This is like one of those conversations where two people are talking about something so sensitive that they can't say it, so they tiptoe and carefully step around the thing they're talking about

Its an open forum ffs. looks like one of those threads where nobody has the neck to speak their mind.

Ah, I think Violette was looking for the meaning of the word "Escort", or what it means to each person...........

Not another words for it, or the most derogatory term people can think of for it............

Escort means to me sex with beautiful ladies from all around the world whenever I want.

Simple ....

An escort is someone who charges for her time and companionship only. Anything else that occurs is a matter of coincidence and choice between consenting adults.

The funny thing about this definition is that it is actually correct, except for the ridiculous bit about "coincidence", and yet, if a friend asked "I've heard you can make good money as an escort, what exactly does an escort do?", that would definitely not be a helpful reply.

Interesting no one was brave enough to come out and speak their minds.
An escort is a nice PC name for a prostitute, it allows those men who would never visit a prostitute to have their cake and eat it too.

No one has the neck to come out and say what they really think.

So come on you spineless feckers tell us what do you really think.

More or less. Escort is a more restrictive term than prostitute, just as sex worker is a less restrictive term. Streetwalkers would normally be described as prostitutes but not as escorts. Cam girls would normally be described as sex workers, but not as prostitutes.

I don't have any problem with the meaning of the word prostitute, just with some of its connotations. I know I'm paying for sex. I've no illusions on that score. But prostitute is used as a verb to describe the activities of unsavoury types like politicians, and I wouldn't want to compare your honest work with what they do. Also, I can't quite get the etymology of the word prostitute out of my head. Prostituere is to put something or someone on display with a mind to selling it or them. When applied to a person, it reeks of the slave market. There is still some of that feeling left in French prostituée. Less in English, but still enough to put me off somewhat.
