Exploring Non-Sexual Activities With an Escort
There are many misconceptions about escort services. For example, people often confuse escorts with prostitutes. The two are very different. Prostitution is illegal and can lead to jail time.
Escorts offer companionship, social company, and other non-sexual services. If an escort engages in sexual activity for money, she may be charged with prostitution.
1. Massage
Massage is one of the most common non-sexual services offered by escorts. This service involves using stretching and compression techniques on a variety of parts of the body, including the head, hands, feet and back. It also helps relieve pain from migraines, stress and insomnia. A full-body massage can also improve circulation, reduce tension and relieve anxiety.
Research has shown that massage can increase the levels of serotonin in your brain, which helps you relax and feel more at ease. This is why many people find it relaxing, especially when it’s done by a professional who knows what they’re doing.
Escorts can offer a variety of different massages, from erotic to basic. Some even offer happy endings, which is illegal in New Mexico but is a popular option for clients that want to go the extra mile. However, if penetration is involved, it is considered sexual intercourse and would violate New Mexico’s prostitution laws. So, it’s important for escorts to be careful when offering this type of service. They need to make sure that no money or anything of value changes hands and the encounter is completely consensual.
2. Cuddling
There are a lot of people who want to cuddle with an escort, and that’s not such a bad thing. Cuddles are a great way to bond, and they’re very romantic. Besides, snuggling releases oxytocin, which is a natural feel-good hormone. It can also lead to physical intimacy, but that’s not always necessary.
A recent study examined cuddling services offered by body workers in Europe. It found that these practitioners resist and challenge hegemonic gender norms associated with intimacy and sexuality through their practices. This is especially true when they frame these interactions as therapeutic.
One such practitioner is Jackie Samuel, who runs The Snuggery in Penn Field, NY. Her service offers hourly sessions with individual cuddlers for roughly a dollar per minute. She has withstood public outrage and hostile accu- sesations to her work because she asserts the human need for intimate, non-sexual touch. She also argues that her practice is not prostitution because she offers no sexual pleasure to her clients. She just provides a safe space to explore a non-sexual kink that many people desire.
3. Sharing a Meal
Many people equate escorting with prostitution because they think that a woman selling her body for money is immoral. Sadly, this mindset can be a problem for both workers and clients. It leads to a kind of whorearchy, where certain types of companions are considered ‘higher class’ than others. In reality, it’s just a matter of how discreet and respectful the service is. If a client wants to explore their non-sexual kink with an escort, they need to find someone who is willing to listen while also being thoroughly professional.
For example, some workers specialise in erotic massages such as an oil body rub, nuru session or tantra experience. In these cases, a teasing touch can turn a client on, and some escorts may even have erotic massage training. However, if the client is in a place where hands-on sex work is criminalised, it’s important to be tactful with requests and only talk about sexual services after building trust. Cuddling, sharing a meal, drinking alcohol, taking a walk and shopping are all positive behaviours that can be enjoyed by escorts.
4. Walking
Escorts often market themselves as companionship rather than sexual services. This is to combat what’s called the whorearchy, which is the assumption that people who sell sexy time are lower class or immoral. The term companionship is more socially acceptable, but it requires tact on both sides. Clients should avoid using the word sexy, and escorts must be careful not to say anything overtly suggestive on their websites or in person. Taking a walk, watching a show or shopping are all great non-sexual activities that can be enjoyed by escorts and clients alike.
Note that these activities do not include penetration, which would be considered prostitution under most laws.
5. Shopping
The most common non-sexual activities with an escort involve shopping. The client might want to have an escort take them to buy something special, or she may just be interested in talking and having some fun. Some escorts are very good at this, and it can be quite entertaining.
While some people might think that sex workers who market themselves as non-sexual companions are more legitimate than those who sell sex, this kind of thinking is problematic. It contributes to a whorearchy, in which some sex workers are viewed as more moral or desirable than others.
It is important for sex workers to offer clients a range of non-sexual activities, such as massage, cuddling and sharing a meal. This will help to ensure that they are not accused of selling sex. In addition, it is important to ensure that the area where sexual activity takes place is clean and safe. This includes ensuring that objects and surfaces that come into contact with lubricant, semen and blood are made of a material that is easy to clean and disinfect.
