Let’s be real, first dates are already weird. Add the fact that your date is a professional bombshell, and the stakes feel even higher. Suddenly you’re worrying about everything — what to say, where to go, how not to accidentally turn into a puddle of nervous sweat.

Fear not. Whether you’re a seasoned date-booker or it’s your first rodeo, the right plan can turn “awkward and fumbling” into “cool and charming.” Here’s your ultimate cheat sheet of first date ideas that’ll actually be fun, for both of you.

Coffee Date (AKA “The Warm-Up Round”)

A coffee shop is the ultimate first date pre-game. Low-commitment, high-potential. You get caffeine, casual conversation, and an easy exit if it’s not vibing. Plus, you can always say, “Let’s grab another somewhere else” if things are going well.

Pro Tip:
Pick a café that’s actually good, no one’s feeling romantic under fluorescent lights, sipping burnt drip coffee. Bonus points for choosing somewhere with good pastries. Flirting over croissants? It’s practically French.

Pretend you’re cultured! (Or, you know, actually be cultured — either way works.) Wandering through art gives you endless conversation starters: “Do you get this painting?” “Could I pull off that ancient Roman look?” Instant icebreakers.

Pro Tip:
Steer clear of the weird modern art section unless you’re both secretly 12-year-olds who can giggle at giant abstract sculptures named “Self-Reflection in Blue.” (Actually… maybe that’s a vibe.)

Drinks at a Cool, Low-Key Bar (Not a Boozy Apocalypse)

You want a lounge, not a sweaty nightclub. Think velvet couches, soft lighting, and cocktail names that are slightly ridiculous. (“I’ll have the Flirtini with a side of regrettable life choices, thanks.”)

Pro Tip:
Have a two-drink limit in mind. You want flirty tipsy, not “confessing your childhood trauma” tipsy.

Sunset Walk or a Chill Park Picnic (Wholesome AF)

Walking side-by-side is way less intense than sitting across from each other in some intense eye-lock standoff. Plus, a little nature makes everyone 40% more charming. (Scientific fact I just made up.)

Pro Tip:
Bring something to share: a thermos of coffee, a couple of cheeky cupcakes, or even a mini speaker for chill background music. Instant “aww” points.

Play Games (Mini-Golf, Bowling, Arcade — Channel Your Inner Kid)

When in doubt, do something silly. Mini-golf? Bowling? Retro arcade games? They’re perfect for cutting through the nerves because you’re focusing more on playing than impressing.

Pro Tip:
Let them win just enough. Competitive banter = flirting gold!

Bonus First Date Ideas (Rapid Fire Round):

  • Pizza Crawl: Best slices in town. Taste test. Full stomachs = full hearts.
  • Bookstore Date: Buy each other a random book based only on the cover. Hilarious (and you look smart).
  • Cooking Class: Nothing bonds people faster than collectively setting a crème brûlée on fire.
  • Comedy Show: If you can’t laugh together, what’s the point?

Final Tips for Ultimate Non-Awkwardness:

  • Don’t Treat It Like a Transaction: Even though it’s a booking, you’re still two humans hanging out. Chill, laugh, connect (just not on too deep a level)
  • Avoid the “So What’s Your Craziest Client Story” Trap: She’s heard it a thousand times. Trust me.
  • Be Normal: (Easier said than done, but seriously. Be. Normal.)
  • Relax: Escorts are pros, not just at sex, but at making people feel good and comfortable. You’re in good hands. Literally and metaphorically.

Now go forth and be charming, you absolute legend. 😎

Sometimes the decision to seek out some adult company is an impulsive, heat-of-the-moment desire, but for some people that decision is part of a well-thought-out schedule. Here are a few points to consider next time you’re thinking about finding a partner-in-fantasy.

Your Schedule

For some people, the 9-5 office job means that all their adult entertainment has to happen out of hours, but for others, a quick fling is the perfect lunchtime stress relief! We have done plenty of outcalls to people making the most of their ‘working from home’ arrangements too! If you have other responsibilities, then maybe sticking to weekends or late nights is the most convenient.

Escort Availability

Some independent escorts are available 24/7 provided you give enough notice and/or pay a deposit, but others may work within quite rigid hours. If you are looking for a specific private escort, then you will have to consider their schedule as well. The more flexible option would be establishments that work with local and touring escorts during their opening hours to give you a selection of service providers to choose from. Some establishments are open 24/7 with a varying number of escorts on shifts at any given time. At Harlots, we believe that providing quality service means making sure the escorts we work with have enough time to rest and rejuvenate between shifts. So while we aren’t open 24/7, you know that when our doors open we are ready and able to go above and beyond when it comes to making your dreams come true. 

Specific Requests

This is the niche section that most people don’t have to consider but if you do have very specific requests for your service provider, it might be worth a read! For things that are exceptionally physically demanding (like intense BDSM scenes), require preparation (like golden-, brown, or roman showers) or require significant cleaning (like either of the aforementioned examples), then giving your service provider a heads-up would be greatly appreciated. There may be a preferred time, day or location for those bookings.

Whether you decide to start your day with a bang or finish your night with one, Harlots are happy to be part of your next adult adventure. We appreciate your busy schedule and can introduce you to service providers who are passionate about passion too! Let us know if you have any specific requests that might impact your booking time, and let us make your dream come true!

A great set of photos can work wonders for your advertising. They capture the attention, spark the imagination and create craving in prospective clients. With nearly infinite examples of erotic photography online, knowing where to start can seem overwhelming. Here are a few key tips that will help you get started.

Inspiration

If you don’t even know how to pose, consider checking out the internet for inspiration. Not every pose will work for everyone; camera angle, lighting, body size/shape, mobility and props might force you to make adjustments to what you find online. Search terms like ‘boudoir photography’ are a good starting point. Pick a few favourites and use them as references for your own.

Props & Accessories

While the classic lingerie-and-heels outfit is a must-have for your gallery, there are plenty of ways you can add a little bit of spice to your photos without going over budget. A plain bed sheet can be used to cover up for some classy modesty in reclining poses. You can also drape it around you while you’re standing. If you offer kink & fetish services, consider posing with some of the toys. A standard dress tie can be a novel way to add some colour to an open-shirt shot or a creative alternative to cuffs or blindfolds for a ‘naughty secretary’ look. Think about what makes you or your service stand out!

The Background

You should be the centre of attention in these photos so make an effort to remove distractions from the background. Tidy up anything that is in the shot; knickknacks, pets, shoes and laundry are frequent photobombers that can take away from your photo. While mirror selfies have a certain casual fun to them, make sure your reflections don’t show more than you bargained for (and wipe down your mirror before shooting). 

Get creative and remember to have fun! It’s okay to take a hundred photos and only keep a handful. Happy snapping!

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.

Happy snapping!

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!
