As Select High Class will soon have listings for male escorts, we thought we would dip into this topic.
Why would a woman book a Male Escort?
Not quite the same reason as to why a male may book a female escort but in some cases it is similiar. A male may solely book a female escort for physical reasons. It seems to be very cut and clear what men want. But what do women want? More. Whilst it is also true for ladies to book for intimacy, most times, this is not the case. Fundamentally, a woman may book a male escorts genuinely as an 'escort'. She will book for longer hours and will usually include an evening out or dinner date or overnight. She may hire one of the male escorts to escort her to a wedding, a day at the races, a dinner with friends where she is genuinely without a partner. Not just an hour "quickie". More ofden, the escort will meet her friends socially and will have to "play" out the role of boyfriend. Intimate relations may not be involved. He will have to be a good listener, be caring, sensitive and charming. And he will have to have no ego! It will have to be all about her. A woman booking one of the male escorts would be older, wealthy and spend on the higher class male escort. She won't book a cheaper one, otherwise she may not book one at all. She is not looking for instant cheap gratification. She is looking to feel special, good about herself and indulged in. Not all escorts would be able to do this. It takes a certain kind of manner and social skill. She will book one of the london male escorts who is at the very least 30 years of age, most likely older, suited and distinguished. Enjoy the vids!

The escort business always seems to be booming. Just type in any related keywords to this industry and a long list of agencies and directories come up. The business can be lucrative but requires a significant investment. Escort agencies need a huge down payment before starting to make any mark. There are certain areas that make things more cost effective i.e the cheaper market. Providing a cheaper escort service will get the calls coming in. However, there is a niche for all markets ie the high class elite escorts, mature escorts, cheap escorts, Indian escorts and of course the domination/fetish ones. The escort industry must be turning over millions if not billions each year. But there isn't very much information on this business on the web or elsewhere, not stats or real data figures. The only way to measure things up is to look at the various agencies and directories and calculate how much they could be making. Just by observing the web, the figures add up to an extraodinary figure in this business. It's a wonder it is not on the stock exchange. But then the legal and moral struggles of people hush it out of sight. It seems like it is a caged industry. Some will say it is disgusting and others will think it a great business.
A caged world with a devilish darkness; this seems to forever pervail the escort industry. It is a still very secret way of life for some. As long as everything is legal why isn't it more mainstream? It will always be there and everything being legal, it is still rolling in the dollars. This debate could go on forever, its all got to do with morality, religion, upbringing and social norms. Something so basic to the human need, ie the company and often (intimacy) of another, can be looked at with such distain, simply because money is involved. Isn't it worse to fool or seduce someone into making them think you actually like them, just for physical gain? When money is involved there are no broken hearts. In life, we do all give and receive in various ways. This one just happens to involve money.
It is no secret that men and women think differently. Obvious reasons are biological. Nature has played it out this way. Because of the procreation of the species, there are different inherent roles to be played out by both sexes. Men are more solution orientated, this is because from the beginning of time they were the "hunters gathers" and needed to provide for their families for all to survive. Women were more about bringing up the children so developed a nurturing and caring nature. But this is not the case today, we do not have hunters, caves or the like. But the instinctual feeling are still there in all of us and have put us in a constant flux with one another.
Women and men both think they are right and very logical in their ways of thinking but don't rationalise that their partner might also be right. There are no right and no wrong answers, just a kind of murky grey that prevails, and, we have to get through it somehow. And so we have come this far. We have built a very beautiful and successful world to date. We have journed through the centuries as a kind of collaborated team, attaining many loving relationships with each other on the way. So why do men and women get irritated with each other? We do get very excited with each other sometimes and when feelings are there its all heavenly, but outside of that there are some moments of "he/she dosn't understand me". There are many self help books on the topic, even seminars and workshops.
But the best way could be by learning from experience, developing empathy and respect over the years. Sometimes taking a step back, going out for a walk or having a few moments alone from your dear one will solve the problem. But the most successful way of prolonging a relationship might be to become hapy within oneself, through either achieving of goals, monetary or otherwise or a change in lifestyle. If one is completely happy within themselves, there is very little chance they will be unhappy with another.

"No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry."
"Just because someone dosn't love you the way you want them to, dosn't mean they don't love you with all they have."
"A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart."
"The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them."
"Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile."
"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."
"Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you."
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

If you know that a client has reviewed other escorts and is now considering seeing you, isn't he a safe bet. Because he has reviewed others, he most definately hasn't robbed or assaulted them – (that's looking at the extreme), he would most likely be ok, we are not talking about a polite "catering to your every whim gentleman" but he would most likely be ok. Especially if he has seen other escort companions as well. He knows what to expect and has experience. If the website he does reviews on has counter reviews – i.e where escorts can review clients, then all the better. Everybody can then feel a little safer. You know the client wont' be ultra nervous or extremely shy of seeing you as he has seen other escorts before you. A clients who reviews may well be the perfect client.
And then there is your marketing. A few good reviews can give an indication of your service, and, if favourable can propel you above others as regards bookings. Just one good review can do a lot. Really, reviews are just saying "she is ok", they are not supposed to be ultra graphic (although some are) or demeaning to you… but they should be viewed as subjective, one clients deliciouscrumpet is another clients "not so good crumpet". Not everybody will have the exact same opinion with meeting someone, as another person would. Life is grey…………………………………………………
So why wounldn't you want a review? This is a moral whirlpool. Reviews can give the impression that women are objects and takes the human aspect away. Few will think this way, but most will not. Most clients have the intelligence and social skills to respect people no matter what has been written about them or their gender. But what people think (clients and escorts alike) – does it really matter? At the end of the day it is just a business transaction, and as long as there is not a crime being committed, and, all are reasonably polite to each other then its nobody's business.
