There are stereotypes for everything and everyone, and VIP escort models are not an exception. Like every other stereotype, the one that concerns escorts is misleading, and most of the times plain false. This article discuses the stigma around this job, around escorts in general, and some of the elements that have a play in this.

The VIP Escort Models Stereotype

People love to put tags on everything, and some of the tags that people put on VIP escort models are:

• Immoral
• Shallow
• Not very smart/knowledgeable
• Dirty

Obviously, all of these are just opinions, and do not have any connection to reality. Many people consider themselves to be religious, and therefore consider this job – and anything from this field – to be sinful, and immoral. Religion plays a big role when it comes to how people perceive intimacy, relationships with others or with their own body, and everything related to sex life.

Another important element is the way men have viewed, and some still view, women. Historically, women were viewed as less intelligent, and less inclined towards things that require any kind of intellectual effort. Because of this, any job that has predominant female workers is viewed as less important, less interesting, and so on. There are many more elements that affect the way people see this industry, but these two have a very big impact.

Why Do Some Women Choose This?

Most people live under the impression that every woman working in this industry was compelled to do so. Why is that? Well, the answer lays yet again in the two elements already mentioned. Throughout history, women were able to gain financial independence, and a better social status, through jobs from this field. This was the domain in which women were allowed to participate in, and decided to make the best out of it.

Nowadays, some women like the autonomy that this kind of job offers them. The life of an escort model will – most of the times – be extravagant, and adventurous. It is a job with the help of which you get the chance to travel, and met many different people. Especially for VIP escort models, the clients are usually wealthy men, business owners, celebrities, etc.

This job offers freedom, compared to the traditional work schedule; and it can be highly paid. Compared to traditional jobs, the escort occupation offers them flexibility to study, or pursue any other interest or responsibility. Another factor that some women might take into consideration is the networking opportunity.

Empowering and Understanding: Listening to Them

It’s very important for people to try and listen even to the people they don’t think they can understand. The story of every person working in this industry is different, and their reasons for joining it will also differ. Documenting and educating yourself on a certain topic can make you realize how unrealistic stereotypes actually are.

The double standards that society holds women to, is shattered when women decide to use their sexuality in their favor. Different data and studies show us that people tend to dehumanize this job. And, this is exactly why it’s so vital to hear each other’s stories, and to document yourself on all the topics that come your way. Everything that’s in the sex work field is changing the traditional dynamic, giving some women more confidence, or the feeling that they have their power back.

What Are Escort Models? And Which Are Their Characteristics?

Basically, escort models combine escorting with modelling. They accompany you and blend seamlessly no matter the social event. What they offer is ‘companionship’ when you need to attend pretentious or professional social gatherings. But, what are some of the boxes that they check?

• Beauty – They meet the beauty standards, eat healthy and go to the gym.
• Etiquette – They go by the customary code of polite behavior.
• General culture – You can discuss any topic with them, therefore there will never be any kind of awkward silence.
• Charisma

Their discretion and professionalism are two other things that are valued a lot. High-profile people (politicians, celebrities, etc.) that need a companion for whatever type of event or reason, need someone that can attract attention, but not too much; and be attentive and discreet. An escort can do all of this effortlessly, and get a big weight off your back. This is also why many men purchase this type of service; because it can organically increase their social status.

Some Famous Escorts in History and Media

Knowing examples, and understand that this occupation is not something new, helps debunk the stigma around the subject. The escort job has always been a fuse between appearance, power, luxury, and charisma. But, what are some famous escort models?

• Phryne – A courtesan from the times of Ancient Greece. She was a muse for sculptors, and was highly renowned for her power to allure men.
• Veronica Franco – A woman from 16^th century Italy, who was a courtesan and a poetess. Veronica was an intellectual, and she was engaging with gentlemen in all kinds of discussions.
• Cora Pearl – Cora was a courtesan in 19^th century French. She was one of the most popular and wanted women while she was alive.
• Holy Golightly – The main character from the “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” movie is also viewed as an escort because she seeks the company of wealthy men to provide for her.
• Samantha Jones – The icon from “Sex and the City” is never explicitly described as an escort/courtesan, but she’s often seen entering relationships where power, money and sex are involved.

Conclusion

VIP escort models are, and probably will always be, a big part of the luxurious companionships industry. Understanding that stereotypes exist, but also why they are wrong and toxic, are both crucial steps. The most valuable lesson that can be taken from this article, is the fact that body autonomy is a right. Everyone can do anything they want with their body. And, exactly because of this, if you are in need of a companion that embodies beauty and brains, you know what you need to do!
