Alongside the infamous bra hooks, women’s buttons are one of the challenges eager men face when it comes to undressing their partner. While it may not seem obvious at first, women’s clothing usually has buttons on the left; the opposite of the typical men’s shirt! It’s not just there as a challenge during foreplay, but the reason is quite bizarre.

Buttons started out as mostly decorative since most clothing had laces, straps or ties. They started appearing in the 13th century and were popular in mens clothing. Men’s clothing was less likely to require lacing compared to women’s dresses and corsets. Given that most people are right-handed, having buttons on the right side was logical.

It was several hundred years before women’s clothing began to incorporate buttons regularly. Most women’s clothing had laces, like corsets or shoulder straps like pinafores. Upper-class women often wore layered clothing; like undergarments, chemises, corsets and blouses. As such, they often had maids who helped them dress. When buttons became popular amongst the wealthy, they were placed on the left side for women’s clothing. This was under the assumption that most maids were right-hand dominant.

Even as buttons became part of normal dress and maids were less common, the tradition and expectation for women’s clothing to have them on the left side persisted. In the present day, placement isn’t as important as back then. While having the buttons on the right side may be easier, most women have been buttoning up shirts on the left side since school so are well-practised.

One benefit of this button debacle is that it’s even easier for you to undress your lucky lady. Plus, we get to show off our ambidextrous unbuttoning skills if you let us undress you too! What do you say, fancy an unbuttoning competition?

Maybe you prefer one-on-one pleasure or you can’t imagine sharing your significant other with someone else in the bedroom. However, other couples swear by the mutual satisfaction and bonding experience of adding a third to the bedroom. There are plenty of reasons why a couple might decide to book an escort. Here are just a few examples:

Sexual Bucket List

A threesome is a frequent appearance on sexual bucket lists, and a couple inviting another person to join is no exception. The intimacy of being with your significant other and some gorgeous stranger at the same time is the perfect recipe for a night of sinful dreams come true. 

Anniversary Gifts

Quite often, threesomes with couples are saved for special occasions. Some choose to celebrate the big milestones by inviting another woman in to please them both. Other couples decide to keep things new and exciting with a variety of companions to keep them on their toes.

For His Pleasure

It’s no secret that a lot of men find girl-on-girl action super hot. So, for his birthday, why not invite over another woman and put on a live show for him? It’ll drive him crazy.

For Her Pleasure

Plenty of women in hetero relationships decide to invite another woman into the bedroom for their own pleasure more than their partners. Despite years of dating men, couples bookings offer the chance to explore those secret girl-on-girl fantasies.

There are plenty of couples who seek professional company for a huge range of reasons. It may be a once-off to say you’ve done it or a semi-regular way to keep things exciting at home. For the ladies, couples bookings can provide the chance to explore your sexual desires with the approval (and encouragement) of your partner. Regardless of why you are booking, you can browse open-minded ladies who are passionate about making incredible memories with couples here.

I don’t know much about cars, so when the conversation at a summer break get-together turns to everyone’s cars I sort of zone out. As I absent-mindedly braid my hair, my eyes wander from the speckled floor of the car park to the shimmering glare from someone’s windshield when something catches my eye. Snapping back to reality, I realise Luca has been trying to get my attention while I’ve been daydreaming.

“Hey, you still here?” he says with a smirk. I let out a giggle and blamed the heat for my daydreaming.

Alex jumps in to ask what car I drive and I wave my hand towards mine. “There, the blue one,” I say.

The guys chuckle; apparently, I was supposed to tell them the make and model but they’ve already figured it out and are back to their car talk. My eyes wander again, the green of the park behind Luca, his blue jeans, his lop-sided smirk… oh shit! How long have I been staring at him? Luca doesn’t seem to mind though, he gives me a nod and a wink before turning back to Alex. There’s something about him though, his scruffy beard and the way his muscled arms make his button-up scrunch at his elbows.

A car pulls up at the other end of the car park and Alex looks over.

“Uh oh, someone’s having a bad day,” he remarks nodding at the flat tyre.