Seems to be. There seems to be a lull in the escort market at the moment. Nobody wants to pay the high prices. For some £200 is a crazy price to pay for 1 hour of an escorts' time, even £150 is too much. This is not true, £200 is a very reasonable for a London Escort. There are high advertising costs associated with the higher prices. However, the problem is that there are some very cheap escort services offering outcalls, for example, for £110 or less. This makes it very hard for others to earn money. There are some very inexpensive agencies out there with stunning girls on their books. And showing their faces, from english to mature to ebony. The range is infinite. Who to choose? What do you get if you pay the higher priced agencies?
Some clients even want half hours or try to negotiate on prices. In years gone by, it was fairly easy for an escort to earn £250 incall and £300 outcall, today this is very difficult. It can be earned, of course, but not as frequently. There are still the well off clients who will pay these prices. And more. There are sites out there like AW, for example, that have a very variable range of prices, some very very cheap. And for all kinds of services. There are loads of different types of escorts; the influx of eastern european girls in the past 5 years has toughened up the competition.
Everything is now affordable, there is no set rate for escorting services, if you want cheap you can get cheap. Cheap dosn't necessarily mean that the service is the same as a higher priced London Escort. There may be hidden extra payments required for extra services. But this may not be the case. One has to do research and look at reviews. Not sure how escort prices differ globally, but is probably the same, cheap up to the extreme end wherever you search. But one thing is for sure, the market is changing. The client wants cheaper and there will always be a service provider out there who will match this expectation.
So, you don't want your work colleagues to know you have booked an escort during your lunch break…and are currently trying to calculate the quickest way to get to her Kensington incall. There is no shame, but why do your fingers dice the computer keyboard like it is electricity everytime a work colleague edges themselves towards you? This is your shameful activity, and, you should be ashamed. Booking an escort…eerch. You don't want to be found out, there is that fear…then all your credibility with your work colleagues is may be gone one day if they find out…forever…you can never look them in the eye again. Or maybe they will admire it, they might not have the guts to book an escort, that is cahorting with the jazabels of society. But you must do this, you have been thinking about this for weeks and getting very excited in the process. You have to. You have to let go and unwind, unrobe and un – whatever else your escort companion will do for you. It is a fact of life. Life might be boring at home, you are a singleton, shy, want some, or just fancy a bit. You need to look "not guilty" when you come back from lunch or come to work the next day, after having visited the escort. You need to appear normal, as if you wouldn't ever do such a thing. Or you may be the other way, you may have discussed this exciting and dangerous part of life with your buddies and they know you are going for it!. Maybe you all discuss it together…do men gossip about such or brag or just tell it as it is? Would they tell each other? Is it something one may tell one's buddies… that is, that they called an escort? No matter what way you paint it, people will always look at you twice if you tell them you visited an escort. Like you did something wrong.

Anybody can flirt with anybody through one of the top dating apps. There are no awkard ego deflaters. Anyone can break the ice. Apps like TrueFlirt and AroundMe are very popular. There are apps that are targeted more towards the adult market or sex dating, and, those of a more traditional dating scene that are looking for a relationship. Some apps link with facebook and twitter profiles. The dating app industry is a very lucrative market; millions are spent, there are millions of members and millions are made. The dating app market is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years, traditional dating sites may be on their way out. Portable technology can now connect women and men based on their GPS coordinates. Apps can be downloaded to manage one's dating life. People can more easily now get over their ex if they have a distracting stream of lovelies on their iphone expressing an interest in them. Technology is now moving way fast forward for singles.
Even though it is extremely hot, things are been reported as being a bit quiet at the moment on the escort front. Usually. good weather attracts the clients to liaise with escorts and brings with it a desire to be be close to others. There are many reasons why business could be down.
There is always an escort who will do things cheaper out there. We are just plateauing after a recession and still coming out of the back end of it, so resources are still tight for some clients. If a 150 escort looks as pretty as a 500 escort and with similiar reviews it is a no brainer! Some clients want a quick time, in and out, so what exactly is 500 or more for? Not knocking it but one has to be sensible. There are more girls, especially the influx of eastern european ones that have arrived here over the last few years. This makes the competition in the market so much tougher. Back to prices, there are escort agencies who will send escorts for 110 or cheaper. So what to do? Keep the prices as you feel comfortable but advertise more. Be out there.One needs to stand out. Some clients won't consider seeing an escort unless she has reviews, one needs to get on Captain 69, TER etc. Paying extra for a front page or primary page listing should be done if one can afford it. One should be on them all and have a great personal website. Offering half hours should be considered if one needs to. Getting the best photos, and showing ones face is always preferable but with other assets like good reviews, one dosn't always need to show their face.
If a client likes an escort and she is in "central london" he won't mind travelling as all areas in the centre are fairly accessible via tubes and taxis. Moving out of central london is a little harder; there might not be so much traffic in these areas or people or they may not be so accessible. And even if a client lives in the outskirts of London, is it always easy for him to get to the centre. There are of course the hotspots in the city like Paddington. This station serves a lot of tube and train connections. But renting here is very expensive. If one is getting enough work and is very popular well great, but another alternative is to rent a serviced apartment if one can't afford to live in the centre. But if you rent a serviced apartment, like renting a real apartment, you have to get clients, otherwise it's a waste of money. But one could live a bit out and have an incall in a place like in Fulham, Islington etc. There are clients in all areas. The incall apartment must be near a tube station and be fairly easy to get to.
Escort Type
Unfortunately things like age, ethnicity, fluency in english, services offered, accommodation and look will factor in on how popular the escort is. But clients do have preferences so there is work for all but there is a stereotype. Marketing oneself for a niche market can have its rewards, for example, mature, domination, asian escorts – these are niche markets and do attract a valuable market.
Uniforms in every genre, style, shape and form have always been a bedroom fantasy for many couples. Some elude power such as the police womans uniform. Some submissiveness, such as the french maids uniform together with duster. Others hold naughty fantasies such as that of secretary and air hostess. Some adult shops now have uniforms ranging from Lusty Leopard to Black Widow costume. Bizarre.
