic studio, his number one criterion is that it be private. He doesn't want to be seen or recognized.

When an independent escort (Swiss or foreign) chooses Switzerland to offer her services (mainly because the activity is legal and regulated there), she generally looks for a very discreet location. As she doesn't necessarily live in Switzerland, being recognized is less of a problem, but remaining discreet so that no one knows about her activity (although prostitution is legal here, discretion should never be taken lightly) is of great importance.

The combination of both - private and discreet - is obviously ideal! In fact, these two criteria are the most important elements an escort looks for when deciding to rent an apartment in which to receive her clients. Her Incall place (the place where the Sex Worker receives her clients) needs to be clean and well-located, but also private and discreet!

In this article, I invite you to find out more about the nature of these two terms (private and discreet), which are not always well understood. Indeed, we see them everywhere on Swiss escort websites, without really understanding their meaning. And many of those who use these words are, in most cases, neither in a private nor in a discreet location...

You should be aware that these terms and definitions can also apply to other countries, but in this article, I'm focusing mainly on their meaning in the context of the Swiss escort industry.

 

What is a private place?

Private means that the girl welcomes you in a place (apartment or hotel room) where she is ALONE. A "shared flat" with another girl who rents the room next door is not a private place. An apartment where the pimp hides in the kitchen is not private. An erotic studio where two or more girls (present at the same time or not) work is not a private place. An erotic studio/gents' club (where there are usually more than twenty girls) is not a private place.

To sum up: 1 apartment + 1 lady only + 1 customer only = private.

If this scenario doesn't occur, the girl isn't receiving you at a private location.

 

What is a discreet place?

Please note: A private place is not always discreet. Discretion refers to the ease of access to the place, while remaining unknown, unnoticed.

In general, a discreet place does not have a red light (reminiscent of the "red light district"). A discreet location does not have a sign, visible to all, indicating the nature of the activity carried out at this address. Finally, a discreet place only receives guests by appointment (no clientele coming and going), because the risk of running into someone you know (especially if you're going to see an escort close to your home) is considerably reduced. The icing on the cake is a completely unobtrusive entrance (building, reception area, etc.).

To sum up: Discreet = no red lights, no visible signs of activity, no walk-in clientele.

 

Now you know the difference between the words “private” and “discreet”. If it's important for you to meet an independent escort at a private and discreet location, and if you're not sure she'll welcome you in this context, call her before confirming the appointment, just to be on the safe side...
