Presentation is a huge part of this industry so having a great outfit when introducing yourself can be a game changer! While the guidelines are different for outcalls or social dates, here are a few things to consider when meeting clients in an establishment.

House Rules

If you have only worked with one establishment, the difference between their rules and other places may surprise you! Some brothels have strict rules on presentation like ‘no flat shoes,’ or ‘lingerie only.’ Harlots typically sits at the more flexible end of the spectrum but if you are unfamiliar with the house rules, it’s always a good idea to ask!

Something That Suits You

While a neon pink bodysuit may look absolutely gorgeous on my girlfriend, the colour clashes with my complexion and I sort of end up looking like a gumball. Your complexion, hair colour, height and body shape will likely make some outfits less than ideal for you specifically. However, there will also be styles that only you can pull off! You should also consider the kind of outfit that suits your service the most; BDSM & Dominatrices will look the part in latex and leather while the cute GFE sweethearts will probably suit mini skirts and floral bralettes.

Practical Considerations

Now that you have picked out some outfits that comply with the house rules and suit your style perfectly, there are just a handful of things to think about before calling it a day.

1. Can you get changed into and out of this quickly? Lace-ups and latex can look stunning but unless they have a sneaky zipper they may be too finicky and time-consuming to be practical.
2. Is it easy to wash? Especially if you are planning on travelling while you work, access to a dry cleaner may not be possible so having low-maintenance outfits can be handy.
3. Do you feel sexy in it? The confidence boost a great outfit gives you can be more important than the outfit itself! You should feel confident and sexy in whatever you choose to wear.

Whether you choose to wear lingerie, mini skirts or fetishwear, there is something for everyone! Take some time to explore the style options available to you and keep in mind the practicality of working in these outfits. With a little trial and error (and maybe a girlfriend to bounce ideas off) you can find an assortment of outfits that make you look and feel incredible!

Sometimes the perfect picture just happens, but when you are trying to get a decent shot, posing seems awkward and uncomfortable. Here are a few pointers to help you polish up your photography game.

Hands

Where your hands are in a photo can be the difference between ‘effortlessly beautiful’ and ‘awkward robot-dance.’ Give your hands something natural to do. They won’t all work for all poses but here are some ideas:

• Playing with/adjusting lingerie, socks, long sleeves
• Scrunched in the bedsheets 
• Twirling/fixing your hair
• Run your finger tips over your body
• Hold a toy or prop
• Holding your dress/skirt

Feet

Just like hands, feet can make an image feel awkward or clumsy. The single biggest tip I can give you is to point your toes like a ballerina. Having your foot flexed (the opposite of pointed) disrupts the line of your leg and doesn’t look as well-composed. If you are struggling with what to do with your legs and feet, here are some ideas:

• A leg stepped up onto the edge of a bed, chair or bathtub (or someone’s back if you’re a domme)
• Legs up out of a bathtub
• One foot forward with a long, slitted skirt
• One or both legs in the air while you’re on the bed
• Crossed (but with your knees straighter than normal) in a chair or on a desk

Hips & Back

There are very few scenarios in which arching your back is a bad idea. Arching your back (a.k.a. sticking your butt out or tilting your hips/pelvis downward) helps create smooth lines from your head down to your hips and down your legs. It is particularly effective for adding shape and curve in positions like doggy or any photo angled from behind. For more front-on angles, pushing your hips to the side (usually accompanied by the ‘lower’ side foot taking a small step forward) can emphasise the shape of your figure.

There are plenty of detailed guides on posing for photos, including for boudoir/erotic photography specifically. You can also take inspiration from existing profiles. If I had to pick my top three tips to give adult industry advertisers, it would be these: keep your hands busy, toes pointed, and back arched.

Happy snapping!

To find the right adult services for your stay in Canberra, it’s important to understand what these terms mean.

Sex Workers, Escorts & Babes; Oh My!

There are countless terms for intimate companions; sex workers, service providers, adult entertainers, escorts and babes just to name a few! The term ‘escort’ is a popular choice and when browsing Harlots, it refers to all service providers we work with. Where things can get confusing is when ‘escort’ is also used for what we call an ‘outcall.’