The secretary uniform is a very traditional fantasy that comes from the scenario of boss and secretary working late and doing things they shouldn't do. Being up to no good has spurned the secretary costume. The provocative secretary outfit complete with glasses, stockings and necktie is hard to resist for many a gentleman. She is doing overtime in the office…but not of the paperwork variety! She parties hard with her boss and colleagues. This fantasy is the secret wish of many men. Many escorts have a selection of costumes as many clients want to act out such fantasies.
Another very popular play scenario is the police chick uniform. You did something naughty and now she had to punish you or tell you off or whatever. The sexy cop dominates! Handcuffs and a strip search may be necessary if the cop has a naughty prisoner. All rubber and shiny buckels this is a hard hitting and very in your face fantasy, those arrested by this sexy chic make no mistake.
Finally, the nurse bedroom costume make for one of the top three fantasy outfits. She can give you a sponge bath, take your temperature, put her stetascope on you or just examine you where ever you like. All aches and pains will be gone after a visit from nurse Suzy or Pattie! Doctor's orders. She done her duty and is off the register. Goodnight.
Escorting should be a relatively short career…most people cannot do it for that long but there are some who enjoy it enormously and so it is a major part of their lives. And this is ok. But for most, it is a stop gap, either while one is studying, starting a business or a platform for a different lifestyle that they envisage. Being a professional companion is a quick but not very easy way of making money. It is totally legal but there is still a sigma attached to the profession, people's imaginations can override them. Some people think its great to charge for your time, others are disgusted. Whatever the view, selling ones company is not breaking the law. As said, it is not an easy way to make money. One needs to have impeccable social skills, be open minded, not feign at the thought of new experiences and generally be mature enough to manage their own as well as other people's expectations. Adjusting to a clients' mental attitude and their environment isn't always easy, one needs to be able to act.
Looking to the future, one can make a nice living and save for that rainy day. Maybe finish doing that degree with a view for a more normal job or start a business. Some escorts start their own agencies further down the line, some maybe become even photographers or web designers. As they know the business and they may have gained these skills from previous studies, they can now apply them to escorting. It can be hard to save during escorting, especially as London rental prices are so high, but an effort must be made. Otherwise one may be stuck doing this for a lot longer than first anticipated. That isn't the plan for most. A plan is always needed. Maybe investment in property (getting a mortgage) is a good way to invest those hard earned GFE hours. There may be some trouble getting a mortgage as an escort, as some banks don't consider escorting a valid way of making money. So saying one is a model, masseuse, dancer etc are all alternative descriptions and related careers that can be connected to escorting. Looking after one's health and minimising stress during the escorting years will prevent burnout later in life. Some do work themselves and get totally overloaded with the amount of clients they see. This takes up too much energy and one can end up not taking care of themselves. A balance of concrete future plans and taking care of one's health will make for a better life ahead.
Escorts need to feel confident and beautiful. This will radiate out on how she interacts with the client. A lot of time should be spend on hair, makeup, clothes and grooming. Having fuzz in places where it shouldn't be seen may cause embarrassment later! So regularly making trips to the waxing salon, nail technician and tanning booth will preserve one's look and attention to detail is always noticed. Depending on the escorts' natural looks and how fast she can get ready for a date, it varies how long an escort can take to get ready before a date with a client, be it incall or outcall. If she needs more time she needs to factor this in when scheduling appointments. Some girls are available on a moments notice and some need a couple of hours. And everything does mostly depend on the rate the escort charges but not always. A cheaper rate escorts dosnt mean less of a service, rate is a personal preference.
Now, how to dress when going on an outcall to a hotel or private residence. One thing for sure…don't draw attention. Even if the client insists you arrive in 6inch heals and a silver backless dress, don't. Bring it with you. Dress casually, skirt below knees and possibly a blouse or nice top, with a nice jacket. Only wear heels you can walk very quickly or run in. In case there is an emergency and you need to leave, but not only that, you want to be able to walk into a hotel with confidence and in a brisk manner. Not tottering in heels and walking in sideways… this discomfort on your part can draw attention and you may fall over. These kinds of heels can be carried with you to the date and you can show your moves in the comfort of a hotel room. Your bag should be big enough to house any extra frivolities you need to carry and even a change of undergarments if you are doing an overnight. If you are on dinner date…scale it down as above. You don't want to be recognized as an escort, just a normal girl out on a date. The client won't appreciate strange looks either. When you walk into a hotel room, walk in as if you are going straight to your room and you are a guest. Walk quickly into the lobby and never go to reception…unless this has been previously arranged by you and the client. If you are particularly conscious about discreetness you can always wear sunglasses when entering a hotel. Above all. be confident. Incalls are easier, but you still need to dress to impress. Wearing a secretary – like outfit with beautiful lingerie underneath is a very attractive combination when greeting one at the door.
What about hair and makeup? A cross between natural and 'vamp' is the way to go, not too much but you don't want to look like you make no effort. Hair should be as you feel comfortable with, long hair is possibly best not tied up, it can look sexier if it flows naturally. Not starched up with hairspray or gels. Natural skin is always preferable; a lovely natural or unnatural all over tan can look great. Then there is no need to wear much makeup. Makeup should be matt and waterproof so it shouldn't leave any telltale marks. Jewellery – best not to wear any. It may scratch and get in the way. Nails – nicely manicured ones- the latest fashion may be talons with strips and gold tips but the client may not always appreciate the latest fashion statement! The escort girl will elude class, a touch of mysteriousness, sexiness and comfortableness.
Recently, medevial 15th centuary lingerie has been found made of linen and lace. Carbon dating placed a brassiere and men's undergarments back to this date. However, it was thought that the first bra was made in the 1900′s but apparently they were there in the 15th centuary.
