Escort Glossary: Terms & Definitions

A

Anal Sex (AV)

Anal Sex, abbreviated AV (from the German "Analverkehr"), refers to penetrative sexual activity involving the anus. On gingr.ch, anal sex is among the services that escorts can individually include or exclude in their profiles. Whether an escort lists AV as a service, and at what price, is her personal decision and is transparently communicated in her profile. All services on the platform require mutual consent and safer sex. Anyone wishing to book AV can find the option in the service filters and select it directly during the booking process.

Anonymity / Discretion

Anonymity refers to a state in which a person's identity is unknown. Discretion refers to the conscious protection of confidential information about a person or a meeting. Both terms are central in the escort context: clients and escorts share a mutual interest in keeping names, contact details, and encounters private.

B

BDSM

Acronym for Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadism & Masochism. Umbrella term for consensual sexual practices involving power, submission, restraint, and pleasure-pain dynamics. On gingr.ch, BDSM practices follow the SSC principle: Safe, Sane, and Consensual, secured by a safeword. An extended ethical framework is RACK (Risk-aware Consensual Kink), which emphasises informed awareness of risks in more intense practices.

Bisexual (Bi)

Bisexual, abbreviated Bi, describes a sexual orientation in which romantic or sexual attraction can extend to more than one gender. In escort contexts, the abbreviation "bi" is often used in profiles when an escort indicates openness to bookings with couples or with other women. The specific interpretation and service offering remain entirely with the escort herself. Bisexuality is an independent orientation and not defined by individual booking contexts.

Blindfold

An erotic practice in which one person's sight is restricted with a blindfold, cloth, or mask in order to heighten the remaining senses. Removing sight increases anticipation, tension, and bodily perception of touch, voice, and sound. Blindfold scenarios are often part of soft BDSM settings or serve as a sensual element within a GFE. The person wearing the blindfold gives up part of their control, without the practice necessarily having BDSM character. On gingr.ch, selected escorts offer this form of sensory reduction as a standalone service or integrate it into broader bookings.

Blowjob (BJ)

Term for oral sex performed on a penis, often abbreviated BJ. In escort bookings, the BJ is among the classic services and is typically differentiated in profiles between with or without condom. Whether an escort offers BJ as a service, and under what conditions, is her individual decision. Safer sex is the foundation of all service arrangements on gingr.ch.

Body-to-Body Massage (BtB, B2B)

Erotic massage form in which the masseuse uses her entire body to massage the client's body. Both persons are unclothed; high-quality massage oil enables fluid movements. Often ends with manual release. No intercourse by definition. The abbreviations BtB and B2B are used synonymously.

Bondage

Subcategory of BDSM: tying or restraining a person using ropes, handcuffs, tape, or leather. Arousal arises from experiencing helplessness or exercising control. A well-known variant is Japanese Shibari.

Booking

Binding appointment between client and escort regarding location, duration, and services. Made directly, via a platform, or through an agency. Confirmation creates a mutual commitment.

C

Call Girl

Outdated term for a sex worker who is booked by phone and either visits or receives clients. The term has largely been replaced by "escort" and carries a stronger prostitution connotation than the more modern equivalent.

Cancellation

Withdrawal of a confirmed booking before the agreed appointment. To be distinguished from a no-show, where no notice is given. Cancellation deadlines and any associated fees are set individually.

Caressing

Consciously gentle, soft touching of the skin with hands, fingertips, lips, or aids such as feathers or soft fabrics. What may sound like a given is, as a standalone service, a deliberate argument for slowing down: Caressing represents a consciously designed booking in which not the quick goal, but extended bodily awareness is the focus. The practice is often part of a GFE or serves as a sensual entry point into more intense dynamics. On gingr.ch, many escorts include this component naturally; as a separately highlighted service, it signals a clear desire for calm, closeness, and mindfulness.

CIM (Cum in Mouth)

CIM stands for "Cum in Mouth" and refers to receiving ejaculate in the mouth during oral sex. In escort profiles, CIM is an independent service option that escorts can individually offer or exclude. Some profiles additionally differentiate between CIM with or without swallowing. Whether and under what conditions an escort lists CIM is her personal decision. All services on gingr.ch require mutual consent and informed agreements.

Confidentiality

Informal norm in the escort environment: both sides treat names, meeting points, and content of a date as confidential. There is no legal duty of confidentiality; discretion is based on mutual interest and is often part of the booking agreement.

