Escort Services – insights into the booming escort agency industry

Escort services are services offered by so-called escort agencies and belong to the adult industry. This is a completely legal type of employment that is treated with a certain amount of appreciation and respect.

This type of service must therefore be clearly distinguished from general prostitution, as it is about more than just sex.

This industry has experienced a real boom in the last two decades and is now one of the largest markets in the adult entertainment industry worldwide.

This can also be seen in the numerous providers who are mainly located in urban regions, large metropolises and at busy transport hubs such as main train stations and airports.

Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg and Stuttgart in particular, as the hubs of the German business world, offer a veritable wealth of escort services .

At the same time as the growing supply, the demand for sophisticated and high-class escorts grown significantly, which is also reflected in the willingness to pay ever higher prices for pretty, educated and charming companions. Previously, such services were reserved for a small elite of executives and financially powerful entrepreneurs.

However, this circumstance has changed over the last few years, so that more and more people from the general population are treating themselves to high-quality accompaniment for all kinds of occasions. Maybe because the economy has been booming for years and there are more wealthy people than ever before.

An escort lady’s customers – who really books?

Many ladies who want to work as an escort ask themselves “Who books an escort lady and for what purpose does someone book an escort lady?” The following video presents a few examples that occur most frequently:

• The young, good-looking escort customer
• The businessman who books an escort lady
• Escort company on the weekend
• The escort customer who likes to experiment
• The customer with the stopover
• Asian escort customers
• Couples book escort ladies

If you take a look at the range of first-class escort agencies - such as the Berlin escort agency Excellent Escorts - Gentleman's Choice - then it quickly becomes clear that the escort ladies will satisfy even the most demanding customers. They are young (usually in their 20s or 30s) and extremely attractive, very educated, charming, and confident in style.

These are often students who earn a respectable additional income alongside their studies. And apparently it's not just money that plays a role in the decision to work as an escort. In fact, for very few people it's all about the money. This is the main difference to the red light district.

Many of these young ladies also want to fulfill themselves sexually, test boundaries, gain access to an elite class, enjoy a cultured evening and/or are looking for erotic titillation.

A fact that escort ladies also appreciate is the fact that the high prices mean that the rednecks and teenagers with the prospect of a quickie are eliminated as clientele. After all, a night with a woman costs between 800 and 2500 euros, depending on the woman and the agency.

Instead, the usual customer base mostly includes successful men between the ages of 30 and 50 who have made it in their lives, mostly business people who would like to remain anonymous.

According to some ladies, some men even go to great lengths to create a stylish and romantic atmosphere. This of course makes it much more pleasant to slip into the role of the charming seductress.

Find a reputable escort agency – this is how it works!

An excerpt from Bell Bennett's video:

“In my 15 years in the escort and erotic industry I have already experienced a lot, but I always come across (prospective) escort ladies who tell me the wildest and most hair-raising stories about different escort agencies. These agencies were usually founded by former escort customers, escort ladies or even programmers who were of the opinion that it was enough to have a few escort ladies on a homepage. Such agencies grow very quickly and are gone from the market as quickly as they came. That’s why it’s important to look for an escort agency that has been on the market for a long time.”

A distinction from general prostitution

Prostitution is an umbrella term that includes offering sexual services for payment. Strictly speaking, escort services are also included. But there is a difference to other types of erotic services.

To illustrate this claim, we must remember that prostitution commonly means a quickie for cold hard cash, such as one finds in brothels , whorehouses, sauna clubs , and on the street. Hobby whores, who usually offer their services privately over the Internet, are also included.

But escorts are different and cannot necessarily be compared. They have made a conscious decision to do this, they mostly enjoy their lifestyle and are not paid for quick sex, but for their time.

And it's not just a clock ticking down because the next guest is already waiting, but rather you have the opportunity to get to know each other in a stylish and pleasant way. Attending cultural events and events is also often on the agenda.

So in addition to physical experiences, it's also about feeling and intimacy, and unlike in a brothel, kissing is also allowed. It is even desirable to build erotic tension between men and women.

Something authentic that you can't get in a brothel. In the end, however, it is still a business model, limited in time and without any further moral obligations for both sides.