Lingerie comes from the french word "linge" which means linen washables; undergarments were made of linen before the introduction of cotton from Egypt and India. In the 17th centuary bodies were totally exaggerated with high hip to low waist measurements. In the 19th century, lingerie was used for how it functioned in a practical sense, rather than it's sexiness. Corsets. by today's standards, were dangerous but the "look" was all that mattered back then. There were very very uncomfortable tight corsets and padded undergarments used to accentuate ladies womenly figures. In 1889 Herminie Cadolle cut the corset in two, for womens comfort, and this was the first "bra" which she termed "corselet gorge". She was a business woman who had a shop in Paris and employed many people. Soon the corset was out and the bra was in. During this era, Lady Duff-Gordon of Lucile popularized less restrictive corsets. Then in 1913 Mary Phelps Jacob patented the brazier design; women could now dress in comfort, no more clinching corsets. However, there was a lady before Mary Phelps who actually invented the first bra. The first bra was actually invented by Marie Tucek who received the patent for it in 1893. However, Mary Phelps was the one most widely used commercially.
Moving on in time to 1917, the first world war had a bit to do with the bras evolution. The U.S. War Industries Board asked ladies to stop buying corsets to free up metal (metal and whale bones were used to make corsets). This freed up enough metal for two battleships! When the first world war broke out, women found themselves filling men's roles and so practical undergarments were needed. In the 1960′s lingerie became glamorous, with inner wear now being seen outside. Then it advanced to seamless bras, t-shirt cut bras and wonder bras.
Good sexy lingerie is a highly desired item, women covet it and men adore it. Corsets, even though not used now as an everyday garment, are reserved for sexy moments. Apparently panties were not invented until late 19th centurary. It was considered unhealthy for a woman to wear anything underneath her petticoats! But that is room for another blog post…
Are you a saucy minx who wants to advertise your companionship services??
Can be tricky, there are quite a few directories out there. But basically the directories that come up often for keywords in Google are the ones to go for. Sites that list often and are advertised a lot can only give you the traffic you require. Sites that have a high number of page views per day are worth checking out. Some directories may not come up in Google for keywords but have a long standing reputation, are a known brand and have been around for a long time – so these will always be winners for advertisers. There are new directories coming out on the market every now and then, it is difficult to get established in this very saturated and competitive industry, so directories have to offer some kind of free listing, usually in return for a free banner listing on an agency or independents' site.
One very big market are the London Escorts directory sites. Because London is a huge metropolis, adult entertainers are very easily sought in the city as service providers. Independents and Agencies are all very popular and there is someone for everyone who is out there looking and offering. It is a business like any other and there is supply and demand. There are legal implications but an "escort" is termed a companion and does not offer illicit services, however graphically implied. There are some directories that show more explicit profiles and others that don't. Best to go for a classy directory (like selecthighclass.co.uk for example , - we try to keep profiles as respectable as possible, i.e not too pornographic, as this can turn some clients off if they see images that are too explicit. But each to their own. But most of the big directories out there are well designed, have a good many page views a day and attract a good clientelle.
Before advertising can begin, one needs very good photographs, whether it be an agency or independent escort. There are many well known and inexpensive photographic studios in London who offer very good deals. Most escorts do show their faces but for those that don't wish to, they can get the eyes blurred or cut the photo just below the cheekbones. Good lingerie and wearing a sexy evening dress for the photo shoot can give the right impression, showing all dosn't. Clients want the true GFE so want a very real girl. If the photos are too good to be true, the client may get a bit suspicious. Escorts charge different rates, depending on what they feel comfortable with. Astronomical prices may put some clients off, but a well reviewed service provider can command a higher rate and can usually get it. There are also some agencies that specialise in the elite market and they only cater for a higher band of donation. So there are many options out there for advertising, looking one's best will put one ahead of the game.
There are many reasons why someone may want to be controlled. One is that, in their everyday life, they may have a very demanding job, where they are in control of everything about the business they are in. Some men (and women) in high powered jobs want to let go, let their pains and ultimately pleasures be controlled by another. It is a way of relieving stress for some. The dominee wants to make the dominatrix happy. He wants what she wants. He wants to be her slave. A lot of it is about making the dominee wait. Bondage causes some individuals to be aroused. The risk and danger of being out of control turns one on. They may want someone else to now take control and tell them what to do. The domination thing is a ritual for being out of control.
Masochism is where one experiences pleasure, esp. sexual gratification, from one's own pain, suffering or humiliation. Sadism, its opposite, is where one derives pleasure, esp. sexual gratification, from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others. Most dominatrises are not sadists! They are play acting to enhance the pleasure of the masochist.
Pain nerves are dulled during arousal and so pain through bondage or whipping may not be so painful as would be to a person not aroused (one thinks). BDSM has extremes and ranges from fluffy pink handcuffs to a dark dungeon with a set of torture implements. with the pain/pleasure thing, different people feel sensations at different levels, like how they smell food. The pain receptors and tolerance levels can be different for different people.
But not everybody is like this and some would be repulsed by being dominated or humiliated. BDSM can be difficult for some to understand and can be even disturbing to watch. One may agree that being a sadist is sick but being a masochist is not, as being a masochist is not hurting anybody but one's self. But being a sadist is hurting others, with or without their consent to this play. But in the throes of BDSM, it is consensual. There is a lot of stuff out there on the Internet, some very mild, niche and hardcore. It is up to the individuals involved in this community to play it safe.
Hiring a professional dominatrix is a good way of experiencing BDSM, rather than springing it on your other half who may not have a clue what to do or be as agreeable. The professional will ensure you both enjoy the experience within limits. Whatever extreme experience desired it will be done in a controlled consensual environment with "safe words". Many escorts are professional dominatrises and provide this services, from mild to more dungeon like scenarios. This can include role play, foot fetishes and tie and tease.
There are extremes, as with everything, but a little bit of this fantasy, in acceptable doses and in a controlled environment, is not harmful and can spice up the bedroom.