“Lucky for them, you know how to change a tyre, don’t you Alex?” Luca prompts. Alex glances at me and flashes Luca a wry smile.

“Too true,” he says as he jogs off.

Luca leans beside me against his ute. I can feel the heat of the sunset reflecting off the bonnet but that’s not why I start to blush. 

“I’m glad they got a flat,” he says softly.

“Oh yeah, why’s that?” I reply trying not to let my voice waver.

“Because now that Alex isn’t here, I can do what I’ve been thinking about all afternoon…”

I feel a rush, like butterflies in my tummy and I open my mouth to ask him what that might be when he interrupts me, “But only if you admit that you were checking me out.”

If my blushing wasn’t that noticeable before, it’s completely undeniable now. I giggle softly and rest my head against his shoulder in mock defeat.

Luca uses his hand to lift my face, “C’mon, I want my confession,” he teases.

“You are such a dork,” I tell him.

“A dork?” he asks softly, leaning closer to me.

“Yeah,” I manage to whisper as our noses brush against each other.

He pulls me closer to him and I can feel all the places our bodies are pressed against each other. I like the way he smells and tastes and the way he traces his fingertips across my back. Suddenly, he stops and pulls back.

“Do you want to know something about this ute?” he asks, smacking the side of the tub.

“Oh sure,” I say sarcastically, “couldn’t you tell I was just captivated by your discussion on crankshafts and axles?”

Luca laughs and reaches for my hand. He leans in again until I can feel his scruffy beard tickling my neck and he whispers, “In this tub are handles and I would love for you and me to make the most of them.”

I let out a giggle, “Oh my god, you are a dork!” 

While most people know that BDSM is associated with kinks & fetishes, the actual letters of themselves often go overlooked. BDSM is an acronym, but some of the letters double to include more than one word. It stands for Bondage, Discipline, Domination, Submission, Sadism, Masochism.

Bondage

Bondage can refer to all sorts of restraints, but some popular favourites include shibari/ropes, silk ties or handcuffs (bonus points if they are fluffy!). Ropes, cuffs, straps or chains can be exciting for the person doing the restraining and the one being restrained but it’s an exercise in trust too. Bondage and restraints are often reserved for established partners so don’t be surprised if the escort you see would like to hold off on the chains for a while. As with all BDSM things, communication is paramount so check in with your partner frequently. Make sure they are still enjoying their time and that nothing is uncomfortable (or cramping!). There are plenty of online resources about how to achieve elaborate harnesses made of rope but sometimes the most fun is the spontaneous, make-shift restraints, like while we are undressing, taking off your suit tie to wrap my wrists together…

Discipline

The tension of discipline relies on a power dynamic like a master and servant or teacher and naughty student. Discipline might mean punishments for breaking the agreed-upon rules or rewards for following orders. Again, communication is key so establish the ground rules before starting to give out orders. You could go old school with a wooden cane across my thighs, or reward me by letting me do what I like with you for a while. Sometimes discipline can be less about the pain of whips and paddles. There is plenty of inspiration online for “fun-ishments” instead.

Domination & Submission

One of the core elements of BDSM is the power play of domination and submission. Sometimes it’s subtle, there may be a sense of shared experiences rather than power. Other times that power play is at the core of the scene. The appeal of teacher-student or master-servant roleplays is the sense of domination that one has over the other. It’s important to discuss things before diving into the fun though. Even the words we use in dirty talk aren’t one-size-fits-all; would you rather I call you Sir or Master? And while calling me a good girl will make my heart skip a beat, my girlfriend would much rather be your dirty little slut, or we could take control and be your Mistresses.

Sadism & Masochism

Last but not least is the combo deal of sadism and masochism. Sadism is the sexual arousal and gratification that comes with making others feel pain or humiliation. To complement sadism, masochism is when feeling pain or humiliation is what gets you off. Some people don’t resonate with either term so their BDSM scenes might be different. They may focus on taboo role-play or mutual pleasure rather than impact play or degradation. For people interested in sadism & masochism, it can be very rewarding to start the intensity low and build slowly. Rather than starting with floggers, you could pinch me, bite me, and drag your nails across my skin first. Not everyone is so eager to experience all those sensations, so check in with your partner. I know plenty of people who would much rather see you squirm instead.