Couples Service

Booking format in which an escort offers her services to a couple jointly attending an appointment. Constellations include male-female (FM), two women (FF), or two men (MM) pairs; see also MMF, FFM, MFM for threesome notations. Couples-Service bookings require the express consent of all involved, clear agreements on roles, limits, and wishes, and usually a somewhat longer booking duration for a relaxed dynamic. On gingr.ch, each escort decides individually whether she accepts couples bookings and which constellations she offers. The exact arrangement is discussed in detail before the booking.

Crossdressing

Wearing clothing associated with a gender other than the one socially assigned to oneself. Motives range from personal fashion preference to erotic stimulation to expression of gender identity. Crossdressing is not equivalent to being transgender. The older term Transvestite (TV) is used synonymously.

Cuckolding

Sexual practice within the Femdom/BDSM area in which one partner experiences arousal from his partner having sex with a third person while he watches or knows about it. Combines elements of voyeurism, jealousy, and submission.

Cum on Body (COB)

Cum on Body, abbreviated COB (in the German context known as "Körperbesamung", KB), refers to ejaculation onto the partner's body at the end of a sexual act. The practice is one of several ejaculation-related service variants escorts can individually include. On gingr.ch, COB is often listed in profiles as an alternative or addition to other variants. Whether and under what conditions an escort lists COB is her personal decision and is transparently communicated. All services require mutual consent and adherence to hygiene standards.

D

Deepthroat (DT)

Term for an oral sex act in which the penis is inserted deep into the throat, often abbreviated DT. The practice requires individual technique and relaxation and is not offered by all escorts. In escort profiles, DT is frequently listed as a standalone service option because it goes beyond a classic BJ. Whether and at what intensity an escort practises DT is transparently communicated.

Dildo Play (DS)

Dildo Play, abbreviated DS (from the German "Dildospiele"), refers to the use of dildos or similar toys during a booking. The practice can be performed by the escort herself or on the booking partner and is often part of a GFE or fetish repertoire. On gingr.ch, some escorts offer dildo play as a standalone service, while others integrate it into broader offerings. The specific toys, practices, and hygiene standards are arranged individually via profile or directly with the escort. All play takes place consensually and with regard for safer sex.

Dinner Date

Booking format in which the escort accompanies the client to a shared dinner, often in an upscale restaurant. The focus is on conversation, shared time, and experiencing a stylish setting; whether an intimate component follows the meal is agreed individually. Dinner Dates are especially suited to longer bookings and are often paired with a GFE dynamic. The booking includes not only the accompanying time but also preparation, clothing choice, and possibly travel. On gingr.ch, the Dinner Date is an independently bookable service with clearly defined timing and is distinguished from the term Escort Dinner by its typically extended duration.

Dirty Talk (VE)

Verbal sexual communication during a meeting or as a standalone erotic practice. Ranges from suggestive remarks to explicit descriptions and is treated as a separate service in escort contexts. In German-speaking regions also referred to as Verbalerotik (VE).

Dogging

Dogging refers to sexual acts in the open air, often at semi-public locations such as parking lots, forest edges, or secluded spots. The practice combines the appeal of an outdoor setting with an exhibitionistic component, in which the possibility of being observed by third parties is deliberately part of the experience. Dogging is not legally unproblematic: exhibitionistic behaviour in publicly accessible places can be punishable in Switzerland (Art. 194 Swiss Penal Code). On gingr.ch, outdoor settings are offered by a few escorts as a niche service, with clear demarcation to legally permissible conditions.

Dominance / Dominant (Dom)

In BDSM, the active, controlling role (also Top or Dom). The dominant person sets the course of the session. Counterpart: Submissive (Sub). The role distribution is based on mutual agreement, not personality. Some escorts switch between both roles (switch) and communicate their preferences transparently in their profile.

Dominatrix

A woman who, for a fee, offers BDSM practices with sadistic-dominant elements. Dominatrixes are generally self-employed sex workers and work in SM studios or as escorts. The term derives from the Latin "domina" (mistress).

Double Penetration (DP)

Double Penetration, abbreviated DP, refers to simultaneous penetration of two body openings. In escort contexts, DP is most often offered as part of bookings with two escorts or in threesome constellations. The practice requires a high degree of physical coordination and is offered selectively by escorts. On gingr.ch, each escort decides individually whether to include DP in her offering and under which conditions. The platform's service filters allow targeted searches for matching offers.

E

Erotic Massage

Umbrella term for massage forms with an erotic component. Aim is sexual arousal and relaxation. To be distinguished from Tantra Massage (holistic-spiritual) and Body-to-Body Massage (full-body contact by the masseuse).

Erotic Thai Massage

Massage form rooted in traditional Thai massage, supplemented by erotic elements and sensual body contact. Classic Thai techniques such as pressure, stretching, and acupressure are combined with strokes, body-to-body elements, and intimate touch. The Erotic Thai Massage differs from pure Erotic Massage through its higher share of structured massage techniques, and from Tantra through its explicitly erotic orientation. On gingr.ch, individual escorts with appropriate training offer this service. The specific course, oil choice, and intensity are arranged individually.

Escort

Designation for a person who offers companionship and accompaniment for a fee, often with an erotic component. The word comes from the French "escorter" (to accompany) and differs from classical prostitution through discretion, minimum booking times, and an upscale environment.

Escort Agency

Intermediary company that connects escorts and clients. The agency handles marketing, communication, and booking coordination; escorts are self-employed, not employees. Commission is typically 30–40% of the fee.

Escort Dinner

Social accompaniment to a dinner without sexual services. Reflects the original concept of escort services as discreet accompaniment to social occasions.

Escorting

Term for the activity as an escort. Escorting encompasses companionship and related services for a fee and is practised either through an agency or independently as an Independent Escort.

F

Face Sitting

Sexual practice in which one person sits on the other's face. Enables oral or breath-play and often appears in combination with dominance elements. On gingr.ch, individual escorts offer Face Sitting as a standalone service, frequently within the context of Female-Domination scenarios.

Facial (CIF)

Ejaculation onto the partner's face at the end of a sexual act, also abbreviated CIF (Cum in Face). The practice is one of the service variants escorts can individually include or exclude. Compared to Cum on Body (COB), it is a more specific, symbolically charged variant that often plays a role in PSE contexts. Facial is listed transparently in service profiles on gingr.ch, so bookings are made with clear expectations. As with all ejaculation variants, mutual consent is a prerequisite.

Fetish

Sexual fixation on an object, body part, or situation that is necessary for or strongly heightens arousal or satisfaction. Fetishes are not pathological as long as they cause no distress and harm no one.

Filming / Photography

Service in which photos or videos are taken during a booking, often by the client and with the consent of both parties. The practice can range from individual keepsake images to staged photo sessions. The central prerequisite is the express consent of the escort: recordings without consent are punishable in Switzerland (Art. 179quater Swiss Penal Code). Publication or sharing of recordings is also only permitted with express permission. Filming and Photography is offered on gingr.ch by individual escorts as a standalone service, with clearly defined conditions for use, storage, and data protection.

Fingering

Manual stimulation of the vagina or anus with the fingers. The term is widely used in escort contexts.

Fisting

Sexual practice in which the entire hand is inserted into the vagina or anus. Fisting requires thorough preparation, plenty of lubricant, and full trust between those involved.

Foot Fetish (FE)

Foot Fetish, abbreviated FE, refers to a sexual preference in which feet are at the centre of erotic attention. The practice can range from mere viewing through massages and kisses to more specific practices such as foot-worship. Foot Fetish is one of the most common fetishes overall and is offered by many escorts as a standalone service or as part of a broader fetish repertoire. On gingr.ch, escorts state in their profile whether they offer foot services and in what form. The specific practices are arranged individually.

Footjob

Manual stimulation of the penis with the feet. Frequently appears in the context of a foot fetish.

French Kiss (DFK)

Deep tongue kiss, also referred to as Deep French Kiss (DFK). Listed in escort contexts as a standalone service, since not all escorts offer this form of intimacy. The kiss is considered a particularly personal gesture in escort contexts and is communicated accordingly. On gingr.ch, French Kiss is a separately bookable option.

Full Service (FS)

Full Service, abbreviated FS, is a collective term for a comprehensive escort offering, typically including GFE elements, oral sex, and intercourse. The term is not uniformly defined and varies in its interpretation depending on the escort. On gingr.ch, "Full Service" is not booked as a package — instead, each escort individually states which services she offers. Important note: the abbreviation FS is also used for Face Sitting in some escort contexts. Which meaning is intended can be inferred from the profile context.

G

Gangbang (GB)

Term for a sexual act in which one person engages with multiple partners simultaneously or in succession, often abbreviated GB. The practice requires special organisational and hygienic conditions and is offered by only a few escorts. On gingr.ch, each escort decides individually whether to accept gangbang bookings and under what conditions. Coordination usually takes place directly with the escort, as planning goes beyond a standard booking.

GFE (Girlfriend Experience)

Designation for an escort date with emotional closeness that goes beyond purely physical services. Includes conversation, shared activities, affection, and intimacy on equal terms. Typical elements of a GFE are kisses, shared meals, longer conversations, and a relaxed, unscripted dynamic. GFE bookings are generally priced higher than standard dates and are particularly suited to longer bookings such as dinner dates or overnight appointments.

