Who can be an escort?
If we approach
the question ‘who can be an escort?’ from legal point of view than it has to be
said that every female, male, shemale, ladyboy, transgender (TS, TV), Domina person who
is over 18 can be an escort, but only in the countries where the local
legislation allows it. Regardless of the fact that escorts are not prostitutes,
the law regulating prostitution unfortunately treats them as prostitutes. If we
take Sweden as a model, according to the 1999 Swedish model, the above persons,
that is, escorts can legally take employment in the sex industry.
The legal point
of view to approach the issue is only one side. There is another side of the
profession, in our case, the approach from professional point of view, since it
is not only the law that has to be corresponded, but also the profession itself
has requirements. Employees have to be competent in carrying out escort service,
just like in any other profession, because the client always requires being
well-serviced by the escort during the time he paid.
The escort trade
is not just about having a date with a client, and something will happen, if it
will at all, but something more and this is effective communication. To be able
to render a meaningful and enjoyable communication experience for the client,
an escort is supposed to have high intelligence. Furthermore, an escort has to
travel to a destination country where the escort industry operates legally, and
then she has to arrange an accommodation where she is going to live during her
terminus, has to get used to the local customs and get the hang of living in
the foreign country and finally she has to advertise herself to find customers.
Well, here there are a lot of individual competencies and neatness needed.
The entry into
the escort profession is an open door for every prospective sex worker. There
is virtually no official / unofficial authority that would control the trade
and decide who can become an escort on the basis of personal qualities and
competencies. This is one of the reasons why the quality of escorts has
declined over the last decades or over the centuries, as those sex employees
could get into the trade who are partly or completely inadequate for the
profession.
Moreover, if we
want to see who escorts are and who can be an escort in more complexity, then I
have to say that anyone can be an escort. And this must be understood in the
strict sense. It is primarily the criminal organizations in relation with human
traffickers that is responsible for filling all the small segments of the sex
market. This is how young girls and poor, vulnerable women are forced to get in
the escort trade.