A question frequently asked of escorts. Many clients don't want to travel alone, they may have periods in their schedules where they want to"play", not all is scheduled as work for these jet setters. Escorts can be booked to travel with clients and to go to exotic places on request. Of course, the fee can be quite challenging but worth it for the clients who need a companion to pass hours with. They may want someone to enjoy the nightlife of a city they are in and feel uncomfortable walking around by themselves. They may have meetings in the day and want to chill at night. Or they may have a varied schedule; some bookings will include a full one on one time with the escort. This can be great, trips to the seaside and lounging around on mediterranean yaughts. Some escort companions may provide a personal assistant service also, ie cater for the clients schedule and his business bookings.
Of course there is the risk with travelling, a certain familiarity with the client should be considered, especially if you are arriving at someone's home in a far off distant land! It goes without saying that the client will foot the bill to ensure his commitment to the booking. And then there is the expense of one's time travelling to and fro on planes that needs to be factored into the total cost. It can be exhausting to travel but can be rewarding financially. Of course, the escort companion, can just opt to travel locally or nationally, so keeping things simple. Travelling oversees should really be only considered with "established friends". Many girls are jetsetters and love the excitement of travelling to new countries and meeting new people. And some companions are available to travel to all the major cities of Europe. Some will stop as just being one of the hotel escorts, – this is as far as they will travel locally. And some only do incalls.
And then there are tours. This is where an escort will travel around the country or even the world to a schedule. She will be available for certain days or weeks in certain cities and then go onto the next area. Bookings for these escorts are usually taken in advance; as clients will want the opportunity to meet the girl who may not live locally to him. Adult rated porn stars also have travel schedules. Their fee reflects their popularity, looks and availability. Porn star escorts can be very popular for the niche market and some GFE escorts do offer this service. Some directories and agencies will have tour pages on them so they can cater for a more diverse geographical area and those wishing to see touring escorts.
Travelling with a client or to his place of residence, if not in your native country, can be a bit daunting. However, as long as a few safety and etiquette rules are observed before the booking, then there shouldn't be a problem. It is business after all.
And now it's upon us, well sort of a summer. No need for a coat today, now being the end of April and all. But there will be those out there with scarves and coats as opposed to those simmering up in the spring sun. Well, it wasn't that hot today, but getting there, amidst the odd summer breeze. And does all this rise in temperature affect our need for more intimate relations? Maybe. As one doesn't need to cover up because of the hot weather, one can be more attractive to the opposite sex. Because people show off more of the midriff, hair not in hats and many bronze legs showing, this all contributes to making one seem more attractive. And because the days are longer one dosn't have to stay in hibernation so much. And because of the bounteous weather everybody is around more people, more connections and so more opportunities. And then there is the beaches and swimming pools where the ladies wear the sexy bikinis. Lighter clothes makes us all fell more free and enhances ones curves and cleavage. Less attire, making all seem more attractive, one might say. Women's sense of smell is usually very good and in the summer the smells are carried more potently through the air, including the male pheromones.
In the winter people may not want to part with their pyjamas so easily and keep their socks on! But who knows, there is probably lovin' in all the seasons, just different in some ways. And here's hoping for a good (and amorous) British summer for 2013!
What to expect?
Its a business deal. A sugardaddie is usually an older man (but not necessarily so) who has gained success in his life through wealth and affluence. He may not have the time and energy to "search" for someone of equal success who is happy to be with him, just because. Usually hard to find two equal partners like this, and usually a wealthy woman may be older and this may not suit a sugardaddie who is looking for a "youthful companion". But all men are different. A sugardaddie may go with an older women. The sugardaddie is willing to share some of his wealth with a girl who will meets his desires sexually, and her wealth is usually of little consequence to him. This kind of relationship is ofden called an "arrangement". There may be no serious commitment on either part, one lives off the other, kind of. If he is a really wealthy sugardaddie he can really pick and choose and have a few "arrangements". Whatever the sugardaddie's desire, there will most likely be a sugar babie to match i.e in terms of look, age, coloring etc. She is his companion and most of these relationships have no strings attached. Either party knows what they are expected to give and take from the beginning.
What does the sugarbabbie give?
The feeling of youthfulness and fullness to what might be an older gentleman who desires these satisfactions in order to make him happy – he may find it hard to find a date through the traditional route. The sugarbabbie would help the sugardaddie with being a travel companion for him, his aid, and even a personal assistant in some cases. He wouldn't be short of a date with a sugarbabbie in his life.
Like escorting?
Similiar in some respects i.e there is exchange of money for time spent. But a sugardaddie/sugarbabbie relationship would incur a higher financial commitment from the sugardaddie as more of a long term thing and the sugarbabbie would be there for him, pretty much whenever he needed. There is usually not a lot of real love in these kind of relationships, but it can develop into that. Each party would have to be, at least, fond of each other and have some connection in order to keep this up. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to spend so much time with somebody you didn't really care for. In contrast, escorting is usually on an hourly basis and one dosn't have to really have any connection with the other. But each to their own.