Golden Shower (NS)

Colloquial term for sexual practices involving urine, also referred to as NS (German "Natursekt") or Watersports. Active denotes urinating on the partner, passive denotes receiving. Classified under urophilia and occasionally combined with BDSM. Hygiene, consent, and clear agreements are particularly important in such scenarios. On gingr.ch, a few escorts offer Golden Shower as a niche service. The specific practices and limits are agreed individually via profile or in booking communication.

Group Sex (GS)

Group Sex, abbreviated GS, refers to sexual activity between three or more people. In escort contexts, the term encompasses threesome constellations, gangbangs, and larger groupings. Group Sex requires clear agreements, mutual consent of all involved, and particular attention to safer sex. On gingr.ch, group bookings are usually arranged directly with the escort and are not a standard service option. Some escorts offer duo bookings with colleagues that can be booked as a two-person escort experience.

H

Handjob (HJ)

Term for manual stimulation of the penis, often abbreviated HJ. In escort contexts, HJ is usually part of a broader service repertoire and rarely booked in isolation. Many escorts integrate handjob into massages, GFE, or as an entry into more intense practices.

Hard BDSM

Intense form of BDSM with pronounced pain, humiliation, or control elements. Distinguished from Soft BDSM by the intensity of techniques and the experience level of those involved.

High Heels

High-heeled shoes as an erotic style element and standalone fetish. The appeal stems from posture, leg silhouette, the sound of walking, and aesthetic staging. High-Heels services range from simply wearing them during the booking to deliberate staging or combinations with foot fetish or dominance settings. Some escorts state in their profile which models, heel heights, or brands they have available or will wear on request. On gingr.ch, the service can be specified in booking communication, for instance regarding shoe choice, stockings, or accompanying outfit elements.

Human Trafficking

Punishable offence under Art. 182 of the Swiss Penal Code: the recruitment, intermediation, or harbouring of persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation, in particular through deception, coercion, or exploitation of a person's vulnerability. Clearly to be distinguished from voluntary sex work. Human trafficking is punishable in Switzerland by up to 20 years' imprisonment.

I

Incall

Booking format in which the meeting takes place at the escort's location, in a hotel room or apartment booked by her. The client travels to the escort. Counterpart: Outcall. On gingr.ch, the time window for Incall bookings ranges from 15 minutes to 12 hours. The exact address is communicated only after booking confirmation and in coordination with the escort, to preserve her discretion.

Independent Escort

Escort who works independently without an agency and handles all tasks herself: marketing, client communication, selection, and security. The entire fee remains with the escort; in return, the organisational effort is higher than under agency operation.

K

Kamasutra

Classical Indian treatise on the art of love, life wisdom, and sexuality, written between the 2nd and 4th centuries CE. In modern usage, "Kamasutra" stands symbolically for the variety of sexual positions and a consciously shaped, sensual love practice. As a Kamasutra service, gingr.ch refers to a booking focused on varied positions, sensual staging, and a deliberately decelerated flow. The practice is not strictly prescribed but is understood as a sensual exploration of shared possibilities, often combined with GFE elements. Which specific positions and atmosphere are in focus is arranged individually.

L

Latex and Leather (LL, LLL)

LL stands for Lacquer and Leather, LLL extends the term to include Latex. Both abbreviations refer to material fetishes in which the wearing or touching of shiny, body-hugging materials plays a central erotic role. In escort contexts, escorts state in their profile whether they wear LL or LLL clothing and whether corresponding fetish scenarios are part of their offering. The practice can be combined with roleplay, BDSM, or sensual settings. On gingr.ch, material fetishes are treated as a standalone service option and can be specified in booking communication.

Latex / Leather

Materials used in erotic contexts as fetish objects or as clothing in BDSM practices. The texture, scent, and visual appearance are considered the appeal. See also: Latex and Leather (LL, LLL).

Lesbian Show

Erotic show between two women, typically booked by a male client as a spectator. Among the services frequently listed on escort platforms.

Lingerie (RW)

Lingerie, in the German context known as Reizwäsche (RW), refers to erotically designed underwear aimed at sensual effect. Typical elements include lace, satin, sheer fabrics, garter belts, or corsets. In escort contexts, lingerie is often part of the staging of a booking and can be specified by request in the profile. Some escorts state in their profile which types of lingerie they wear or have available. On gingr.ch, lingerie is not a standalone service but an outfitting element that helps shape the atmosphere and character of a booking.

Long Booking

Booking spanning several hours up to an entire day or weekend. In the escort segment, multi-hour bookings are not unusual; pricing deviates from the hourly rate and is agreed individually.