Your Place Or Mine?

When seeking out some erotic relief, you will have to make a decision; where will the booking take place? An ‘incall’ is where the client makes a trip to the home, hotel or establishment of the desired babe. This is often the more budget-friendly approach since your service provider won’t be charging you for travel costs.

On the flip side, an ‘outcall’ is where you get to kick back and relax while we bring the fun to you! At Harlots, we provide outcalls to homes and hotels across the ACT and surrounding regions. Outcalls are a great choice for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. For example, maybe your evening has already seen a few rounds of beers which means you can’t drive. Other people choose to stay home because of limited mobility, they’ve flown in for business and don’t have a car here or simply because they prefer to get dirty in the comfort of their own home.

Not everyone offers outcalls but you can find out on each of their profiles. Some establishments, individuals or advertising platforms will use ‘escorts’ to refer to all people offering erotic services and some will use ‘escort’ as a synonym for ‘outcall.’ To keep things clear, we will always confirm who does and doesn’t offer outcalls when you enquire. If you have any questions about who is available for a particular service, all you have to do is ask!

The pretty innocence of her round face drives me wild. The way she holds herself; proud of all she is and all she has to offer makes me weak. My fingers ache for the chance to caress every curve in her figure. I want to worship her, honour her, give myself over to her. I live for the way her plush & freckled bosom jiggles when she throws her head back in laughter… 

Hidden beneath her business attire, her ample body is still on my mind. I can hear the nylon stockings around her thighs brushing against each other as she walks. It’s like whispered dirty talk without her even having to say a word. When she bends, her black skirt gets hiked up to cling to the contour of her hips offering a peak of her thick thighs. I crave the feeling of those thighs beneath my fingertips and I think back to how they tense and shiver when my tongue is between them. I can feel myself blushing at the memory. The slit in her skirt yawns open when she takes a seat and I catch a glimpse of the silver clip of her garters. Those nylon stockings have cheeky lacy tops to them and I’m sure they match what’s beneath her outfit. 

She lifts her hand from the desk and I follow the sparkle of the ring sitting snugly against her finger as she reaches her for hair. Those bright eyes meet mine with a knowing look and her plump lips blow me a kiss. I know she knows what I’m thinking and I am helpless to her flirting, but god knows I’ll make sure the wait is worth it when we get home.

When she turns away I can see one of her pet peeves; those pesky blouse buttons refusing to lay flat. That winking gap in her pinstripe top confirms my suspicions of a sexy bra with lacy details to match her stockings. My mind spins with the thought of how we will spend the evening.

She meets me outside the office for the walk home and she takes my hand in hers.

“Don’t think I didn’t notice you looking,” she whispers.

“Good,” I tell her, “then you know what’s been on my mind all day.”

Those thick thighs I love so much seem to give a preemptive tremble as she giggles. I can’t wait to be alone with her again.

If you choose to offer outcalls to clients homes or hotel rooms or social dates like dinner or coffee, you will need to choose suitable outfits for going out. There are plenty of factors that play a part in finding the perfect outfit for outcalls. Here are the top 3.

The Weather

While wet T-shirts are a classic suggestive look, the rain can turn a sophisticated look into a sopping mess if you aren’t prepared. Consider investing in a stylish splashproof jacket or a mini umbrella if you are working in wet weather. Conversely, in hot weather, choose lighter clothing so you can keep cool and avoid sweating through your dress. 

The Destination

A sparkly cocktail dress may suit the glitz and glam of high-class hotels but for home visits, something less glamorous is less likely to catch the eye of snooping neighbours. If you are meeting the client for an activity before heading to the bedroom, then make sure your outfit is appropriate for whatever it is you have planned. No matter where you are headed, swapping the stilettos for something like pumps or kitten heels is a safer choice.

Your Service

While fetishwear is no longer practical, there are still plenty of ways to subtly hint at what’s in store! For dominatrices, there are plenty of black leather (or fake leather) jackets that match the kinky vibes of fetishwear. If your service is based more on companionship and connection than freaky sex, then consider a blend of casual & sexy.

