    Except for a few locations, escorting is illegal because it is synonymous with prostitution. I don't think there is much of a market for non-sex excorts.

    Wow, I guess things have quited down on Pink...three answers and they are all from men...

    First of all, escorting is not illegal anywhere. Exchanging sex for money is against the law in most of the US but, assumptions aside, calling yourself an escort, advertising as one and booking appointments as one is not against the law. That being said, you are kidding yourself if you think that the vast majority of your customers will not expect sex. That's your call of course.
    Unless you set up shop in an area where prostitution is legal you will also be subject to scrutiny by the law. This will most likely still happen weather you engage in illegal activities or not.

    As far as any licensing goes that would be a question best asked by the folks in your area that issue business licenses. Unless you want to register as a prostitute and work in Nevada I don't think it will be necessary.

    Perhaps some of the ladies could chime in here with some advice. My experience is fairly one sided...

    Good luck and be careful.

    Technically true, but rare (to the point of non-existent) is the escort who is not a prostitute. To me, differentiating between escort and prostitute is like differentiating between dancer and stripper. They are synonymous but one is just a nicer term.

    BEM, in this case, the technicality is what the OP is asking about. Your opinion is your opinion but stating that escorting is illegal is simply not true.

    ^^ damn straight. When it comes to the letter of the law you'd better damn well believe there's a difference between working as an escort (a legal profession) and working as a prostitute (a mostly illegal one).

    I know that some cities require that escort services have a license (and there you go, bem, they don't hand out licenses for work that by definition breaks the law), but I haven't ever heard anything about licenses for independent escorts. I bet it's pretty easy to find out the rules for your area; just call the local tax collector or business licensing office and ask.

    She asked about licensing and stated she wasn't going to do anything illegal, which means, unless she is in a couple of specific locations, she won't be having sex for money. Fine. So if all she does is keep men company, she wouldn't be in violation of the law. I just have a hard time believing there is much demand for that type of service, but I'm willing to admit that is conjecture on my part. The agencies that are licensed claim no knowledge of what 2 people agree to once they meet. That's how they skirt the vice laws.

    I heard that escorts themselves, have to be licensed in Atlanta ???

    eta: If you're in AZ, namely Maricopa County, that Sheriff Joe is a beast. Just putting that out there, I've heard horror stories about him, and his appetite for prosecuting escorts/clients.

    BEM, for the third time, we all get it that prostitution is against the law in most places. Escorting is not. It's really not any more complicated than that for the purposes of the OP's question.

    My point was that I have a hard time believing there is demand for escorts not having sex most or all of the time.

    There is a market for non sex escorts, they're not as in demand as prostitutes but there's definitely a place for them. I can't tell you what you need in Arizona though, sorry, I really don't know. In Vegas, I had a business license and that seemed to be enough since I was caught up in a bust and after running a few checks the police just apologized and sent me on my way.

    If you're a no sex escort be aware that you will be listed as a ROB (rip off bitch) on every escort review site for your area. It probably won't hurt your business though because those guys are only looking for sex anyways.

    Just don't call yourself a GFE or girlfriend experience. I've seen way too many hookers on TV claiming to be escorts and saying that just means they act like a girlfriend going out on dates. Bull honky, in the escort world GFE means you let the guy eat your pussy, make out with him, and usually suck dick without a condom. Besides, GFE guys are usually total weirdo, nasty creepouts anyways.

    Good luck!

    Well, fine, but that is a totally different conversation with nothing to do with the topic at hand. Do you have any knowledge of escort licensing requirements in your area that you can contribute?

    Escorting and anything other than streetcorner solicitation is not illegal here, but to the best of my knowledge there are no licensing requirements, though I assume its possible the larger agencies need some sort of business license.

    I've been thinking about doing this myself lately...

    What I'm actually thinking about is about making a "job" out of being "arm candy"... Frankly, it seems to me that there ARE some guys out there that would want/need that arm candy. Chances are they're workaholics and have no time to build a girlfriend relationship, or perhaps they're gay or recovering from a bad marriage and have no DESIRE for a girlfriend. But depending on the profession, they may NEED that "girlfriend", or perhaps they just want some hot young thing to be arm candy when they go to that social event next month that their ex-wife will be at.

    It seems to me that there COULD be a market for this sort of thing. You know, he takes you out and shows you off as his "girlfriend". He gets a beautiful, intelligent, friendly woman as his date, without actually having to invest the time and energy needed to actually FIND a date. It does seem to me, though, that it would take a certain kind of woman to pull this off. You'd have to be friendly and outgoing, share some "backstory" with the client prior to arriving at the event, be a witty conversationalist, good at "reading" people, self-confident (because that ex-wife will do everything in her power to beat you to a blood pulp), intelligent, well-read, mannerly, etc. In other words, you need to be fully capable of "fitting in" in high society.

    It would seem to me that the hardest part of that would be in finding your first few clients. Once you're seen with the first few clients, it would be easier to find new business because you would've proven yourself with your first few.

    You could charge extra to your clients if they wanted you to appear "exclusively" with them in a city, too... For example, if Joe Smith takes me to the Cattleman's Ball here in Amarillo, he could pay me $3,000 a month to be on his "retainer"--basically promising that I won't appear with any other client in Amarillo. I could still take clients in Dallas or Oklahoma City, but as long as he's paying me his "retainer", I can't appear with another client in Amarillo.

    This could actually work out really well... How to get those first few clients, though?

    Think on this for a moment... If I worked once a month with Joe Smith in Amarillo (who's a gay attorney working for an ultra-conservative redneck law firm and needs a "girlfriend" to appear with him for local and communit events), then I would charge $1,000 per appearance PLUS outfits, shoes, and jewelry for that appearance. (There are stores around here where you can be "on file" with the store and they maintain your sizes, favorite things, favorite colors, etc. That way if someone comes in to shop for you, the store clerks can show him what to buy.) That way I'm not out $300+ for an evening gown (and I get new clothes!). That's working 1 night a month for around $4,000 (event cost + retainer).

    Then I could go down to Dallas twice a month to make appearances with some 70-year-old executive who is kind of forced into doing these charity galas and country club stuff with his ex-wife, and just wants to kind of rub it in his ex'es face that he has this beautiful woman that's so much better than his ex. Since I'm not exclusive with him, I get no retainer, but an extra $2,000 a month.

    Damn, I need to look into this!

    But again, where to find that first client?

    I can contact all my exes at once by drawing a pentacle on the floor, sacrificing a ram, and shouting "Hail Satan". Convenience is a must.

    If you are interested in non-sexual escorting, there are a few ways to get into it.

    One way is to post on sugar daddy sites. That is by far the most reliable way to get those types of gigs, and also, it can be very long term. State your limitations up front.

    On craigslist- advertise as arm candy. Pick up gigs doing "caddy" work at golf courses. Be the girl in a bikini sitting by the captain when he takes his buddies out on the boat. Craigslist is full of that stuff.

    Then, if you are a fetishist and are comfortable, you can advertise in your local "scene" paper/clubs as either a Domme or sub escort to functions or out in public. I do that quite often. Most of the time I go out with a client to a party/club that doesn't allow in single men. I stand next to him and he gets in. I hang with him that night. Simple.

    Hope that helps!
