The escort business is arguably one of the oldest industries humanity has seen. It is one subject that brings about different reactions depending on where it’s been discussed. With the ever-constant element of change rocking society, the advent of technology, and its steady improvement, along with public opinions and new trends, the escort scene will undoubtedly be highly affected. Today, we will look at the opportunities and probable challenges these factors will bring to the escort industry.
The Evolution of Escort Services
While the exact date it began cannot be accurately traced, it can be stated with certainty that both ancient and modern cultures have practiced escorting over history. Traditionally, it has always involved all parties meeting in person before reaching an agreement on the services needed and payment. However, due to the advent and advancement of technology in the form of online directories and platforms, there are now alternative means of contacting and contracting an escort.
Clients can now connect with escorts and vice versa in a much more indirect and private manner. Thanks to these online platforms, independent escorts and those affiliated with agencies also have an easier way of advertising themselves and building their brands. In fact, a published article by R. Keighley and T. Sanders from the University of Leicester states that the internet escort industry has grown exponentially in recent years, and adult service websites have expanded globally. It is important to note that this does not in any way discredit or eliminate the traditional way of contracting an escort. Although technology may have made it more convenient for some, many still prefer the default method of face-to-face interactions when seeking out an escort.
