What Is The Difference Between A Prostitute And An Adult Escort? from Joseph Rawls's blog

The Sex Industry Is Not Just One Thing; It Is Made Up Of Different Professional Roles That People Can Play, Although We Are All One Community.

The Difference Is That Prostitution Is A General Label That Society Assigns To Virtually Everyone In The One-On-One Sex Industry, And Escorting Is A Particular Area. They Are Not Really Comparable. You Can Find A Simple Flowchart That Breaks Down The Sections Here.

Victims Of Sex Trafficking Are Also Called Prostitutes But Are Not Classified As Consensual Sex Workers. This Is The Consensus Part That I Will Cover Here.

If You Want To Know The Difference Between An Escort And A Prostitute, You Have To Break Your Assumptions. Plus, You're Still Paying For Her Time, Not For Sexual Acts. More Information Has Been Given Here.

Having Worked As An Escort And In A Brothel, I Will Use Those Two To Explain. Society Would Call Me A Prostitute If I Did Either Job. However, As You Can See, Brothel Work And Escort Work Are Not The Same Things.

Work In The Brothel - Increased Focus On Sex In Private

• Men Usually Come To Have Sex Or Relax And Then Go Somewhere.
• Time Has A Standard Expectation Of Sex When You Want It.
• Less Commitment Is Exempt Unless Requested
• One Could Say That Street Work Puts A Similar Or Stronger Emphasis On Expectations And Time Constraints.

Escort Work: More Attention To Companionship And Outings

• Men Come Often And Want Company On An Outing. Dinner, Event Or Party, A Weekend Somewhere.
• As Freelancers, They Can Tailor The Business To The Client. I Know A Lady Who Makes Her Customers' Favorite Wine, So Have A Drink Before You Go.
• Time Has A Difference In Society's Expectations Whether Sex Takes Place Or Not.

If You Want To Go Deeper We Can Quickly Look At The Other Sections, Although I Don't Have That Much Experience In Those Areas, That's My General Understanding Of The Industry.

Working Like A Sugar Baby: Friends, Dating Through Funding

This Is Not A Fixed-Term, Sex-Inclusive Situation. Someone Who Financially Helps Someone Who Is Not. In Return, The Financier Could Just Have Company, Could Be Platonic For A Real Relationship, Or Anything In Between.

Work As A Porn Star - Actor/Actress In Adult Films

The Easiest Way To Explain. Julia Roberts Played A Sex Worker, Which Made Her Not An Actress, But An Actress. Pornstars Play The Role Of Someone In A Sexual Situation. It's Not Always For Fun, But To Make A Film About Fun.

Stripper Work - Sexual/Sensual Exotic Dance

It's About The Dance. The Teasing, The Temptation, The Look But Not The Touch. There Can Be Routines To Learn, Work With The Song; It Can Be Thematic, Especially Working On Stage.

Some Are More Alike Than Others, But They Are All Equally Relevant To The Sex Industry.
