Escort "dates"?

[axebahia]

I have noticed a number of escorts starting to refer to encounters as "dates". Escorts do you do that? If so why, or why not? Clients, how do you feel about an escort describing an encounter as a date?

RE: Escort

 

As a client I would use the term date for a longer meeting (such as an overnight). I think that calling an hour quicky with someone a date is kind of silly. I would use the term "meeting" or "appointment" for a short session with an escort. Since these latter terms do not convey anything sexual or romantic, I can see the allure of calling appointments "dates."

Ah, semantics! To those of us sensitive to connotations, "date" suggests a romantic encounter between equally interested parties, rather than a business transaction, which is surely what happens between a client and an escort, no matter how much we may want to sugarcoat it. I usually use "appointment", "session" or (if it is appropriate) "scene".

I don't refer to my clients as "johns" nor do I refer to our time together as a date.

Because it's street hooker lingo and it sounds tacky.

"Date" is now street hooker lingo?? I must really be out of touch.

"Date", as in, "Hey baby, wanna date me?". I've heard that in more than one COPS episode. Actually, it's gone mainstream and has been used by actors portraying prostitutes in TV shows and movies.

 

Although, the street hooker I picked up last year asked me if I wanted to "party".

I've often wondered, with the many guys out there who like to "show off" or have sex in public (there's even a whole website devoted to this at cruisingforsex.com), whether escorts sometimes get asked to participate in their adventures.

Amazing how words can twist panties into a bunch. Wish they could remove as easily wrinkles from freshly laundered shirts. :+

RE: Escort

 

I sometimes refer to it as a date if it involves our going out somewhere together -- to dinner or a show, that kind of thing. Whether on- or off-duty, I tend to think of the date as the "public" part of the encounter -- the "context" surrounding whatever happened in the bedroom or hotel room. I've had flings that took place almost entirely in the bedroom, and I don't tend to look back and call that "dating." I think of it as a date if we go out and/or I get fed something besides live meat. :+

Dating, or having a date has been a euphamism for getting laid for at least the past 60 years. It actually was a euphamism for paid sex before it slipped into general usage paid or not. I have heard the line "euphamistically date me, now" or a varient a number of times in movies.

RE: Escort dates

 

The english language is nothing if not fluid and ever-changing. The word "date" itself, used to refer to a social (possibly romantic) meeting is certainly idiomatic, coming from the awaited "date" on the calender. Nowadays of course, what most gayfolk refer to as a "date" is what used to be called a "one night stand". Whether one is using that definition, or that of "date" refering to a paid encounter, the irony is there, and irony is a classic hallmark of gay culture.

Then again, escorts may use the word "date" because on paid encounters they must be mushy and overly sweet. Not to mention the fact that having too many dates in a short period causes one to have the runs real bad.

They can call it "launching the Titanic" for all I care. I just want to have a good time.

If they're going to call it "The Launching of the Titanic", I suppose we should ceremoniously break a bottle of Viagra over the prow.

Just thought as a client I'd throw in my two cents. I like the term date for an appointment, mainly because most of the other terms take away from the experience a little bit, at least for me. It's analogous to seeing a movie, and someone's cell phone rings and briefly takes you out of the movie and back to reality. It's not really something unexpected...you know you're watching a movie and not really inside it...but it still interrupts the continuity and immersive quality of the experience. I just feel terms like "dates" help preserve that continuity a bit. Just my opinion.