Offering outcalls and social dates with clients can boost your earning potential and expand your skill set. Choosing a practical outfit goes a long way to setting up a seamless outcall experience. If in doubt, you can ask fellow escorts or staff at your establishment for their input. The perfect outfit will work with the weather, the destination and your plans for the bookings, plus make you look and feel fabulous!

Photo shoots don’t have to break the bank! While a professional shoot can be a great investment, it can be pricey especially if you are just starting out. Here are some tips for getting quality photos alone.

Equipment

Having a quality camera, tripod and lighting set-up would be ideal but they aren’t compulsory in order to achieve quality images! Any new-ish smartphone has a camera capable of good-quality images. Where possible opt for the back camera, they are better in quality and don’t distort images as much.

For a tripod, I have had success using chairs, windowsills, countertops, a carefully arranged tower of books and even holding my phone between my feet while I’m on my back! Solo photos are tricky but get creative if you are after a specific angle!

For lighting, sometimes natural lighting by a big window is perfect (but be considerate of the neighbour’s view). If you need other lighting, standard ceiling lights can work but lamps give you more control over brightness and position. Coloured lights like LED strips or lava lamps can create unique colour themes that might help make your photos stand out!

Timing

The next issue to tackle is how to take the photo when you are in position. Here are some solutions:

• The inbuilt timer button (usually a choice of 5 or 10 second countdown)
• Headphones (the ones with cords); you can click the volume button to take a photo
• Commercial products designed exactly for this problem

But by far my favourite method is to set my phone to video, go pose and then come back to take screenshots of the video. It works like a champ!

Whether you are just getting started in the industry or looking to update your gallery, doing it solo is definitely possible! Give it a shot and see what works for you.

Sex and songs complement each other; so many songs are written about sex and a good playlist can boost your night between the sheets to a whole new level! With a mix of genres, eras and artists, feel free to take some inspiration from my sex playlist favourites!

If you’ve ever had oral so mindblowing you find yourself saying “Oh, god” (or had the pleasure of hearing your partner say that), then Pray by Ryan Vasquez is for you. Vasquez is primarily a Broadway and live production artist but his first single is a sexually-charged work of art. Pray came out in 2018 but is so far the only original from Vasquez.

It starts with an upbeat verse sung by a man getting ready for the day while distracted by last night’s memories. The chorus is where things ramp up though, with descriptions of the mutual enjoyment of giving oral to his partner. The vocals range from a rich baritone to a shiver-inducing falsetto.

The lyrics play on religious themes with tantalising sexual imagery to really drive home the sense of heavenly pleasure. The song builds in intensity up to the second chorus and the beginning of the bridge. Here, it dissolves into a soft, gentle reprise before bursting back into the sexual intensity of the chorus. If you want to play along at home, that sequence could be the chance to catch your breath before the grand finale or the perfect moment of breathless bliss between back-to-back O’s.

There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ when it comes to what songs should be in your sex playlist. What really matters is how it makes you feel; sexy, confident, seductive or just straight-up horny! If you are interested in trying out a few songs with someone, check out the babes available here!

In between the boudoir photos and sexy selfies are a whole heap of terms unique to the sex industry. While everyone knows what “girl friend” means, “Girl Friend Experience” may not be so straightforward.

Extras (things outside of standard service) are often grouped together in “Experiences.” These are themed bundles that can help you make the most of your time together! “Girl Friend Experience” is one such label.

Girl Friend Experiences, or GFEs, tend to be more intimate and sensual with a focus on mutual pleasure and connection. Just like how no two people are alike, no two GFEs are identical either. Some escorts like to focus on physical fun in their GFE and might include kissing, oral on them or titty play. Others choose to set the mood with things like cuddling up for a movie before getting naughty or roleplay scenarios and costumes. There are plenty of things that might make an appearance in someone’s GFE. Kissing, body kissing, cuddling, mutual oral, spanking and roleplay just to name a few! But there are no specific requirements for what has to be in a GFE, so everyone gets to offer the things they do best!