Given how important communication is in all aspects of BDSM, you should always make sure you set aside some time to talk before your booking. We want to make your wildest dreams come true but unexpected bites or insults are definitely not going to make a positive impression. Be upfront about what you are after and we can point you in the direction of escorts who share the same naughty interests. Whether you are looking for an obedient little pet, a latex-clad mistress or anything in between, check out the escorts who enjoy the darker side of pleasure here.

We have all heard the stereotypes: dumb blondes and freaky redheads. But what other trends are there in hair colour? Everyone has their own type and plenty of people don’t fit the stereotype of their appearance.

Dumb Blondes & Sex Icons

Blonde hair is a timeless classic and aside from the dumb blonde stereotype, it comes with a few key features. Marilyn Monroe’s signature blonde curls are such an iconic part of the sex icon’s look. Blondes are often portrayed in media as carefree and confident, even if they are somewhat ditzy.

Ravishing Red

Red hair is another shade that tends to stand out. It’s uncommon naturally which means it stands out in a crowd. Gingers are often associated with fiery & passionate personalities. There are plenty of interesting facts about redheads too, like needing higher doses of anaesthesia (and being freaky in the bedroom, of course).

Classy Brunette

Brunette hair is often linked with sophistication and depth. This colour is seen as versatile and can be part of an elegant aesthetic or a carefree, tangled-in-your-fingers way. It may not have the bold stereotypes like blonde and red but it is timeless in its own understated way.

50 Shades Of Gray

With the peak in popularity of terms like MILF and mature escorts, it’s no surprise that silver hair has become more popular. Embracing the natural beauty of gray hair is decidedly confident and sexy. It gives a sense of wisdom and suggests there may be years of experience in the bedroom to make the most of.

Ultimately, the sexiness of hair colour is deeply personal and comes down to personal preference. While there are stereotypes surrounding each colour, there is so much more to attraction than hair colour. Lucky for you, there’s plenty of variety available at Harlots so you are welcome to come and see for yourself!

Putting on a good performance in the bedroom can be daunting, and some rather unrealistic expectations can get in the way of a good time. While you shouldn’t feel pressured to be some kind of sex god, there’s no harm in taking a few tips if you feel like improving! 

The Basics

Despite how common the following tips may be, there are a few basics that people always seem to forget. Firstly, no matter how awkward you might feel, asking for consent is always a turn-on. In some power dynamics or roleplay scenes, asking for permission comes quite naturally since it is paired with a title like Sir or Miss. When in more vanilla atmospheres, a simple gesture and “May I?” can work wonders.

Secondly, safe sex is good sex, so take the initiative and reach for the condoms first! It’s a relief to know that your partner is on the same page about protection. The same goes for dental dams which are used during rimming or when going down on a lady.

Thirdly, slow things down. This applies to the lead-up and during intercourse. Foreplay, and even just sharing an intimate embrace beforehand, can make the experience so much more memorable. Taking things slower can help build up pleasure for everyone involved before the finale.

With the basics out of the way, let’s get into the nitty-gritty!

Pussy Play & Fingering

Fingering is frequently remembered as a vital part of adolescent exploration, but it doesn’t have to be left in our teenage years. Mutual masturbation is a great addition to your foreplay repertoire. As with many things, less is often more in fingering, both literally and in the movements used. It’s easier to build up in intensity than it is to apologise for causing discomfort. Watching your partner please themselves and then copying that is one of the best ways to make sure they get what they like and how they like it.

Dinner At The Y

Whether you call it ‘going down,’ ‘eating out’ or any number of other nicknames, cunnilingus is one of the most popular methods of helping female partners reach the big O. There are millions of methods available, from writing the alphabet, spelling your name to tracing shapes with your tongue. However, no single strategy will work for everyone! It’s great if you have a go-to that usually works, but be willing to listen and adapt if it doesn’t work for this partner. If you don’t know where to start, ask your partner what they like and try to follow their instructions. Being willing and able to learn and customise your technique for each partner is a great skill.

