With Halloween less than a week away, it’s time to get cracking on a hot costume. It can be tough to decide just what to dress up as, but I’ve got you covered. I’ve curated a list of the hottest Halloween costumes.

Masked & Mysterious 

This is for fans of low-effort and low-budget costumes. All you need is a spooky mask, black pants, black boots, and body confidence (t-shirts are optional). You can spend the night ominously lurking in the background while you flex your muscles. And, if you are shy, it’s a great excuse not to talk much or just respond in short sentences. So, get your mask on and start showing off your hot body!

Slutty (Insert Job Title Here)

From slutty nurses to slutty tradies, this is one of the most versatile and fun costumes. All you need is some sort of uniform, and you’re ready to go. Pair it with a set of fishnet stockings and some heels for the hottest look. And don’t forget to leave a few extra buttons open on your shirt. Also, think of fun ways you can include the tools of the trade in your costume and night out. For example, if you’re dressed up as a slutty nurse, fill up some syringes with alcohol to use as shots throughout the night!

Vampires

Another classic costume is a vampire, but to make this outfit shine, I recommend ditching the cape and picking up some black eyeliner. A dark and smudged eyeliner is the perfect addition to any vampiric look. So grab some fangs, wear your hottest black or dark coloured outfit and become a creature of the night.

Angels & Devils

Are you a saint or a sinner? Well, on Halloween, you get to pick. All you need is a set of wings and either a halo or some horns. For an angelic outfit, wear white or soft pastels and keep your make-up light and sparkly. For the devilish, red and black are your colours for the night and dark, sharp make-up will add a wicked edge to your costume. Don’t forget to play up your costume throughout the night, especially if you can be the devil whispering in someone’s ear.

Sexy Animals

Our last suggestion was made famous by Legally Blonde, but you don’t have to be a bunny. Any cute animal will do, just find a pair of animal ears and maybe a tail to match. For the truly confident, you can wear lingerie or a bodysuit with tights and heels. Otherwise, matching animal print will do. Then spend the rest of the night running wild on the town.


You can purchase a range of costumes from specialty costume stores like CostumeBox. For sexier versions, try websites like Lovehoney. If you want to be thrilled and tantalised this Halloween, come on down to Harlots Canberra for our annual Halloween party on October 31st and November 1st. You can check out the gorgeous escorts we will have available here.

Looking for some recommendations for your next ‘Netflix & chill’ date? I’ve found the most successful movie selection is one that has you curled up next to each other seeking comfort. So I have come up with my top three hottest scary movies for you to enjoy.

Sinners

Sinners only came out this year and has just been added to HBO Max. It’s a fantastic vampire flick with a hot cast to match. You’ll follow twin brothers ‘Smoke’ and ‘Stack’, played by the ever-handsome Michael B. Jordan, as they return to their hometown for a fresh start. However, a dark and supernatural evil has come to town and threatens to destroy everything. It starts off pretty slow, introducing all the main characters and how their pasts intertwine before getting into the thrilling action after dark. A perfect mix of jumps scares, thrilling action and spicy sex scenes.

Jennifer’s Body

This cult classic is fun, freaky and a bit gory. It explores the complex relationship between best friends, especially when you add demonic rituals and possession to the mix. The movie follows Jennifer, played by Megan Fox, who begins on a murderous and cannibalistic killing spree after the mysterious events of a rock concert she attended with her bookwormish best friend Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried. When Needy finds out what Jennifer has been up to, she must find a way to stop her. Jennifer’s Body is one of my favourite comedy horrors and is definitely worth watching. You can stream it on Stan.

Scream

Scream is a classic slasher flick, mixing your favourite slasher deaths with a satirical sense of humour. You will follow Sidney Prescott, who is still dealing with her mother’s murder, as her small town is thrown into chaos by a serial killer wearing a ghost mask. The whole movie is sprinkled with jokes and nods to classic horror and slasher movie tropes. It is such a fun film to watch, and with 5 sequels, one more on the way, and a TV series in the franchise, it’s perfect for a movie marathon. You can stream Scream on Stan.


