Finding the right sex toy for you can be extremely difficult. There are so many different kinds, it can be hard to choose. This week, I’m going to help you narrow it down by telling you the pros and cons of the three main materials sex toys are made from.

Silicone

Silicone is the most common material for sex toys to be made from. It’s easy to clean, non-porous and great for transmitting tantalising vibrations. It can be used on a range of toys, like dildos, butt plugs, vibrators and many more. The main drawbacks of silicone-based toys is that they pick up fluff, hair and dust like you wouldn’t believe, so you’ll want to store them in a bag or drawer away from potential contaminants. You also need to be careful not to use silicone-based lubes, as they will degrade your toys over time, so stick with water-based lubricants instead.

Glass

Smooth, hard and gorgeous to look at, glass sex toys feel decadent against your skin. But they aren’t just beautiful, they are also perfect for temperature play. Whether you want to heat them up or cool them down, they can do both. They are also deliciously firm, perfect for hitting those internal pleasure spots. They’re also very easy to clean, just a rinse with hot water and then leave them to dry, and they’ll be ready for your next session. You can also use any lubricant you like; no need to worry about damaging your toy.
Looking at a glass sex toy, you might start to worry about it breaking, but don’t worry, they are made from borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is super durable and won’t shatter into lots of sharp little pieces if dropped.

Metal

Metal toys are very similar to glass ones. They are great for temperature play, durable, and compatible with all kinds of lube. Where metal toys excel is with weight play. If you enjoy a heftiness to your toys, then a metal toy will be perfect for you, and they come in a range of weights so you can find one that suits you best. Some metal toys can also work with an electric current. So, if you want to try out electronic stimulation, they are the toy for you. Just make sure you get a metal toy designed specifically for electronic stimulation.

Ready to try out some new sex toys? You can find a range of toys for sale at online retailers like Lovehoney or Lelo. Have fun experimenting!

Do you prefer the intimate connection of a Girl Friend Experience, or are you more interested in exploring the darker sides of pleasure in a dirty BDSM session? This week, I have curated a selection of books to match your favourite extras. So, you can keep the fun going at home until you can visit us again.

The Girl Friend Experience AKA GFE

This recommendation is for those who love a night of cuddling and cozy affection. Building a more intimate connection than just good old-fashioned sex can provide. Elena Armas’ The Spanish Love Deception is the perfect romcom. You’ll follow main character, Catalina Martín, as she drags her infuriating coworker, Aaron Blackford, to a wedding in Spain to fool her family. It’s funny, flirty with the right hint of spice, just like the perfect GFE. 

The Naughty Girlfriend Experience AKA NGFE

Next up is the Naughty Girlfriend Experience, where the intimate connection of a GFE is combined with the naughtier side of pleasure. This could include spanking, dirty talk, rougher sex and all the other things you wish your girlfriend would do. To fulfil your naughty desires, I’d recommend Gifting Me To His Best Friend by Katee Roberts. Married couple Grayson and Emma decide to finally face the sexual tension between Emma and Grayson’s best friend Derek by gifting her to him for Christmas. But what will happen when Grayson starts to feel left out? This short novella is hot from start to finish; you’ll wish your partner was as naughty as this trio. 

The Porn Star Experience AKA PSE

Does the loud, hot and messy pleasure of a PSE leave you feeling sated? Then I think you should read (or even better, listen to) Caught Up by Navessa Allen. Nico “Junior” Trocci has a dark obsession with Lauren Marchetti, even if he knows she’s off limits. But paying for scantily clad or even fully pornographic videos online isn’t enough anymore; he’s ready to go after what he wants. Can Lauren fight the white-hot desire building between them? This book is red hot, and if you love voyeurism and exhibitionism, then you’ll love this. 

The BDSM Experience

For those of you with a love for all things kinky, I recommend Katee Robert’s Dark Olympus series, starting with Neon Gods. It is a dark romance series full of modern interpretations of Greek gods and heroes. Neon Gods focuses on Persephone and Hades and explores exhibitionism and BDSM. It’s a great combination of riveting story and raunchy sex scenes.

Have my recommendations left you hot, horny and wanting more? Then come down to Harlots Darwin and book your favourite experience with one of our stunning escorts.

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.

Have you been thinking about buying a new vibrator for yourself or your partner? Well, do I have the recommendation for you!

Womanizer is one of the top sex toy brands, and their Womanizer Duo 2 is proof of it. The Duo 2 combines a clitoral stimulator with a powerful G-spot vibrator, so you can hit both pleasure centres at the same time. There are 14 intensity levels and 10 different vibration patterns to choose from. As well as two different stimulation heads to fit different-shaped vaginas. Finding the right rhythm for your pleasure has never been easier. 

The Duo 2 is easy to clean and quick to charge. Although the magnetic charger can be a bit finicky. I would recommend you double-check that the charging light is flashing, the toy is secure, and it won’t be easily bumped to ensure it is fully charged when you want to play. There is nothing worse than being ready for a round of pleasure only to find out your favourite toy is out of battery.

One of the best features of the Duo 2 is its Afterglow function. Once you’ve brought yourself to a mind-numbing orgasm, you can short-press the power button to bring the intensity level down to the lowest setting. This means you can drag your orgasm out for longer without overstimulating your clitoris.

Another bonus of buying a Womanizer product is their 5-year warranty. If your vibrator breaks, simply submit a warranty request with the retailer you purchased it from and you will be well on your way to receiving a replacement.

If this piqued your interest, you can buy a Womanizer Duo 2 from Amazon or Lovehoney.

Happy Shopping! 

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.

Art Gallery or Museum (The “I’m Interesting, I Swear” Move)

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!