M

MMF, FFM, MFM (Threesome Constellations)

The abbreviations MMF, FFM, and MFM denote different threesome constellations. MMF stands for two men and one woman, FFM for two women and one man, MFM describes a constellation in which one woman is active with two men who have no contact with each other. The order of the letters often indicates who is at the centre of the dynamic. In escort contexts, threesomes are often organised as a duo booking with two escorts (FFM) or as a couples booking with one escort (MMF). On gingr.ch, each escort decides individually whether she participates in threesome constellations.

N

Nipple Play

Targeted sexual stimulation of the nipples with fingers, lips, the tongue, or with toys such as nipple clamps, suckers, or feathers. The practice can range from gentle touches to more intense BDSM-leaning stimulation. The sensitivity of the nipples varies greatly between individuals, which makes Nipple Play a finely tunable service. On gingr.ch, many escorts offer Nipple Play as part of sensual bookings, some also in more intense BDSM-oriented form. Specific intensity, tools used, and personal limits are discussed individually.

No-Show

Failure of a client to appear despite a confirmed booking and without prior cancellation. Causes loss of time and earnings for the escort. As a safeguard, many escorts request a deposit or rely on references.

Non-Smoker (NR)

Non-Smoker, in the German context abbreviated NR, is often listed in escort profiles as a lifestyle indication or as a preference regarding clients. Some escorts only book with non-smokers; others provide smoke-free environments for Incall bookings. The information is relevant to clients who value a particular atmosphere. On gingr.ch, "Non-Smoker" is not a standalone service but a profile attribute that may appear in self-description or filter options.

Nuru Massage

Erotic massage form of Japanese origin in which a gel-like substance based on algae (Nuru gel) is used. The masseuse and the client are unclothed; the gel is odourless, tasteless, and enables extremely slippery, full-body, body-to-body movements. Nuru Massage differs from classic Body-to-Body Massage through the specific substance and the more intensely gliding dynamic. It typically ends with manual release; intercourse is not part of the service by definition. On gingr.ch, individual escorts with relevant experience and equipment offer Nuru Massages. Suitable premises and preparatory hygiene are prerequisites.

O

Oil Massage (ÖM)

Oil Massage, in the German context abbreviated ÖM, refers to a massage using aromatic or neutral oil that often serves as a sensual entry into an escort booking or is offered as a standalone service. The oil massage combines classic massage elements with a full-body, body-close component and often transitions into B2B or more intimate dynamics. On gingr.ch, many escorts offer Oil Massage as part of a GFE or as an introductory service. The specific arrangement, oil choice, and intensity are agreed individually.

Oral Sex (OV)

Oral Sex, in the German context abbreviated OV (Oralverkehr), refers to sexual stimulation of the genitals with the mouth and tongue. Oral sex covers both stimulation of the male (Fellatio) and the female (Cunnilingus) anatomy. In escort profiles, oral sex is often further differentiated by with or without condom, with or without finish, and by active or passive role. Active denotes the person performing the stimulation, passive the person receiving. On gingr.ch, oral sex is among the standard services offered by most escorts in various variants.

Outcall

Booking format in which the escort travels to the client, usually to a hotel room booked by the client or to the client's home. Travel costs are often charged separately. Outcall is the most common form in classical escort service. On gingr.ch, the time window for Outcall bookings ranges from 30 minutes to 12 hours.

Outdoor Sex

Collective designation for sexual encounters at unusual locations: in nature, in a car, at viewpoints, or in other non-everyday settings. The appeal lies in the unfamiliar environment and in the break from classical indoor staging. To be distinguished from Dogging, which deliberately seeks semi-public, observable locations; Outdoor Sex at unusual locations deliberately moves within legally permissible bounds and avoids public visibility. On gingr.ch, few escorts offer this service, since planning, safety, and discretion require particular effort. Specific locations and conditions are arranged directly with the escort.

Overnight

Booking spanning the night, typically 10–14 hours. Course and included services are agreed individually in advance. The price is significantly higher than the hourly rate.

OWO (Oral Without)

OWO stands for "Oral Without" and refers to oral sex without condom. The practice is an individual service option that escorts can include or exclude in their profile. OWO is among the services for which safer-sex considerations are particularly important and which are therefore decided deliberately by each escort. On gingr.ch, OWO is shown transparently in profiles so that clients have clear information at booking. The platform relies on transparent communication between escorts and clients to enable an informed decision.