A courtesan was originally described as a courtier who attended court. In feudal society marrying was most ofden done to preserve blood lines and keep political alliances, so spouses ofden looked for companionship else where. As the court was the centre of government, the verb "to court" meant to reside at court. It came to mean a woman of beauty, grace and education, a noble mans' mistress. But the word has changed along the centuries and today is a euphemism for the word high class escort. Copyright: wikipedia
A courtesan was a high class escort to the wealthy, a luxury companion. She could seduce a man with her mind and intelligence as well as her body. She knew the ways of love. She could be an entertainer in song, dance or be an accomplished actress. She would accompany her benefactor on social escapades and may have only a few patrons. By the mid 1800 century courtesans were generally accepted by society, but some members of the public didn't like them very much, while others had more liberal views. Some commanded a high stipend and were very wealthy. Copyright: history undressed
A word ofden conjours up many meaning and it is extremely difficult to define the word. One is "courtesan" – naughtiness, wealth, beauty, power, smartness, freedom, status and notoriety. On the blacker side a courtesan can be hated, instill jealousy and cause heartbreak. Courtesans were sought after for their beauty and their skills in the art of seduction. In Victorian and Georgian times, ie eras in which women werent usually educated, courtesans seemed to be and ofden spoke different languages and were courted for their art of conversation, influence as well as beauty. Courtesans could come from poor backgrounds or from wealth. She basically had the social skills to propel herself, whatever her misfortune or wealth. Even though formally excluded from "polite society", courtesans frequented the operatic events, the nobility and were even patronised by royalty. Although not openly received, they were patrons of the arts, fashion, language and music. They were well travelled and a "career" was usually four to ten years. Courtesans had what were called "arrangements" and could have one or many sugardaddies paying them a "salary." Being a courtesan was a privileged position to have; the best of both worlds, sexual freedom while cultivating their minds and social status without the constraints of a normal marriage. Suitors ofden paid large sums of money for an introduction and were expected to court the lady before any kind of intimate relations. Copyright: icqurimage

There are many books out there that can prepare or guide one in the escorting profession. Reading up on as many books as possible can only help, especially if you are new to the industry.
One such book is http://www.theinternetescortshandbook.com/escort-books/become-escort/ (part of a series written by an ex-escort) that give a real-life all round view of this adult profession. This series of books range from the emotional affect on you of entering this profession to the marketing strategy for your business.

One of the latest movies explores the reality of working as a call girl called "Blue". In the scene things go horribly wrong but it is funny! Apparently its a series. It gets waaaay too personal!
We all loved pretty woman, had an innocence to it, but it is rare thing where escorts and clients fall in love……but we can dream back to 1990
Some years before that was Half Moon Street (1986), where a beautiful PHd offers her services through an escort agency, and again it is a love story…this only seems to happen in the movies…
However, one of he most intrigueing and realistic escort movies is the french one "Nathalie", in which a wealthy married woman hires an escort to seduce her husband. They are having marital problems and she decides to "test" her husband to see if he would go with another woman if the opportunity arose that is. Pretty desperate, but anyway. Of course the wife dosn't tell the husband and the escort dosn't tell the husband. The wife and escort kind of develop a symbiotic relationship…kind of become friends. Does the husband take the bait??? Watch it and see. Dont let the subtitles put you off.
Its a funny old world, some people don't have the time or the palava associated with forming and keeping an intimate relationship. There is the whole dating thing to endure, and is always the "will she or won't she?". Then there is what women want. They don't want a man to leave them cold and dry when the intimacy is over. There are the good guys who don't want to break the girls heart and will look at other options. Some Gents have busy lives and a certain lifestyle they want to hold onto. They want to love and leave. Buying intimacy makes perfect sense to them. There are others, who above all costs, would never pay for it or admit it anyway. These ones probably get the more satisfying relationships, allbeit with a lot more effort. Nobody's wrong. Just different. And the male and female brain certainly thinks differently which adds to the chaos of it all.
"The Girlfriend Experience" is so far removed from the phrase "the oldest profession" that there is not much synergy between the two any more. Now, wining and dining is most ofden an integral part of a business arrangement or date made via an escort agency. Some would look away in disgust at the thought of you selling yourself, others, would envy you. And there are others who may outwardly show their distain but in secret want to be able to do it themselves. For the money. There are some models at escort agencies or that work independently, that are absolutely drop dead gorgeous (and with a price tag to match). In the real world, a Gent may never meet such a girl n a bar or have the opportunity to being intimate with her. He wants to experience this before he dies. If he has the money he can. A bit of heaven. He probably wants her every night, but where is the fun in that? He would be cheated of the chase. And probably get bored. Now, this is a totally different thing. Falling in love with a personality cannot be compared here. This is what money can't buy. It's like going into Tesco and buying a tin of beans, you go home cook them and they taste good. But how much richer would it be if someone cooked them for you? There is no emotion in the business of love. But who cares; one goes into this world knowing this and each has their own reasons for doing so, "your pleasure is my business" is apt here.
People working as Escorts and Agency owners have the instant fear after they receive a call. Will the client turn up?? and if a new Client, what is the risk? Will there be a robbery or an assault. Clients not turning up is standard in the industry and even though it happens in about a quarter of all calls, it is still extremely annoying and upsetting each and every time it happens. In other normal day to day jobs, this kind of stress isn't normally experienced. There is always the "what if?" in the escort business.
"Timewasters" is the term coined within the industry to describe "no-show" callers, ie those that call, make an appointment and don't call to cancel. There are genuine people whose plans change and they cannot make it, these are not included here, unless of course they are continually calling to cancel. "Timewasters" may just want to sex talk on the phone because they are lonely or have some deviant purpose, but they can be quite believable and sometimes one dosn't know if the caller is taking the p*ss and wants to make an appointment, or not. Maybe they don't mean to be misleading and do forget to cancel, but the consequence of an escort having to get ready or travel to see a client is big, a total waste of time, money and loss of other bookings. "Timewasters" ofden call different girls on directories and nobody knows because there is no communication system. Somtimes they call the same girls more than once, and, if the escort hasn't recorded the number the first time, they can be made a fool of the second time all over again. The same with Agency owners, as they rarely communicate numbers, the same person can just go about calling every agency and do the same thing to everybody. Escort agency owners and Independents do develop a sixed sense, and, if something sounds off and too good to be true, it probably is and they quickly put the phone down. But those that are new to the industry can be made a mockery of in the beginning. They just don't know. Most Clients who do call are genuine and good people but there are those that are not. And they can give a bad rep to ones genuinely trying to make an appointment. And sometimes we just don't know. If somebody sounds funny on the phone ie if they are nervous, don't have great english or genreally can't speak well, the Escort/Agency may assume they are not serious, put the phone down and lose the booking.
There are some resources out there that can help those that are frustrated by this never ending minefield. We wanted to share some solution for this and have included videos from http://escortbuddy.co.uk/ and http://time-wasters.org/. Escort Buddy has a database where you become a member and can enter a timewasters number and share with others. It also provides security, check out the details. http://time-wasters.org/ seems to be similiar. We havn't researched these sites in detail so don't exactly know what they offer, but they seem to be a good start if escort security is prying on your mind and the uncertainty of callers is something you want some help with. Not every "timewasters" number is on these databases but it might help in a small way.

And winter is here! The flakes are are here today – it had to be done – it wouldn't be our British winter without a few white fluffs!
Many a gentleman may want to pass his time in the company of one of the lovely winter escorts, especially if he is couped up in doors during these winter evenings. With transport not running in some parts of the country, one may be working from home and a visit from one of the London escorts will certainly keep one warm and toasty! If you are stuck at Heathrow for a few days, there are loads of escort agencies that can help you pass that time more quickly. If money is no object and you are going skiing to some far off land resort, why not bring a professional girlfriend with you, but she has to like the cold and maybe be able to ski? She can help entertain you at any social functions in the evenings and help the time go by in your cabin! There are independent escorts who advertise on the main directories, whom you can speak with direct to book a rendezvous. There is a large selection of professional companions out there, especially in London.
But how can one be sexy in winter…
Wearing a headscarf of faux fur teamed with a braziere and panties can look scintillating. Always throwing on a scarf, hat, mittens or snow boots with just lingerie and high heels on can have a captivating look (for the bedroom). Must keep your head and hands warm, the rest can wait! Sexy snow fur boots (faux fur of course!), teamed with an AgentP corset, stockings and suspenders can turn any man into dreamland. These skimpy little nothings don't add much warmth but teamed with a furry hat and scarf may crank up the steam before you get under the sheets. There are many winter fashion lines out there that are very sexy! There are looks that are wallet friendly for ladies of all shapes and sizes. Curve perfecting with a touch of silk and lace, push up, pull up and push in are all what the ladies need to hide that "i ate too much christmas pudding" from a few weeks ago!
Stocking up the boudoir attire with fancy laces and swathes of slinky underwears is a never ending job. There are always new hot looks out there, check out the season's latest lingerie ranges from the biggest names.
Looking into the new year… are some hot ideas for 2013…we thought this was one of the best lingerie fashion shows out there as it seems to have a mix of everything…

Posted: 03/07/2012
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The Wyandotte County Sheriff's Department is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of Robert Ingram.
Ingram, 23, facing jail time fled the courthouse last Friday, March 2, with a 7-month-old baby in his arms.
The car was found near the courthouse with the toddler inside, and returned to her mother before 5 p.m. March 2, but Ingram remains on the loose.
The judge said Ingram had not been complying with the terms of his probation, and learned he would be heading back to jail.
The judge told him to call someone to pick up the baby, when Ingram acted as if he was making a phone call when he ran from the courtroom.
He jumped into a waiting silver Pontiac Grand Am that had the passenger door open.
The car belongs to Ingram's mother, but she was not driving the car.
If anyone knows the whereabouts of Robert Ingram, call the Tips hotline, you may be eligible for a reward.

New Episcopal leader to be installed
The Rev. Hayashi has reputation for knowing his flock
SALT LAKE CITY — The Episcopal Church of Utah's 11th bishop — Canon Scott B. Hayashi — is a minister who will clearly get to know his church members.
That's what has impressed the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, the presiding bishop and primate of the 14 countries that make up the Episcopal Church, about the new Utah religious leader.
"I think the Diocese of Utah has chosen a wonderful priest," she said in an interview Friday afternoon. "I look forward to great things."
The Rev. Hayashi will be consecrated as the 11th bishop in a special service, today at 11 a.m., in the Grand America ballroom, 555 S. Main.
The service will begin with a procession of banners, bishops from around the country, Native Americans and clergy from multiple faiths. The Most Rev. Schori will be the chief consecrator as the Rev. Hayashi becomes bishop of Utah.
The 10th bishop of Utah, the Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish, is retiring and will turn over her ceremonial "crozier" (a staff resembling a shepherd's crook) to the new bishop as part of the traditional ritualistic service.
The public is welcome at the service and doors open for seating at 9:30 a.m.
A live webcast of the consecration service will also be available at: episcopal-ut.org.
Seating of the new bishop will be Sunday, Nov. 7, 10:30 a.m. at the Cathedral Church of St. Mark, 231 E. 100 South.
Last spring, on the eve of Pentecost, nearly 200 clergy and layperson delegates from Episcopal parishes across Utah gathered together and elected the Rev. Hayashi, 56, as the new leader for their diocese.
He received the majority votes — 73 of 128 votes cast in the lay order and 20 of 38 votes cast in the clergy order.
He was formerly the canon to the Ordinary in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago.
"I'm both excited and humbled by it," the Rev. Hayashi said of his position. "I'll be praying long and hard."
He said he'd like to be known as a person who values religion and has a clear voice during his service as bishop.
He also said he plans on doing his best to partner with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the area's predominant religion, particularly in reaching out to and assisting the poor.
"The LDS Church has been in my opinion a force for good," the Rev. Hayashi told the Deseret News.
The Most Rev. Schori also stressed she is excited to be involved in a transition of leadership here, where the previous bishop has done such excellent work.
She expects that dealing with the great diversity in the diocese's ethnic population will be one of the Rev. Hayashi's biggest challenges.
Her main advice for him: "Love these people," she said.
The Rev. Hayashi said his church members can expect him to be present and involved as they move forward and seek out the mission of God.
He told the Deseret News last spring that he had never considered or desired the bishop's role and applied only after a friend and fellow priest from Utah persuaded him to allow his name to be placed in consideration.
The Rev. Hayashi is no stranger to Utah, but is lesser-known outside Ogden, where he served as rector of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church from 1989-1998, creating a program for inner-city youths that continues today.
