Escort Terms: A Plain-English A to Z of Profile Abbreviations
On escort profiles, escort terms are the shorthand, things like incall, GFE or OWO, that show how each lady works and what she may be willing to do. Here each one gets a brief, plain definition.
Escort terms are the abbreviations and short phrases on escort profiles that tell you where a lady sees clients, which style of booking she likes and what she is willing to include. Most are initials: DFK for deep French kissing, GFE for girlfriend experience, OWO for oral without. Here are the escort terms you will come across most, sorted by category, each with a simple one-line definition.
One point before the list. These terms describe what a lady prefers, not what she promises. We charge for time and companionship; anything more is private between consenting adults, and she may decline anything at any moment. If you are unsure about a term, check with the concierge before booking, not once the booking has started.
Reading the terms on a profile
Each profile on our escorts listing shows what services that lady offers, and every service has a page listing all the ladies who offer it. You can see them all on our list of services. When a term needs more than one sentence, it has its own guide, linked from the tables below.
A few services are listed twice, labelled “giving” or “receiving”. The label refers to her role, so “spanking (giving)” means she is the one spanking.

What the terms leave out
A list of services is only where things begin. It cannot show how a lady feels on the day, and it is never binding. Anything intimate is her decision at the time, and courtesy matters more than any abbreviation. Our page on etiquette with escorts explains the unspoken rules.
It is also wise to book through an agency that knows its escorts. We have met every lady on our site face to face and compared her photos with her, which is what verified escorts ought to mean. UK law makes paying for sexual services an offence where the person was subjected to deception, threats or force, even if you did not know; our page on whether escorting is legal in the UK covers the rest.
New to all of this? Begin with what an escort actually is, check which ladies are free today, or contact the concierge through the booking page.
Where to next
Questions
They are short forms for where a lady sees clients, the booking style she likes and what she may be open to. GFE is girlfriend experience, OWO is oral without a condom and DFK is deep French kissing. The tables above explain the others.
No. A profile shows preferences, not promises. We charge for time and companionship, and she may say no to anything, listed or not, if she does not feel comfortable on the day.
They refer to her role. 'Spanking (giving)' means she is the one spanking, and 'rimming (receiving)' means she is the one receiving.
GFE, or girlfriend experience, is warm and unhurried, much like a date. PSE, or porn star experience, is more energetic and adventurous. Some ladies offer both and go with the mood of the booking.
Yes, and asking in advance is best. Phone or WhatsApp the concierge, say which lady you mean and what you want to check. We will ask her and get back to you, normally within 15 minutes.