Exploring Their Body

The term ‘erogenous zone’ is among the least sexy phrases in this article, but its meaning is important. Erogenous zones are places on the body that are sensitive to touch and may be stimulated to help set the mood. For example, one partner may get shivers down their spine when their earlobe is gently nibbled, while another gets goosebumps during foot rubs. Little things like that can take intimacy to a whole new level. 

If you enjoy learning how to make someone gasp and moan, then I hope this article helps you achieve that. If you would rather all of the focus be on your own pleasure, then Harlots has an abundance of stunning babes determined to make you feel like a king. We all appreciate the value of absolute pleasure and going above and beyond to make your fantasies a reality brings us the utmost pleasure.

When you’re ready to put what you’ve learnt into practice, check out our roster and make a booking. 

There are a few unspoken agreements in the ladies’ bathroom, particularly at clubs; everyone looks stunning, no one should go to the bathroom alone and never, ever let someone text their ex. Most men underestimate the comradery we girls find as we touch up our makeup in the speckled mirror.

I went out on the town the day after a messy break-up. Long story short, myself and another lady learned we had been dating the same guy. He hooked up with yet another girl and she realised he was in not one, but two relationships. I didn’t know who else he had been two-timing, and I was just looking for a distraction. It was while I rinsed the taste of cheap whiskey out of my mouth that I heard someone crying. Of course, Girl Code means I have to check in on them. For the sake of this story, let’s call her Annie.

We had a few mutual friends, so she wasn’t a complete stranger. I invited her out to a booth in the club and we talked. Through hiccups, she told me how she risked her job dating a guy who then cheated. Even with her mascara running down her cheek, I was captivated. She was so sweet and pretty. I empathised with her and told her how angry I was at my ex too. I wish I had put the pieces together sooner but it took us quite a while before we realised we were talking about the same guy. Fuelled by emotion (and whatever that charming blue cocktail was), it wasn’t long before Annie’s mascara was smudged against my face too.

There are few things as passionate as mutual heartache and we spent the night proving we didn’t need him. I’ll never forget the way she leaned into me and whispered “You’re so much better than him” as I felt her quiver beneath my fingertips.

Joyce’s fondness for description and details leaves very little of these intimate moments to the imagination. His erotic letters to his wife Nora Barnacle were certainly never written for anyone else’s eyes. After their deaths, award-winning biographer Richard Ellmann published some of their correspondence. While the ethics of publishing personal letters is widely debated, there are few examples of such writings in history, which makes these invaluable.

Joyce’s Letters

Amidst words that could make anyone blush are sweet phrases of tenderness;

“I love your body, long for it, dream of it”

“A hundred thousand kisses, darling!

However, it is hardly the romance that makes these letters so notable. Instead, the boldness of the language sets them apart. Not only is it explicit and graphic, but the language itself is intriguing. Dated around 1909, the colloquial terms that Joyce uses to refer to various aspects of intimacy are now outdated. The term “frig,” for example, now stands in for a somewhat censored expletive but once meant ‘to masturbate’ or finger. It wasn’t just foreplay that got a vocabulary update.

Joyce writes “I was the first man that blocked you,” and to a modern reader, it suggests a falling out on social media. What it meant though, was sex and that he was her first partner in bed. It is interesting to see how language regarding sex has shifted over time.

Not everything has changed with time, though. Joyce opens up about the effect of all this erotic correspondence had:

I have done so much and so often that I am afraid to look to see how that thing I had is after all I have done to myself,” which is a sentiment many lustful men have felt.

The Replies

While Nora’s replies to these letters have never been published, it’s clear that her thirst for passion matched her husband’s. Joyce reflects “Tired of lying under a man one night you tore off your chemise violently and began to ride me up and down.”

While there are plenty of private messages I would rather not have resurface, there is a certain comforting relatability to these old letters. Throughout time, people have shared their most intimate thoughts through whatever medium was available to them. Their “wild filth and obscenity” is an integral part of human sexuality. Though I must admit, I much prefer the convenience of an instant message to the days, weeks or months between letters. 

