Tart cards in phone boxes advertise the services of call girls

A call girl or escort 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. One must summon her, 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 or a pander. Image File history File links Question_book-3. ... Image File history File links Broom_icon. ...

Call girls can work either incall, where the client comes to them, or outcall, where they come to the client.

Call girls are commonly perceived to be elite amongst prostitutes, far more skilled, able to pick and choose amongst their potential clients and therefore demand higher prices for their services, and are more attractive, educated, well-groomed and youthful than street prostitutes. An escort service will not take on any woman who is unattractive, has a visible drug problem (such as needle marks from injecting drugs), or who presents an overly negative personality. Also, many escort agencies do criminal background checks on applicants to weed out those that have been arrested for street prostitution or other types of crimes.^{[citation needed]} Drug addiction, or dependency is the compulsive use of drugs, to the point where the user has no effective choice but to continue use. ...

Non-sex work

Not all clients hire call girls for physical reasons. Some simply do so for companionship either for social reasons (i.e. attending a party) or for companionship (i.e. 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.

Companionship

This is most common in elderly and or widowed men^{[citation needed]} that simply 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 this type of customer. It is not unusual for these "chat" call girls to receive big tips or even bequests from clients. The text or formatting below is generated by a template which has been proposed for deletion. ...

Social Settings

Another client who does not ask for sex may want to impress others by having an attractive woman as his date, if not as pretend girlfriend or wife, This can be known as "Girlfriend Experience" (GFE). Such a client may 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. // “School reunion” redirects here. ...

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. For further information, see Las Vegas metropolitan area and Las Vegas Strip. ...

Certain women are involved in these businesses because they don't have any other options open to earn money. Some opt for this profession because it is an easy 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 dont have partners hire men for sex.

Internet

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.

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 place (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.

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. Usually this option would be explicitly stated as "Oral w/o", "Oral without", or "BBBJ" which is a commonly acronym for Bare Back BJ. 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. Other terms include DFK (Deep French Kissing - ie open mouth kissing with tongues), CIM (cum in mouth). This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

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

This means that the call girl will perform oral 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.
