Can someone tell me what “specials” mean in escort service? ---

In a restaurant, it usually means wasting 30 seconds of my life while a bored-looking waitperson stampedes through a list of dishes whose descriptions I can’t even hear or understand, before I order what I want instead. Is that how it works with escorts too? ---

This probably refers to pricing during slow periods. Or so I’ve been told. ---

“Specials” would mean anything that’s not “regular.” Take it from there. ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > “Specials” would mean anything that’s not “regular.” I’m an old married guy who has zero knowledge of escort services. My impression is that they’re a thinly-veiled front for prostitution, but is that accurate? Do any people actually use the service just to provide a pretty young thing to be sitting next to him at the awards dinner? Or does “regular” in regards to an escort service pretty much include sex? ---

> [@TubaDiva](#): > > Moving to GQ. Curious as to why. Do you think that this question has a specific answer? Do prostitutes operate under a common code? This seems more suited for the IMHO…or maybe The Game Room.😃 ---

Not surprisingly, this is our friend’s first and only post. Of course, given the utter lack of titillating responses here, perhaps s/he’s gone to seek cheap thrills elsewhere. Oh well. ---

For $200, you can get her to agree to paint your house. (If the offer is worded correctly.) ---