Alongside printed material, X-rated video production echoed the social changes in the 20th and 21st centuries. Before the convenience of smartphones and on-demand streaming services, erotic recordings were subject to content and distribution regulations and depended on having access to the right playback equipment. For many teenagers in the ‘80s and ‘90s, this meant creeping downstairs to use the VHS after curfew.

Lights

When the lights went down, the restrictions on TV content slackened. This presented the opportunity to run ads such as the infamous ‘Gone Wild’ commercials that encouraged viewers to pay for the full video or purchase a subscription. Despite being aimed at an adult-only audience, there were still considerable regulations about what was allowed to be aired.

Camera

As technologies like handheld video recorders enabled filmmakers to record content more easily, videos of erotic material grew in popularity. VHS was available to the average consumer and the convenience of enjoying adult entertainment from home meant producers could portray more explicit scenes than a film aimed at a general audience. Despite this, regulations imposed censorship requirements and limited distribution channels. 

Action

The technological progress of the 1980s and ‘90s contributed to the booming popularity of erotic videos. VHS and camera technology were improving rapidly and the diversity of films available grew exponentially. Video rental stores, which are now a rarity in their own right, often dedicated a shelf to the XXX films. Exclusive adult-video-only rental stores opened as well to provide access to the huge variety of videos available. As the ‘90s rolled around, DVDs became the most popular platform for erotic material, offering better video quality and interactive menus to navigate through assorted media. Cable and satellite TV eventually relaxed their content restrictions and enabled pay-per-view adult films. The production and consumption of pornographic material became part of pop culture and erotic content brands became household names.

While still-image pornography remained popular, the rise of adult entertainment in the film industry was revolutionary. To go from taboo, printed images to on-demand TV meant a cultural acceptance of pornography in mainstream media. Even though DVDs are now considered outdated, X-rated content is frequently on the cutting edge of technological advances. This is true today, as artificial intelligence is being utilised in several fields including the production and distribution of adult entertainment. 

Whether you’re a literal pro in the bedroom or are new to exploring the world of sexual pleasures, there’s no harm in brushing up on a few tips and tricks. While every partner is unique, if you are getting down & dirty with men, there are a few things you might want to know.

Enthusiasm

It can be nice to sit back and enjoy being a pillow princess, but guys want to be able to lay back and enjoy the attention too. Try adding a little enthusiasm to your sex life, whether it’s initiating the intimacy to start with or playing a more active part in it.

Additionally, while things like deepthroat are on nearly every man’s sexual bucket list, you don’t have to overcome your gag reflex to make him happy! An enthusiastic, messy, sloppy bj will definitely have him feeling like a porn star.

Dirty Talk

It doesn’t have to be crazy kinky but there are plenty of ways to use your words in the bedroom! If he’s doing something right, “yes, like that” or any other positive reinforcement will make him feel good and keep him on track to making you feel good too.

When he could be doing something better, take the opportunity to lock eyes and whisper “I want it like this,” and show him how you like it.

If there’s even a subtle power dynamic at play, putting on a pout and asking for things with a “please” is sure to make his heart skip a beat.

Of course, there is an infinite selection of phrases & pet names that can intensify things further and you can ask your partner what they want to hear in bed!

Kinks

There is an infinite number of kinks and fetishes, and across the years you are likely to hear plenty of unexpected ones! If a partner trusts you enough to disclose an unconventional bedroom request, then do your best to respect their honesty. If it’s something you aren’t open to, then let him know but thank him for his honesty. Communication doesn’t always result in compromise, but it’s important to make sure that everyone is comfortable talking about things. 

At the end of the day, asking your partner directly is the easiest way to figure out what they are after. Don’t be afraid to make the first move or to let your wild side show, most guys love seeing you enjoy yourself. If you have your own kinky fantasies, you should tell him and be prepared to hear about his too! So next time things are getting steamy, go all in and show him how much you enjoy him, I promise he will appreciate it.