I hope you enjoy my scary movie recommendations! If you are looking for a partner for some ‘Netflix & chill’, you can see all the gorgeous escorts available this week here.

Are you a gamer looking to spice up your sex life? Well, we have done some digging and worked out which video games are the best to play when your partner tries to distract you. There’s nothing worse than almost defeating a tough enemy only to lose concentration as your partner moves their mouth or hands in that way that makes your toes curl. So here are Harlots’s hot game recommendations

First-Person Shooters

Our first recommendation is first-person shooters like Call of Duty & Halo. The campaigns for these games aren’t usually very challenging, so it’s not a huge problem if you get a little distracted, but they are pretty violent, which may kill the mood. If you are an exhibitionist, you may enjoy playing in online multiplayer and hiding your pleasure. Just make sure you have your mic set to push-to-talk so you don’t scar an unsuspecting stranger.

Metroidvanias

Next up are Metroidvanias. Metroidvanias are action-adventure games that are non-linear and require you to obtain certain tools or abilities to unlock new areas or overcome obstacles. The term Metroidvania comes from two games that use these core ideas, Metroid and Castlevania. My preferred metroidvania is Hollow Knight. These games are usually more challenging than a first-person shooter, so require more concentration during certain puzzles or challenging fights but when just traversing the world, you can just sit back, relax and let yourself enjoy what your partner is doing to you.

Roguelites

If you are worried about the consequences of dying in your video game, then roguelites might work for you. Roguelites are RPGs that are often dungeon crawls, where you collect benefits on each run. When you die, these benefits can be used to permanently upgrade your abilities or items. This way, if you get too distracted in the throes of passion, you won’t completely destroy your progress. My personal favourites are Hades and Hades II, which are both fun and have hot character art. 

Simulations

Lastly, for our cozy gamers, I’d recommend simulation games. Farming sims are usually pretty relaxed, and if you get distracted, you’ll only lose a day in-game and maybe a small amount of resources. My favourite farming sims are Stardew Valley and Coral Island. Otherwise, you could try a dating sim to get you in the mood. These are usually point-and-click adventures, or if not, have very few time-sensitive tasks, so if you lose yourself to your partner’s machinations, it’s not going to ruin your dating chances. A big bonus of dating sims is also the hot artwork that will definitely help set the mood. My top two dating sims are Date Everything and Dream Daddy


Most of the games I’ve discussed can be found on Steam or on the PlayStation and Xbox stores. If you would like to test your concentration, come on down to Harlots Canberra and check out our Game Zone!

Let’s Talk Erectile Dysfunction

Today I’m tackling a tough topic: erectile dysfunction. ED can be hard (pun intended) to talk about; it’s a deeply personal issue and can feel very embarrassing. But let me ease your worries, while not normal ED is surprisingly common, and there are heaps of methods to help treat it.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction, aka ED or impotence, is the inability to get or keep an erection. It can affect up to 50% of men aged 40 to 70. Now the occasional failure to get an erection is normal and often related to alcohol, anxiety, tiredness or a combination of all three. However, if you are having ongoing issues, then that’s not normal, and you need to have a chat with your doctor. 

Causes Of Erectile Dysfunction

There are lots of different factors that can cause ED. Anxiety or depression used to be considered the main cause, but is in fact only the main cause in 1 of 10 cases. Most cases of ED are physical or anatomical, with ED being a symptom of another problem. Some examples of main causes are illnesses such as diabetes, MS, or high blood pressure. It can also be a side effect of surgery, like a radiation treatment or a prostatectomy, or a side effect of medications. Another leading cause is your lifestyle, like smoking, alcohol and obesity. So what are some treatments for ED?

Counselling & Therapy

While only the main cause in 1 of 10 cases, anxiety, depression and stress can seriously impact your ability to maintain an erection. Counselling and therapy can be a great way to combat these issues and may also help with your ED. 

Vacuum Erection Devices

Vacuum erection devices or penis pumps are a drug-free way of treating ED. They help by increasing the blood flow to the penis and can help create an erection that works well enough for penetration. However, they tend not to be as effective as medications.