P

Partner Swap (PT) and Swingers Club (SC)

Partner Swap, in the German context abbreviated PT, refers to a sexual practice in which couples swap partners with each other. The term is rooted in the swinger context and is typically practised in Swingers Clubs (SC), which function as semi-public venues for consensual partner swapping. Swinger practices and escort services are two different worlds: in the swinger context the focus is on mutual exchange between couples, in the escort context it is a professional service. On gingr.ch, PT and SC are not direct service categories but relevant context terms for clients wanting to understand the differences.

Party

Accompaniment to private celebrations, closed events, or social occasions, often combined with an intimate component. In contrast to the Dinner Date, the focus is on a more active, often longer setting with multiple participants or a lively atmosphere. Party bookings usually require detailed coordination regarding dress code, role at the event, and desired behaviour towards other guests. On gingr.ch, individual escorts offer this service with correspondingly extended time windows. The price is above classic hourly bookings due to duration and preparation.

Pegging

Sexual practice in which a woman anally penetrates a man using a strap-on. The term was coined in 2001 by US author Dan Savage. A frequent motive is stimulation of the male prostate. Pegging is often booked in the context of Female Domination or as a specific wish within a GFE. On gingr.ch, individual escorts offer Pegging as a standalone service.

Pimping

Punishable offence under Art. 195 of the Swiss Penal Code: the exploitation, recruitment, or influencing of a person to enter or continue prostitution through pressure, deception, or economic dependency. To be distinguished from the legal intermediation activity of a platform or agency that does not control the person practising and does not engage in exploitation.

Porn

Watching pornographic content together as part of a booking. The shared experience can serve as an arousing entry, as a source of inspiration for staging, or as a standalone setting in voyeuristic contexts. The practice is thematically close to voyeurism and the Pornstar Experience but differs in that external content co-directs the focus. On gingr.ch, individual escorts state whether they integrate this form of shared arousal into their offering. Which content is consumed is agreed in advance by consent.

POV (Point of View)

POV stands for "Point of View" and originally comes from pornography, where it refers to scenes shot from a protagonist's perspective. In escort contexts, POV is occasionally used as a reference term, for example when clients want a particular dynamic or camera perspective (e.g. in photographic settings). The term is not a standalone escort service but a stylistic reference that occasionally appears in communication between clients and escorts. On gingr.ch, specific wishes and stagings are arranged individually in booking communication.

Prostitution

Providing sexual acts in exchange for payment. Legal in Switzerland, provided it is voluntary and without exploitation. To be distinguished from forced prostitution and human trafficking. In newer contexts, the term Sex Work is increasingly used.

PSE (Pornstar Experience)

The Pornstar Experience, abbreviated PSE, refers to a more intense, more explicit escort experience whose dynamic recalls pornography stagings. In contrast to GFE, the focus of PSE is not on partner-like closeness but on a direct, pleasure-focused, and often more theatrical staging. Typical elements are more explicit positions, dirty talk, and a deliberately performative dynamic. On gingr.ch, individual escorts offer PSE as a standalone experience or in combination with other services. Which specific elements are included varies individually and is specified in the profile or in booking communication.

Punter / Client (Freier)

Person who pays for sexual services. The German term "Freier" derives etymologically from "freien" (to court, to marry). Common alternatives are Client or Customer. According to studies, no uniform social profile exists.

Pussy Licking (Cunnilingus)

Oral sexual act on the female genitals, technical term Cunnilingus. The practice includes stimulation of the clitoris, vulva, and, where relevant, the vaginal entrance with tongue and lips. In escort contexts, Pussy Licking is listed as a standalone service option, since not all escorts offer this form of intimacy within a booking. The practice is often combined as part of a GFE or in sensual bookings. Hygiene standards and individual preferences are transparently communicated in the profile or in booking communication.

Q

Quickie

A Quickie refers to a short, spontaneous escort booking without an extended foreplay phase. The term derives from "quick" and refers to the shortened time in which a booking unfolds. On gingr.ch, Quickie bookings are typically placed in the shortest time tier (from 15 minutes for Incall) and are aimed at clients seeking an uncomplicated, focused appointment. Despite the short time, the choice of escort, the agreement on services, and adherence to all safer-sex standards remain essential. A Quickie is not a qualitative restriction but a time-format option.

R

RACK and SSC

RACK and SSC are the two central ethical framework concepts of the BDSM community. SSC stands for Safe, Sane, Consensual and emphasises that BDSM practices should be exercised safely, with a clear mind, and consensually. RACK extends this framework: Risk-aware Consensual Kink acknowledges that some practices carry a residual risk that cannot be fully eliminated and emphasises informed awareness of these risks. Both concepts are foundational for serious BDSM practice. On gingr.ch, escorts offering BDSM orient themselves to these principles, which serve as a basis for consensual and safe experiences.

