Have you ever stopped to think about what the acronym GP stands for and what difference, if any, there is between it and the term escort?
If you haven’t, it is essential that you know the terms used in adult circles, especially since they are an integral part of your chosen profession.
To begin with, let’s define what a GP is, which is short for Programme Boy or Girl.
This term is used to refer to sex workers, just like the term escort.
However, there are important details that differentiate these two terms that you will discover as you continue reading this article.
When to use GP
Although it is one of the oldest professions in the world, the use of the term GP is relatively recent.
Traditionally, society referred to these professionals as “prostitutes,” often in a pejorative way, focusing on the people who were on the streets and squares offering their services.
As times evolved, sex workers migrated to environments such as massage parlors, nightclubs and, with the rise of the Internet, began to advertise their services on online adult content platforms such as Skokka.
Thus, the term GP came to specifically identify those who offer exclusively sexual services.

Escort:
a broader term On the other hand, the search for sex workers is not always motivated solely by sexual desire.
Many clients look for these professionals to chat, to keep them company at corporate events, to travel and even to introduce them to their family.
In these cases, the professional is more appropriately called an escort.
The escorts offer their presence at events and other occasions without necessarily implying sexual relations.
The decision to include or not this additional service is entirely up to the professional, who may even charge a supplement for it.
Why do we use the term “escort” in Skokka?
At Skokka we have chosen to use the term escort to refer to all professionals who advertise on the platform, regardless of the type of service they offer.

This is because, through the search filters, professionals can advertise both sexual and escort services, which gives them the freedom to operate as they wish in the market.
The luxury escort segment, in particular, is one of the fastest growing in today’s adult market, especially in the business world.
