Escort Glossary: Terms & Definitions

 

A

 

69 (Sixty-Nine)

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

 

Agency (Escort Agency)

Intermediary business that connects escorts and clients. The agency handles marketing, communication, and booking coordination; escorts work as independent contractors, not employees. The commission is typically 30 to 40 percent of the fee.

 

Anal Sex (AS, AV)

Anal sex refers to penetrative sexual activity at the anus. The abbreviation AS is common in English-speaking escort contexts; AV (Analverkehr) is used in German. On gingr.ch, anal sex is one of the services that escorts can individually include in or exclude from their profile. Whether an escort offers anal sex, 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. Those who want to book this service find the option in the service filters and can select it directly during booking.

 

Anonymity / Discretion

Anonymity refers to the state in which a person's identity is not known. Discretion refers to the deliberate protection of confidential information about a person or a meeting. In the escort context, both concepts are central: clients and escorts have a mutual interest in keeping names, contact details, and encounters from reaching the outside world.

 

 

B

 

BDSM

Acronym for Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadism & Masochism. An umbrella term for consensual sexual practices involving power, submission, restraint, and pleasurable pain. The guiding principle is SSC: Safe, Sane, Consensual, supported by a safeword. An extended ethical framework is RACK (Risk-aware Consensual Kink), which emphasises informed risk awareness for more intense practices.

 

Bisexual (Bi)

Bisexual, abbreviated Bi, describes a sexual orientation in which romantic or sexual attraction may extend to more than one gender. In escort contexts, the abbreviation "bi" often appears on profiles when an escort indicates that she is open to bookings with couples or other women. The specific interpretation and service offering remain with each escort. Bisexuality is a sexual orientation in its own right and is independent of individual booking contexts.

 

Blowjob (BJ)

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

 

Body-to-Body (BtB, B2B)

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

 

Bondage

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

 

Booking

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

 

 

C

 

Callgirl

Outdated term for a sex worker booked by telephone who makes visits or receives visitors. The term has largely been replaced by "escort" and carries a stronger connotation of prostitution than the more modern term.

 

Cancellation

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

 

CIM (Cum in Mouth)

CIM stands for "Cum in Mouth" and refers to ejaculation into the mouth during oral sex. On escort profiles, CIM is a distinct service option that escorts can individually offer or exclude. Some profiles further distinguish CIM with or without swallowing. Whether and under what conditions an escort lists CIM as a service is her own decision. All services on gingr.ch rest on consent and informed agreements.

 

COB (Cum on Body, Körperbesamung)

COB stands for "Cum on Body" (in German: Körperbesamung, KB) and refers to ejaculation on the partner's body at the end of a sexual act. The practice is one of the service variants that escorts can individually include in their offering. On gingr.ch, COB often appears in profiles as an alternative or complement to other ejaculation variants. Whether and under which conditions an escort lists COB as a service is her personal decision and is transparently communicated. All services require mutual consent and adherence to hygiene standards.

 

Crossdressing

Wearing clothing that goes against the socially assigned gender role. Motivations range from personal style to erotic stimulation and the expression of a gender identity. Crossdressing is not the same as transgender identity. The older term transvestite (TV) is used synonymously.

 

Cuckolding

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

 

 

D

 

Deepthroat (DT)

Term for an oral sexual act in which the penis is introduced deep into the throat, often abbreviated DT. The practice requires specific technique and relaxation and is not offered by all escorts. In profiles, DT is often listed as a distinct service option because it goes beyond a standard BJ. Whether and to what intensity an escort practises DT is transparently communicated.

 

Dirty Talk

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

 

Dogging

Dogging refers to sexual acts in outdoor settings, often in semi-public places such as car parks, forest edges, or secluded corners. The practice combines the appeal of the outdoor setting with an exhibitionist component, consciously incorporating the possibility of being observed by third parties. Dogging is not legally unproblematic: exhibitionist behaviour in publicly accessible places can be punishable in Switzerland (Art. 194 StGB, Swiss Criminal Code). On gingr.ch, outdoor settings are offered by a few escorts as a niche service, with a clear demarcation from legally permissible conditions.

 

Domina

Woman who offers, in return for payment, BDSM practices with sadistic-dominant elements. Dominas are generally self-employed sex workers and work in SM studios or as escorts. The term is derived from the Latin domina (mistress).

 

Dominance / Dominant (Dom)

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

 

Double Penetration (DP)

Double penetration, DP for short, refers to the simultaneous penetration of two body openings. In escort contexts, DP is typically offered as part of bookings with two escorts or in three-person configurations. The practice requires a high level of physical coordination and is selectively offered by escorts. On gingr.ch, each escort decides individually whether and under what conditions she includes DP in her offering. The service filters of the platform allow a targeted search.

 

 

E

 

Escort

Term 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 is distinguished from classical prostitution by discretion, minimum booking times, and a more upmarket setting.

 

Escort Dinner

Social accompaniment for a dinner without sexual services. Corresponds to the original concept of the escort service as discreet accompaniment at social occasions.