Rimming

Oral sexual act on the anus, in which one partner licks or penetrates the anus of the other with the tongue. Also called Anilingus. Hygiene is central; the risk of bacterial transmission can be reduced through dental dams. On gingr.ch, individual escorts list Rimming as a standalone service, either active (escort stimulates) or passive (escort is stimulated).

Roleplay (RP)

Erotic play in which persons take on fictional roles, in the German context often abbreviated RS (Rollenspiel). Classic scenarios include boss and secretary, doctor and patient, or teacher and student. Can be combined with BDSM elements. Roleplay can incorporate costumes, props, and prepared narratives. On gingr.ch, many escorts offer Roleplay as a standalone service or as part of more comprehensive GFE or BDSM packages. The specific scenarios, limits, and wishes are agreed before the booking, to enable a coherent staging.

Rough Sex

Designation for more intense, physically more forceful sexual practices that go beyond the classic vanilla dynamic. Typical elements are firmer thrusts, targeted slaps, firmer holds, more dominant speech, and physically more demanding positions. To be distinguished from BDSM: Rough Sex generally moves without structured power rituals, bondage, or defined roles, remaining an intensified variant of consensual intercourse. On gingr.ch, escorts familiar with this dynamic offer this service. Clear agreements, safewords, and respect for physical limits are central here as well.

S

Scat Sex

Sexual practices involving faeces (coprophilia), also referred to as Scat. The practice belongs to the niche fetishes and is offered only very rarely in sex work. From a hygienic and health perspective, considerable risks exist: transmission paths for bacteria, parasites, and pathogens are significantly increased. On gingr.ch, Scat Sex is not a common service; individual escorts may, upon direct enquiry, indicate whether such scenarios are possible at all. The legal assessment is uncritical within a consensual framework between adults; however, health caution and particularly careful agreements are imperative.

Sex Slave

Designation for the submissive role in a pronounced BDSM dynamic, in which the submissive person largely transfers control, decisions, and scope of action to the dominant person. In escort contexts, the client typically takes on the slave role while the escort acts as Dominatrix. Sex Slave scenarios range from soft variants with verbal dominance and light restrictions to more intense settings with bondage, services, and ritualised routines. Prerequisites are a clearly defined framework, safewords, and mutual trust. On gingr.ch, individual escorts offer this service in various intensity levels, tailored to the client's experience and wishes.

Sex Work

Umbrella term for consensual sexual or sexualised services between adults for payment. The term was coined in 1978 by Carol Leigh to emphasise the service character and reduce the stigmatisation associated with the term Prostitution. Encompasses escort work, brothel work, dominatrix activity, striptease, and other forms.

Sex Work Law (Switzerland)

Sex work is legal at the federal level in Switzerland. Regulation occurs at the cantonal level; individual cantons require permits, registration obligations, or health counselling. Street prostitution bans exist in certain zones. Operating and using escort services is legal, provided voluntariness is given and no exploitation takes place.

Short Booking

Booking over a short time span, typically one to two hours. For Incall, minimum times often start at 30 minutes; for Outcall, at 60 minutes, as travel and setup are factored in.

Sissy / Lingerie Cross-Wearer (DWT)

In the German context abbreviated DWT (Damenwäscheträger), refers to men who experience the wearing of women's underwear as an erotic or fetishistic expression. The fetish can be practised as part of roleplay, a submissive practice, or as a standalone expression of pleasure. In escort bookings, DWT/sissy is most often situated in the context of roleplay or dominance scenarios in which the escort takes on the dominant role. Individual escorts offer corresponding scenarios as a niche service. The specific arrangement is agreed individually in the profile or in booking communication.

Sixty-Nine (69)

The number 69 refers to a sex position in which both partners simultaneously perform oral sex on each other. The name derives from the visual arrangement of the two bodies, which together resemble the shape of the number. The position is among the best-known forms of mutual stimulation and appears in escort bookings most often in the context of oral services. It is frequently offered in profile descriptions as part of a broader oral repertoire. Whether an escort takes 69 into her service portfolio is her own decision.

Soft BDSM

Gentle introduction to BDSM practices: light bondage, blindfolds, verbal dominance. Pain elements are not in the foreground. A frequent entry point for people without BDSM experience.

Squirting

Discharge of fluid from a woman's urethra during sexual arousal or orgasm. The fluid is a mixture of bladder content and secretions from the Skene's glands, and is not identical to urine. Squirting occurs differently from person to person and is not an indicator of orgasm quality.