When it comes to pricing GFEs, some escorts charge a flat rate for all bookings up to an hour long. Others adjust their prices depending on how long you would like to spend together. If you’re booking more than an hour, it’s best to chat in–person about the total cost of your extras. If you are booking more than one escort, you can have a chat with both about their GFEs. Most escorts list individual extras on their profiles and if you see something you like that’s not in their GFE there is no harm in asking! Not everyone’s GFEs are flexible and can be changed, but you won’t know unless you ask!

Girl Friend Experiences are one of many ways you can choose to spice up your time together. There’s never any pressure to spend on extras; standard service may be enough to satisfy your cravings and your pleasure is our priority no matter what your budget is. You can check out some examples of Girl Friend Experiences here.

While most people don’t care about the meaning of colours, red is so strongly tied to the sex industry that it’s nearly impossible to avoid! From the general sex appeal of red lipstick to the high-class seduction of red-bottom heels, the colour red is tangled up in our presentation. Whole streets or suburbs are called “red light districts” if they are known to be popular locations for brothels or sex workers. But why is the colour red so powerful?

Blushing Babes

Whether you’re at the gym or burning calories in a much more fun way, our bodies react by blushing pink. The association between physical activity and a warm glow is hardwired into our brains. 

Blood rushes to the skin upon contact too, which can be quite suggestive… Like the handprints made when spanking or being spanked.

Attention

The colour red is eye-catching, like berries hidden amongst the green jungle. Being able to spot particular colours might have been helpful in finding food or identifying possible danger. Today it’s used in stop signs and traffic lights; it certainly makes a statement!

Subtle and Not-So-Subtle Advertising

Across the world, sex work has been the subject of centuries of debate. At times, engaging in sex work was taboo or downright illegal which forced the industry into hiding. So, the use of literal red lights allowed for discreet advertising for where people could find sex workers. While those lights first appeared in Europe, the practice is now used across the world. 

Since then, mainstream media has expanded the meaning to include all sorts of intimacy. For example, Valentine’s Day is usually celebrated with red roses and hearts. High-class brands have incorporated the colour into their signature looks to appeal to sexual desires like the bottoms of designer heels.

While actual red lights aren’t so common anymore, the term red-light district remains an iconic part of sex history. Today the colour is broadly linked to all sorts of things, from designer heels to lipstick stains. There aren’t any rules about what colours mean but it’s interesting to see just how much of our society is impacted by colour!

While most of us agree that what happens in incognito tabs should never be spoken of again, there are some interesting statistics about the adult content we choose to watch when the lights go down. From trending search terms to patterns in when people were choosing to spend some alone time, it’s fascinating to see people’s behaviours displayed in terms of online activity.

Mouth-watering MILFs

According to Pornhubs 2023 Year In Review, we are craving a little bit of Stacey’s Mom, with MILF and Mature categories jumping into popularity. Globally, “MILF” held second place, ahead of “lesbian” but behind “hentai.” Other honourable mentions for having aged like fine wine include DILF, GILF and Daddy.

Big & Beautiful

Bigger may not be better but it was certainly more popular last year! Not only were terms like “big” and “huge” searched for more frequently, but the categories “Big Ass” and “Big Dick” saw an average watch time of more than 14 mins each, which is four minutes longer than the average amount of time spent on the site!

iHot

The single greatest increase was “android” and usually coupled with “cosplay,” “robot” and “roleplay.” It saw a 1689% increase in search frequency which was just above the 1541% increase for “NPC.”

International Intimacy

On a global level, America is the leading consumer of adult content online with Australia coming in 13th. The average time spent on the site grew to 10 minutes and 9 seconds. Australia, however, comes in below that average at 9 minutes and 31 seconds. Surprisingly, the day of the week that saw the most action was Monday, and the least was Saturday. Not only were women spending an average of 9 seconds longer online, but 1% more of the total viewers this year were women, making up 36% of all visitors. Australian men still hold the majority share; of total Aussie viewers, 31% were female and 69% male (nice).

Lots of things contribute to trends in adult content consumption and it’s interesting to think about how they vary between countries. Bedroom preferences are something uniquely personal but it’s also a universal part of sexuality. Even though we keep our online activity private, we have a lot more in common than we realise!