 

Escorting

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

 

 

F

 

Facesitting

Sexual practice in which one person sits on the face of another. Enables oral or breath-control play and often appears in combination with dominance elements. On gingr.ch, a few escorts offer facesitting as a distinct service, often in the context of Female Domination scenarios.

 

Fetish

Sexual fixation on an object, a body part, or a situation that is necessary for arousal or satisfaction or strongly enhances it. Fetishes are not pathological as long as there is no suffering and no one is harmed.

 

Fingering

Manual stimulation of the vagina or anus with the fingers. Established escort-context term.

 

Fisting

Sexual practice in which the entire hand is inserted into the vagina or anus. Requires thorough preparation, ample lubricant, and complete trust between the people involved.

 

Foot Fetish (FE)

Foot fetish refers to a sexual preference in which feet are the centre of erotic attention. The practice can range from mere observation to massages and kisses and 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 indicate in their profile whether and in what form they offer foot services. Specific practices are arranged individually. In German also abbreviated as FE (Fussfetisch).

 

Footjob

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

 

French Kiss (DFK)

Tongue kissing, also known as Deep French Kiss (DFK). In escort contexts, listed as a distinct service because not all escorts offer this form of intimacy. The kiss is regarded in escort contexts as an especially personal gesture and is communicated accordingly.

 

Full Service (FS)

Full Service, abbreviated FS, is an umbrella term for a comprehensive escort offering that typically includes GFE elements, oral sex, and intercourse. The term is not uniformly defined and varies in its specific interpretation from escort to escort. On gingr.ch, "Full Service" is not booked as a flat package; instead, each escort individually specifies which services she offers. Important note: the abbreviation FS is also used in escort contexts for Facesitting. Which meaning is intended becomes clear from the context of the profile.

 

 

G

 

Gang Bang (GB)

Term for a sexual act in which one person has intercourse simultaneously or successively with multiple partners. The practice requires particular organisational and hygienic conditions and is only offered by a few escorts. On gingr.ch, each escort decides individually whether she accepts gang bang bookings and under what conditions. The arrangement typically takes place directly with the escort, as the planning goes beyond a standard booking.

 

GFE (Girlfriend Experience)

Term for an escort date with emotional closeness that goes beyond purely physical services. It includes conversation, shared activities, affection, and intimacy on equal terms. Typical elements of a GFE are kisses, a shared meal, longer conversations, and a relaxed, unscripted dynamic. GFE bookings are generally more expensive than standard dates and are especially suited to longer formats such as dinner dates or overnight meetings.

 

Group Sex (GS)

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

 

 

H

 

Handjob (HJ)

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

 

Hard BDSM

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

 

Human Trafficking

Criminal offence under Art. 182 StGB (Swiss Criminal Code): the recruitment, brokering, or taking in of people for the purpose of sexual exploitation, in particular through deception, coercion, or exploitation of hardship. To be clearly distinguished from voluntary sex work. Human trafficking is punishable in Switzerland with a custodial sentence of up to 20 years.

 

 

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 protect her discretion.

 

Independent Escort

Escort who works without an agency and takes on all tasks herself: marketing, client communication, selection, and safety. The entire revenue stays with the escort; in return, the organisational effort is higher than in agency work.

 

 

L

 

Latex / Leather

Materials used in an erotic context as fetish objects or as clothing in BDSM practices. The feel, the smell, and the visual appearance are considered stimuli. See also: Patent Leather and Leather (LL, LLL).

 

Lesbian Show

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

 

Lingerie (RW, Reizwäsche)

Lingerie refers to erotically designed underwear aimed at sensual effect. Typical elements are lace, satin, transparent fabrics, suspenders, or corsets. In escort contexts, lingerie is often used as part of the staging of a booking and can be specified on request in the profile. Individual escorts indicate in their profile what kinds of lingerie they wear or have available. On gingr.ch, lingerie is not a standalone service but a styling element that shapes the atmosphere and character of a booking. The German abbreviation RW (Reizwäsche) is used synonymously.

 

Long-Term Booking

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

 

M

 

Massage, Erotic

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

 

MMF, FFM, MFM (Three-Person Configurations)

The codes MMF, FFM, and MFM refer to different three-person configurations. MMF stands for two men and one woman, FFM for two women and one man, MFM describes a configuration 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, three-person bookings are often arranged as duo bookings with two escorts (FFM) or as couple bookings with one escort (MMF). On gingr.ch, each escort decides individually whether she takes part in three-person configurations.

 

 

N

 

No-Show

Failure of a client to appear despite a confirmed booking and without prior cancellation. Results in lost time and lost fees for the escort. As a safeguard, many escorts require a deposit or rely on references.

 

Non-Smoker (NS, NR)

Non-Smoker refers to a person who does not smoke and often appears in escort profiles as information about lifestyle or as a preference in client interactions. Some escorts only take bookings with non-smokers, others offer smoke-free environments for Incall bookings. The information is relevant for 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 in filter options. In German abbreviated NR (Nichtraucher).

