@urquell is right, of course. GFE has traditionally meant BBBJ + DFK. If it doesn't mean that anymore, then it doesn't mean anything; there's no such thing as "safe GFE." As for it being a
style, well, what's the style? How many SPs advertise that they're aloof clock watchers who are uninterested in kindness, conversation, or connection?
It seems to me that SPs often present themselves as both more and less professional than in the past. They're more professional because they're sex workers ("escort" is just another euphemism) who deserve to be respected for the services they provide. I agree with this, of course. On the other hand, they appear to be less professional because those services are no longer a defined set of acts that can be identified through acronyms but have become an interpersonal abstraction centered on the SP's capacity to care for the emotional needs of clients. In this sense, sex workers are not
sex workers. Thus GFE seems to mean: "I will be caring; I will be passionate; I will make you feel seen." Those are all fine things and may be worth paying for. (That also describes teachers, therapists, many medical professionals, life coaches, financial advisers, etc.) And it does seem that many, many men seek out an emotional experience, which is fine.
But problems arise. For one thing, without an agreed-upon definition, any SP can advertise as offering GFE. For another, as we repeatedly see out here, some clients become resentful that their profound emotional experience was a timed professional experience for the SP. Weirdly, it seems to me that more and more clients are feeling
hurt by SPs who, after an intimate session, don't call, don't write.
Some SPs are friendly, fun, and good at making connections; some aren't. It has always been that way. In my experience, the fact that an SP or agency advertises GFE doesn't in any way equate to good "chemistry" or connection. How could it? We're all different. And so, again, if GFE doesn't mean specific, agreed-upon services, it really means nothing at all.