I would like to briefly compare the main features of both sides for you.

Working in a brothel:

• Predominant focus on sexual acts
• Men usually come to enjoy sex quickly, to relax and then leave straight away
• Usually limited to a short period of time – 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours,…
• There will be no personal discussions unless expressly requested
• Kissing is generally not allowed

Working as an escort:

• Greater focus on companionship and going out
• Men usually come to have an attractive and charming companion at an event, or for a dinner, an evening together or a short vacation for two
• Escorts are more independent and are more able to choose their clients
• An attempt is made to create an erotic and tingling atmosphere between men and women
• Sexual acts are not a must and only take place with mutual consent

Interview with Escort Luisa from “Temporary Beloved”

In the following video interview by Kathrin Ismaier you will learn a lot about the escort lady Luisa and her background, how she came to work as an escort, how her family and those around her deal with her job and what the difference is between being an escort and working in one brothel or whorehouse.

Luisa also talks about how she was initially ashamed of her job because it was very stigmatized in the media - and how she has managed to deal with it much more openly today and stand up for herself...

And while we're at it, I'd like to address a few related terms that can also sometimes cause confusion and confusion:

Working as a sugar baby:

• Here a girl, usually young and pretty, enters into a relationship with a financially powerful partner who then finances her (often luxurious) lifestyle in return.
• It's not necessarily about sex, it can be a platonic relationship or just a friendship. Any mixed forms of these are also conceivable.
• Can also be a form of sponsorship from a wealthy patron.
• Not limited to a specific period of time.

Working as a porn star/erotic star:

• Porn stars are professional actresses in the erotic film industry.
• You only perform sex scenes with other professional partners.
• They are generally not available for sexual services.

Working as a stripper/go-go dancer:

• This is about dancing and being enchanted by dance.
• It can be looked at but not touched.
• A form of artistic performance and athletic achievement.
• It's not about offering sexual services .

I think it has now become clear how escort agencies differ from brothels etc. and what explains the large price differences. Nevertheless, I would still like to point out the most important reasons for men to use the services of a professional escort.

Men’s motivations – advantages of an escort service

• Attractive, sophisticated and charming accompaniment for events and functions of all kinds
• Escorts are young, extremely attractive, very educated, charming, stylish and confident.
• In addition to physical experiences, it's also about feeling and intimacy; kissing is also allowed. An authentic-looking romance that you can't get in a brothel. Nevertheless, without further moral obligations for both sides.
• Flatters men's vanity and raises their social status with an enchanting female companion at their side.
• Huge selection of high class escorts who can respond very specifically to the requirements, expectations and preferences of their clientele.
• High level of discretion and professionalism to protect the privacy of their customers
• Can sweeten a vacation or a business trip, offer variety and are masters of entertainment

Now that we are clear about the terminology and the main motivations for men to book an escort model, I would now like to address one of the biggest influencing factors on the modern escort sector - the Internet.

This is how the internet and social media have changed the escort industry

The emergence and rapid developments in the areas of the Internet and communication have completely turned the world as we knew it upside down and significantly changed all of our lives. This of course also applies to the industry surrounding escort service providers and the like.

Long gone are the days when gentlemen pored over thick, glossy catalogs of ladies. This form of external communication has now been digitized and today's agencies primarily compete for their customers online.

At the same time, the recruitment of women is now predominantly done via the Internet. It is therefore unnecessary to emphasize that the quality of the website and the contact options via the Internet contribute enormously to the success of a provider.

The information content also plays a major role in customer trust.

Nowadays you can look at hundreds of women online with their set cards, photo galleries, short profiles, their measurements, cup size, their so-called specials, etc.

Above all, the liberalization of the prostitution paragraphs in the criminal code - which made of paid sexual contacts

You no longer have to visit the agency in person and spend time going through the catalogs, but can now get a first insight in a much more anonymous way via the Internet. Much to the delight of numerous customers who value discretion.

rise of social media also had a huge impact on the industry. Twitter, Facebook and Google+ are primarily used to advertise escorts and to expand or strengthen customer relationships.

The quick response times via these networks ensure almost real-time communication between escorts and potential customers. Meetings can be arranged and organized faster, more efficiently and more easily.
