What's the differnce between an escort and a prostitute?

[warmcome]

When you say Prostitute to me I vision a kerb crawler or a woman working in a brothel seeing men/women like a conveyor belt, when you say Escort I vision an independant lady working from her own place looking after both the physical and emotional needs of her gentleman callers, even someone that you could take with you to an occasion, much like a condensed version of the olden time Courtesan..

sounds like denial-most girls would love to have their ankles behind their ears all day!

emotional needs? I feel unwell