Strap-on

A dildo worn around the hips that enables penetration without a penis. A central tool in pegging, but also used in other contexts. On gingr.ch, individual escorts offer Strap-on services, typically within dominant roles or on request in couples bookings. The specific models, hygiene standards, and use variants are agreed individually.

Striptease

Erotic undressing as a choreographed staging, often to music and with a deliberate play between concealment and revelation. In the escort context, Striptease as a service is an independently bookable format that can extend and atmospherically charge the entry into a booking, or function as a highlight at private occasions. The staging can include outfits, props, and deliberate choreography, depending on the escort's experience and style. To be distinguished from the profession of Stripper: in the escort context, Striptease is a partial service that can transition seamlessly into a broader booking dynamic. Specific wishes regarding music, clothing, and flow are agreed before the booking.

Stripper

Person whose profession is erotic undressing (Striptease) at public entertainment venues or at private events. Striptease is a performing art form; sexual services are by definition not part of the profession.

Submissive (Sub)

In BDSM the passive, submitting role (also Bottom or Sub). The submissive person sets the frame of the session through limit-setting and safeword, even while submitting to the Top.

T

Tantra Massage

Full-body massage with a spiritual approach in which the intimate area is also included. Orgasm is not the primary aim. No mutual body contact, no intercourse. Difference from Erotic Massage: Tantra follows a holistic approach; sexual release is a side effect, not the goal.

Tax Obligations for Escorts

Escorts in Switzerland are classified as self-employed for tax purposes. Income from escort activity is subject to income tax and must be declared in the tax return. Depending on turnover, VAT obligations may also apply. Non-declaration is considered tax evasion.

Titty Fuck (TF, BV)

Titty Fuck, abbreviated TF, in the German context also known as Brustverkehr (BV), refers to sexual stimulation between the breasts, in which the penis is moved between the breasts. The practice is typically listed in escort profiles as a supplementary service to a GFE or as a standalone option. Whether an escort offers TF depends individually on her service preferences and is transparently communicated in her profile. TF is among the less explicit services and is frequently booked as part of sensual encounters.

Toys / Sex Toys

Umbrella term for tools for sexual stimulation: vibrators, dildos, anal plugs, handcuffs, and others. Often listed in escort profiles as a supplementary service. See also: Dildo Play (DS), Strap-on.

Transgender (TS)

TS is an older abbreviation that originally stood for "transsexual". The current, respectful designation is "transgender" or "trans". Trans persons identify with a gender other than the one assigned to them at birth. The abbreviation TS still appears in escort contexts, even as terminology is increasingly refined. On gingr.ch, escorts can indicate their gender identity in their profile. The platform respects individual identities and relies on respectful communication. The offering is currently aimed at male clients and female escorts; the spectrum may expand in the future.

Transvestite (TV)

TV stands for Transvestite, a term from older specialist vocabulary that refers to persons who wear clothing socially associated with another gender. The modern and more respectful designation is "Crossdresser". Unlike trans persons, crossdressing is not a statement about gender identity but a practice or expression of style, identity, or sexual preference. In escort contexts, TV occasionally appears in the context of fetish or roleplay scenarios. See also: Crossdressing.

Travel Costs (FK)

Travel Costs, in the German context abbreviated FK (Fahrtkosten), refer to the travel expense share charged by an escort in Outcall bookings. On gingr.ch, travel costs are shown transparently in the price structure and calculated according to distance and effort. Travel costs are part of the total booking costs and are made visible already at booking, so no hidden additional costs arise. The specific amount varies depending on escort, distance to the meeting point, and means of transport. For Incall bookings, i.e. visits to the escort, travel costs generally do not apply.

V

Vanilla

Vanilla describes conventional sex without fetish or BDSM elements. The term originates from the kink community and serves there as a contrast to specific practices. Contrary to possible undertones, vanilla is not pejorative but simply describes the spectrum of classical sex practices without specific fetish components. In escort contexts, the term is used when an escort or a client explicitly seeks a booking without BDSM or fetish elements. On gingr.ch, most escorts offer a broad spectrum that can combine classical and more specific elements by individual arrangement.

Voluntariness

Central legal criterion for lawful sex work in Switzerland. Sex work is considered legal provided it rests on a free decision of the practising person and no economic, emotional, or physical pressure situation exists. If voluntariness is absent, forced prostitution is present, which is punishable.

Voyeurism

Sexual arousal from observing naked or sexually active persons. In the broader sense, the term encompasses any form of pleasure in watching; in the narrower sense, the secret observation without knowledge of those observed, which can become legally relevant. On gingr.ch, Voyeurism is offered by individual escorts as a standalone service.
