Escort terms A to Z of profile abbreviations

Why profiles use abbreviations

Escort terms are shorthand used on profiles to describe a lady's interests and style, and most of them take only a moment to learn. They grew up on old message boards where people wanted to say a lot in a few letters, and they stuck. If you have ever stared at a profile and wondered what on earth DFK means, you are in the right place.

One thing before the list. These terms describe what a lady says she enjoys. They are not a menu and they are not a contract. Rates are for her time and companionship, and each lady decides what she is comfortable with on the day. She can say no at any time, whatever her profile says.

A to D

69: a position where two partners give each other oral sex at the same time. It has its own guide on this site.

A-Level: anal sex. Sometimes called Greek in older listings. See our guide to the A-Level meaning.

B2B: body to body, a massage where the masseuse uses her body as well as her hands.

BDSM: bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. A group of consensual adult interests built on agreed power and sensation.

CIF: ejaculation on the face.

CIM: ejaculation in the mouth.

COB: ejaculation on the body.

Couples: a booking where two partners meet a lady together.

Deep throat: oral sex in which the penis goes far into the mouth, which many people find uncomfortable, so it always needs clear agreement.

DFK: deep French kissing, meaning open mouth kissing with tongues.

Dinner date: time together over a meal, usually the start of a relaxed evening.

DP: double penetration, meaning penetration in two places at once, by two partners or with a toy.

Duo: a booking with two ladies at the same time. You can see the pairings on our duo escorts page, with rates from £400.

F to M

FFM: a threesome with two women and one man.

FK: French kissing, generally lighter than DFK.

Erotic massage: a sensual massage intended to relax rather than to treat an injury.

Fetish: a strong interest in one specific thing, such as feet, latex or heels.

Foot worship: admiring and attending to a partner's feet.

GFE: girlfriend experience, a booking style that feels like a relaxed and affectionate date.

Incall: you visit the lady at her place. Rates start from £200.

MILF: a slang term for an attractive mature woman.

MMF: a threesome with two men and one woman.

N to P

Nuru: a Japanese style of massage using a smooth, slippery gel.

OWO: oral without a condom. The phrase is common, but it carries health risks worth knowing about, and our OWO guide covers them.

Outcall: the lady comes to you, usually at your home or hotel. Rates start from £250.

Overnight: a long booking that runs through the night, and it tends to involve dinner, conversation and a late breakfast as much as anything else.

PSE: porn star experience, a booking style modelled loosely on adult films, generally more energetic and less like a date than GFE.

Prostate massage: massage of the prostate gland, usually through the rectum.

R to W

Rimming: oral stimulation of the anus. Profiles often distinguish giving from receiving, so read which one is listed.

Role play: taking on agreed characters, always as adults.

Submissive or sub: a person who enjoys willingly giving up control.

Spanking: agreed impact on the buttocks, usually by hand.

Striptease: undressing as a playful performance.

Swallow: swallowing ejaculate after oral sex.

Tantric: a slow, breath focused style of massage or intimacy, loosely inspired by the Indian tradition of Tantra.

WS: watersports, meaning play involving urination. Giving means she does the urinating, and that is the version you will usually see listed.

You will find almost all of these listed on our services page, and clicking through will show you which ladies mention them on their profiles.

Using these terms well

Do not treat a profile like a checklist to be read back to someone. A lady who enjoys something on one occasion may not feel like it on another, and she may set her own conditions, such as insisting on a condom. Assume that if something is not on her profile, it is not something she does, and do not try to talk anyone round.

It also pays to think about your own health. Several activities on this list can pass on infections, including those involving oral contact. Condoms and dental dams lower the risk, though they do not remove it altogether. If you are sexually active with new partners, regular check ups at an NHS sexual health service are free and confidential, and a doctor can answer any specific questions.

When you are ready to book, keep things simple. Call us with her name and a time. We check she is free, confirm the price and arrange the rest. There is no need to discuss any of these terms on the phone, and it is better to speak with her directly, politely and in your own words when you meet. Top end bookings can reach £750, and the rate depends on the lady and how long you book.
