I need a futuristic word for Prostitute/courtesan

I think Heinlen used the term “Slot Machine” for robo-whores.

:smack: :smack:

I meant Orgasm Donor.

I need to get out of the lab more. . .

Spacewalker.

Orgasminator

Beaver-Bot

Interstellwhore? Too long…

Bedfellow if you’re a male hooker.

A crude name for a hook(quette?) could be a “spreader”.

A lucklady? You know, you’re just gonna get lucky?

[Austin]She’s like the village hoverplatform, baby…[/Austin]

Joy-girl

Neo-geisha

Sexeteer

Servicer

Meretrician.

“Woman of Negotiable Virtue”. Although Pratchett will probably be miffed if you use it.

Orgasmanaut
Lucky sucky friend.
Rent body
Happy happy time girl
Hentaika
Corporate relaxation manager
Stress relief specialis
Executive toy

Furnature <-- from Soylent Green

For a female hooker: MulLevidensis

For a male hooker: VirLevidensis

Asstronaut.

Some other innocuous words that may conceivably shift its meaning:

Maid
Nurse
Maiden
Entertainer
Counselor
Belle
Lover

It’s also possible that a particular feminine name becomes a generic term for prostitute, not unlike what happened to Lolita and Don Juan.

It would work for a male hooker… :smiley:

Pleasurist.

Pleasuress.

Astronauty.

Roboho.

Freud Droid.

Pleasure GELF (Geneticaly Engineered Life Form)
Tralk (from Farscape, most commonly used to refer to Chiana’s…“affectionate” nature :wink:

Hmmm…how about, make up a name completely, and introduce it through context, not explaining it at all. Or take a current word/name, and do it the same way. For example:

Mary was a good rewo; expensive, but she was good in bed and she listened well.
or
Mary was a good bob; expensive, but she was good in bed and she listened well.

In Heinlein’s Time Enough for Love, the people of Tellus Secundus had revived the old Greek word “hetaira” for a high-class courtesan (such as Tamara).

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this one before. :smack:
The cybernetic sex workers are known as the

Whorg!

They give a whole new meaning to assimilation. :smiley:
