When faced with the term ‘call girls’, many people make assumptions based on folklore, but in reality the work of a call girl often involves so much more than sex. As a professional sex worker, a call girl provides companionship, emotional support and a listening ear for people from all walks of life. She often caters to some of the country’s most powerful and discreet citizens, from politicians to business people, and this requires an understanding of the difficult demands of both her profession and its clientele.
While some subcategories of sex workers are regulated around the world, the majority of call girls remain an unregulated population. They are often seen as workers living and operating in the shadows of society, beyond the authority of the laws and regulations set up to regulate the other, more “traditional” working women. Despite these implications, the truth is that call girls work in a variety of environments, and there is definitely more that meets the eye than just prostitution and escorting services.
To better understand the basics of call girls, it helps first to have a better understanding of what working as a call girl entails. There are different types of call girls, but to simplify things, the most common form of call girls are independent operators. Independent operators are self-employed, meaning they are not affiliated with any escort agency or legal entity. They are typically contacted through websites, classifieds, or even clubs and bars. A call girl works with clients to provide companionship, physical intimacy, and companionship for a pre-agreed rate.
Responsible call girls will often require clients to submit mental health information, drug use information, a valid ID, and any other information that may be necessary to verify their identity. They may also ask for references or testimonies from previous clients to assure their safety, comfort, and discretion. This process of taking on clients is based on the screening procedure to ensure the safety of the call girl and her clients.
Although there are risks associated with being a call girl, the rewards ultimately outweigh the risks as long as safety and discretion are maintained. For most, this job has provided an opportunity to make a living while engaging in activities that many people enjoy, such as traveling, listening to music, going to dinner and shows, experiencing diverse cultures, and just simply enjoying the company of others. For some, it is an opportunity to break away from a job that may not hold the same level of satisfaction, as well as a chance to challenge yourself in a new space with unique rewards.
Having a supportive community of friends, family, and other call girls is vital to the continued success of a call girl. Usually, these call girls will collectively protest or create a system of safety protocols that further protect them against potential dangers. This can range from making sure that other call girls are familiar with each other, to making sure other call girls are aware of what clients they offer services for.
While these safety protocols are important, there are a variety of other factors to consider when looking at the life of a call girl. Professionals may face discrimination from both clients and society at large, depending on where they live. Along with this, many individuals in the industry are stigmatized for their work, and need to find ways to protect their identities in order to keep their job and their personal life separate.
There is also the myth of the ‘happy hooker’ or the ‘free-living call girl’. While some call girls may certainly enjoy their lives, simply because they do not choose to look too deeply into the realities of the profession does not discount the fact that the profession does indeed come with a set of risks and responsibilities. As with any job, being a call girl can be financially and emotionally draining at times. That is why understanding the profession sees far more successful and satisfactory service from the call girls.
Ultimately, it is important to remember that call girls come from all walks of life and industries. They are not necessarily associated with only the lowest economic levels of society. Furthermore, they provide a valuable service – companionship for a fee. Despite their wide range of backgrounds, inexorable dedication to service, and their rewarding and satisfying work, the stigma surrounding call girls continues to this day.