Medications

While medications can be the cause of ED, some medications can also be the treatment. If medication is the cause, you can discuss changing your prescription with your doctor. However, there are a few prescription medications that can help improve the blood flow to the penis, famously the little blue pill. These medications won’t cause erections, but will help boost any erections you get. However, these medications can have their own side effects like facial flushing, headaches and sometimes muscle pain and reflux. There are also now versions of this medication that can be compounded into lozenges, which tend to be more effective. As always with medications, have a discussion with your doctor about what’s right for you.

Injections

For those men who can’t take oral medications, there are injections available. They can be a bit daunting as you inject them straight into the penis, but the needle is very small and most users find it surprisingly painless, a 1.1/10 on the pain scale. This injection takes about 5 minutes to kick in, forces an erection even if you aren’t aroused, and you’ll be hard for about 45 minutes. This medication is serious stuff, so you definitely need medical guidance before use.


I hope this helps you tackle ED and have those tough conversations with your doctor. For more information on erectile dysfunction, you can read more here. Or if you’d like to try out some of these techniques, you can see all the gorgeous escorts we have available here!

Worried you are coming too early? Then Harlots is here to help with some useful tips, tricks and resources.

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is when you can’t control when you ejaculate, and come before you are ready. Things like chemical imbalances in the brain, overstimulation, and performance anxiety can cause premature ejaculation. 

So how do you fix it? The first step is seeking help from a medical practitioner, like your general practitioner. If you don’t have a GP or aren’t comfortable discussing this with your doctor, I would recommend checking out Mens Health Downunder. They work all around Australia, helping men with sensitive health problems.

Below you will find some examples of the main techniques or options to help with premature ejaculation.

Breathing Techniques

The number one piece of advice is don’t hold your breath. This will just make your body tense and more reactive. Instead, try slow controlled breathing and slow stimulation to avoid overstimulating yourself. You could even try some meditation exercises to help with any performance or general anxieties. 

Numbing Creams

You would need to speak with a professional, but another helpful technique is using numbing sprays or creams. When applied in advance, they can help prolong ejaculation by reducing sensation. Obviously, the big issue with this is the reduced sensation and how that can also reduce your enjoyment. There are lots of numbing creams and sprays available on the market, so definitely talk to your doctor before purchasing any to ensure it’s safe to use and the right option for you.

Medication

Lastly, there is prescription medication. While there isn’t anything on the market that directly helps with premature ejaculation, there are a few medications, like some antidepressants, that have the classic side effect of prolonging ejaculation, and some of them are even short-acting acting so you only need to take them as needed. However, as these are prescription medications, you will need to discuss with your doctor what is right for you. 


I hope that after reading this, you’ve found some useful advice and feel confident in asking your GP for help if you need it.

When you think of a dungeon master, you probably think of a strong man or woman clad in leather ordering you to your knees. But for me, dungeon masters are very different. I think of one of my friends sitting at the head of a large table, weaving a fantastical world for me to explore in a game of Dungeons & Dragons. So, let’s have a look at the similarities between BDSM and D&D.

Roleplay

Whether you’re playing Dungeons & Dragons with your friends or playing out your hottest fantasies with your mistress, you are probably engaging in some roleplaying. Roleplay can be intimidating if you’ve never done it before, but my top tips are ‘fake it till you make it’ and ‘keep it simple’. A good mistress or master (like a good D&D group) won’t judge you if your acting is a bit stiff or not fully realistic. The most important thing is that you (and your partner or players) are enjoying yourself.

Leather

Not all mistresses and masters wear leather, but it’s a classic look for a reason. Often, they won’t wear a full leather outfit but will accessorise with leather collars or cuffs or even toys. D&D groups are much the same. At a regular gaming session, you might not wear a full leather ranger’s outfit, but accessories are definitely encouraged. And if you and your friends decide to go to a medieval festival or a Renaissance fair, then a full leather outfit would fit right in. 