He said he loves the people and the state of Utah.
After serving in Ogden, he became rector of Christ Church in the suburban communities of Portola Valley and Woodside, in the Episcopal Diocese of California, where he served until called to the Diocese of Chicago in 2005.
He was born Dec. 8, 1953 in Tacoma, Wash., and received a bachelor of social work degree from the University of Washington in 1977. He holds a master of divinity degree from Harvard University's Divinity School (1981); and a Certificate of Theology from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California (1984).
He's been married more than 29 years to Amy Perlman O'Donnell and the couple has three adult daughters.

As the summer draws to a close, it's time to finish our trilogy of Italian frozen desserts. We have already explored the delights of gelatoand sorbetto, and now it's time to finish our trilogy with a post on granita, a kind of country cousin to the first two. Most commonly made with coffee or lemon juice, granita is a kind of rustic sorbetto, easy to make at home—no ice cream maker is needed—and has a coarser, more crystalline texture.
First, find yourself a flat-bottomed container that can go into the freezer. Most traditional recipes call for using an ice cube tray—but that was back in the days when ice cube trays were all made of stainless steel with removable dividers. Nowadays, a metal loaf pan will do the trick.
Now make some very strong espresso coffee. If you are using an espresso machine, you can simply brew your coffee directly into the loaf pan, like so:
Make a few shots, at least one per person. Then mix in simple sugar syrup (see my post on sorbetto for step-by-step instructions) to taste—I usually just add a bit at a time, tasting until I reach the desired degree of sweetness. Personally, I like my granita (as I like my coffee) semi-sweet, but you will need at least some sugar syrup, not just for taste but also because it produces a smoother, softer texture than plain coffee, which would simply turn to dark colored ice if frozen by itself. Let the coffee and syrup mixture cool completely, then place it in the freezer.
After about 30-45 minutes, check on the granita. Depending on how much you are making, there may be little or no change the first time you check, but if you see bits of frozen crust forming, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula. Check in about 30 minutes later, by which time it is likely that things will have developed. Time to stir again:
Continue stirring the mixture every 30 minutes or so, until the granita has formed a kind of 'slush'. You want the mixture to be fairly soft but not liquid. It will have a granular texture—that is not a defect but, as mentioned above, a desired characteristic that sets granita apart from sorbetto. Total freezing time will depend on how much you are making and the size of the container; the deeper the liquid, the longer it will take for it to freeze. Count on about 1-1/2 to 2 hours if you are making more than one or two servings.
Serve as is or—if you are feeling indulgent—with a nice dollop of whipped cream as pictured above. Granita can be served as a dessert, but I particularly like it as a sweet 'snack' in the afternoon. The Sicilians—who are renowned for their granite—even have it for breakfast!
Granita di limone, or lemon granita, is made exactly the same way, substituting freshly squeezed lemon juice for the espresso coffee. Although, in Rome at least, coffee and lemon are the most commonly found types of granita, there are other kinds. In Catania, for example, the favorite granita is made from almonds. Granita can also be made from fruit juice, typically orange, or puréed fruit such as strawberry or melon.
Obviously, the success of your granita di caffè will depend on the quality of your coffee. A nice strong, freshly ground espresso coffee will make it a real treat. I am a particular fan of Pete's Coffee, a brand out of the Bay Area, but, of course, the imported Italian espresso coffees, in particular Caffè Illy, are particularly suited. Just make sure that you use the darker, "southern style" roast. And brew your espresso very strong—ristretto as they say in Italian—remembering that you will dilute the coffee a bit when you add your sugar syrup. A good granita di caffè should have an intense coffee flavor. If you don't have an espresso maker, no worries: you can, of course, use a simple 'moka' coffee pot. [NB: Look out soon for my upcoming post on making espresso and cappuccino at home…]
While gelato, sorbetto and granita are by far the most common Italian frozen desserts, they are not the only ones. In Rome it is a common sight in summer to find stands selling grattachecca, shaved iced topped with different flavored syrups. And then there are the fancy desserts like the various semifreddi, frozen moulds that make for a wonderful ending to an elegant dinner. (We'll get to those in good time but, in the meanwhile, you won't want for good eating with these three in your repertoire.)
By the way, if you are ever in Rome, you can have yourself some wonderful granita di caffè in a pleasant al fresco setting at the Café du Parc, at the end of via Marmorata, in the piazza Porta San Paolo, opposite the Piramide Cestia. Across the via Marmorata you will find the neighborhood of Testaccio, with one of the best food markets in Rome in its main square, not to mention some of the most authentic traditional Roman trattorie in town. In the center of town, the Tazza d'Oro, right by the Pantheon, also serves an excellent granita alongside their wonderful espresso and cappuccino.

I have never understood all this business about raking up the leaves. Honestly!
One of the best sounds in the whole world is the crunch of beautiful, crispy leaves underfoot and the gentle rustling we hear when a futile attempt to kick a trail right through the middle of them is made.
And the smell! The burnt, dry, sweet smell of fallen autumn brings back memories of those hundreds of leaf piles of my midwest yesteryear. Oh, what great times those were - sisters and Panda, the dog, and football games and popcorn and wool varsity jackets. And to tie all of this fall goodness up neatly into a black garbage bag? No thank you!
No, here at our house the leaves stay and faithfully provide hours of entertainment and those glorious sounds and smells to this next generation of leaf jumpers.
Jump away, kiddos!

Review from Angelo V.
Dusseldorf, Germany
We receive always advertising material from Jacques and for this reason we decided to visite their store in Dusseldorf in the centre of the city. It was a big mistake. Even if the wine offer was interesting and good wines present, the service was really bad. We were ignored from the staff. We realised that they were alway serving people older than us. Maybe they thougt that we do not have enough money to spend for the wine. Well we decide to bring our money to other offer (Hawesko) and never come back to Jacques