Dice

In Dungeons & Dragons, you use dice to decide almost everything. Whether you can see a hidden treasure or how much damage you do to a foe is all decided by the roll of a die. There’s even a huge market for custom dice to match you or your character’s aesthetic. Meanwhile, in the bedroom, you can use sex dice to decide your next move. There are a few different kinds, some with just fun positions to try or others that work in pairs, one for the action and the other for the body part. These dice can be more funny than erotic at times, but are a great way to add some humour to the bedroom. You can buy some at online retailers like Lovehoney.


Dungeon master or pleasure mistress, both are guaranteed to lead to an evening of fun and adventure. You can learn more about D&D here and check out the BDSM escorts available here

Dating in the 21st century can be stressful and exhausting. There are so many dating apps available, and each one is slightly different. So I’m here to explain how four of the apps work (and don’t work).


Tinder

You’ve probably heard of Tinder; it’s been around since 2012 and introduced us all to the concept of swiping right. On this app, you build your profile and then start swiping through your prospects, right for yes and left for no. If both people swipe right on each other’s profile, a match is made, and you can start chatting. Most profiles on Tinder are slim on the details and tend to showcase a person’s best physical assets. So, I’ve found Tinder to be better suited for casual hookups than long-term connections.

Bumble

Bumble launched in 2014 with a similar concept to Tinder. You still swipe right for yes and left for no, but when you match with someone, the woman has to message first. Non-binary folk can opt to be the one messaging first or not & for same-sex matches, either person can reach out. If you don’t reach out within 24 hours, the match is lost. Bumble is definitely more focused towards building connections versus hook-ups, but the 24-hour timer can be a buzz-kill for someone forgetful and busy (like me).

Hinge

The app ‘designed to be deleted,’ Hinge was made for finding long-term connections. Instead of only viewing matches when you both like each other, you get to see any person who likes your profile straight away. However, you can only have 8 people waiting for you to reply at a time. So, you need to keep the conversation going or drop people if you aren’t vibing. I find Hinge to be my personal favourite of all the apps; it definitely feels less like doom-scrolling for matches when you can see that someone has liked you. 

Feeld

Feeld, formerly known as 3nder, is perfect for people into ethical non-monogamy, polyamory and kink. It has a designated section for listing your kinks and relationship preferences, making it easier to match with like-minded people. This app is great for finding just the right hook-up or person to explore your kinks with.


Now that you know a bit more about the apps, you can jump right in and start dating. But don’t worry if you’re still feeling overwhelmed, the stunning escorts at Harlots are always here to put you at ease and help explore your desires.

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!

Despite getting caught in your lipgloss mid-kiss, your hair deserves a few precautions to keep it at its healthiest. From products to techniques, there are several ways to protect your hair before and during bookings. 

Heat damage from styling tools

One of the biggest risks to your hair happens before you ever meet a client! The heat from styling tools like curlers and straighteners can mess with dye-jobs and make hair prone to breakage. There are heat-free alternatives like leave-in curlers but if you can’t give up the curler, consider investing in a heat protectant spray to help preserve your luscious locks.

Hair Pulling

Hair pulling is an iconic part of many men’s fantasies so it can be a great way to make a little extra in a booking, if it’s something you want to offer. Like any contact between partners, there are preferred techniques to keep from causing pain (or losing hair). Like tweezing, pulling just a few hairs will cause pain and breakage, so it’s best to grab a decent ponytails worth. I suppose there’s a reason why Harley Quinn’s iconic pigtails get called ‘handle bars.’

It’s also a good idea to check his hands and wrists for rings and bracelets that risk snagging. Chainlink bracelets are especially painful!

Miscellaneous Causes Of Damage

If you are in the kink scene, there are additional things to look out for. For example, flames and wax from candles. For impact play with whips or floggers, consider sweeping your hair up into a quick ponytail to minimise tangles. If you enjoy greased-up body slides, then consider an up-do to keep it out of the lotion or oil.

Whether you’re a classic ponytail gal or a master of the perfectly imperfect messy bun, your hair is probably a key part of your work persona. If you are looking for a workplace-appropriate way to keep your hair out of your face, then pick up a Harlots scrunchie on your next tour with us!