 

 

O

 

Oil Massage (ÖM)

Oil massage, abbreviated ÖM in German, refers to a massage with aromatic or neutral oil, often serving as a sensual introduction to an escort booking or offered as a standalone service. The oil massage combines classical massage elements with a whole-body, body-close component and often flows into a B2B dynamic or something more intimate. On gingr.ch, many escorts offer oil massage as part of a GFE or as an opening service. The specific setup, choice of oil, and intensity are arranged individually.

 

Oral Sex (OV)

Oral sex refers to the sexual stimulation of the genitals with the mouth and tongue. Oral sex includes both the stimulation of the male (fellatio) and the female (cunnilingus) genitals. In escort profiles, oral sex is often further differentiated as with or without condom, with or without finishing, and by active or passive role. Active refers to the person performing the oral stimulation, passive to the person receiving it. On gingr.ch, oral sex is one of the standard services that most escorts offer in various forms. In German abbreviated OV (Oralverkehr).

 

Outcall

Booking format in which the escort travels to the client, usually to a hotel room booked by the client or to his 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.

 

Overnight

Booking over the night, typically 10 to 14 hours. Course of the date and included services are arranged individually in advance. The price is considerably above 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 offer or exclude in their profile. OWO is one of the services where safer-sex considerations are particularly important and which are therefore consciously decided by each escort. On gingr.ch, OWO is transparently indicated in profiles, so that clients have clear information at the time of booking. The platform relies on transparent communication between escorts and bookers to enable an informed decision.

 

 

P

 

Partner Swap (PT) and Swingers Club (SC)

Partner swap, in German Partnertausch (PT), refers to a sexual practice in which couples exchange partners. The term is rooted in the swinger context and is typically practised in swingers clubs, in German Swingerclub (SC), which function as semi-public event venues for consensual partner exchange. Swinger practices and escort services are two different worlds: in the swinger context, it is about mutual exchange between couples, in the escort context about a professional service. On gingr.ch, PT and SC are not direct service categories, but relevant context terms for clients who want to understand the differences.

 

Patent Leather and Leather (LL, LLL)

LL stands for the German Lack und Leder (patent leather and leather); LLL extends the term to include latex. Both codes refer to material fetishes in which the wearing or touching of glossy, body-hugging materials plays a central erotic role. In escort contexts, escorts indicate 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 listed as a distinct service option and can be specified in booking communication.

 

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 motivation is the stimulation of the male prostate. Pegging is often booked in the context of Female Domination or as a specific request within a GFE. On gingr.ch, some escorts offer pegging as a standalone service.

 

Pimping (Procurement)

Criminal offence under Art. 195 StGB (Swiss Criminal Code): the exploitation, recruitment, or influencing of a person to enter or remain in prostitution by pressure, deception, or economic dependence. To be distinguished from the legal intermediary activity of a platform or agency that exercises no control over the person practising and does not engage in exploitation.

 

POV (Point of View)

POV stands for "Point of View" and originally comes from pornography, where it refers to scenes shot from the perspective of a protagonist. In escort contexts, POV is occasionally used as a reference, for instance when clients want a particular dynamic or camera perspective (such as in photographic settings). The term is not a distinct 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

Provision of sexual acts in return for payment. Legal in Switzerland as long as it is voluntary and without exploitation. To be distinguished from forced prostitution and human trafficking. In more recent 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 is reminiscent of pornography stagings. In contrast to GFE, the focus of PSE is not partnership-like closeness but a direct, pleasure-centred, and often more theatrical staging. Typical elements are more explicit positions, dirty talk, and a deliberately performative dynamic. On gingr.ch, some 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.

 

 

Q

 

Quickie

A quickie refers to a short, spontaneous escort booking without an extended foreplay phase. The term comes from "quick" and refers to the reduced time in which a booking takes place. On gingr.ch, quickie bookings are typically positioned in the shortest time slot (starting from 15 minutes for Incall) and address clients who are looking for an uncomplicated, targeted meeting. Despite the short time, the choice of escort, the discussion of services, and adherence to all safer-sex standards remain essential. A quickie is not a quality limitation 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 carried out safely, with a clear mind, and by consent. 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 fundamental to serious BDSM practice. On gingr.ch, BDSM-offering escorts orient themselves to these principles, which serve as the basis for consensual and safe experiences.

 

Rimming

Oral sexual act at the anus, in which one partner licks the other's anus or penetrates it with the tongue. Also called anilingus. Hygiene is central; the risk of bacterial transmission can be reduced by dental dams. On gingr.ch, some escorts offer rimming as a standalone service, either active (escort stimulates) or passive (escort is stimulated).

 

Roleplay (RP, RS)

Erotic play in which people take on fictional roles, often abbreviated RP in English and RS (Rollenspiel) in German. Classic scenarios are boss and secretary, doctor and patient, or teacher and student. Can be combined with BDSM elements. Roleplays may involve costumes, props, and prepared narratives. On gingr.ch, many escorts offer roleplay as a standalone service or as part of broader GFE or BDSM packages. Specific scenarios, boundaries, and wishes are arranged before the booking to allow a coherent staging.

 

 

S

 

Sex Toys (DS)

Umbrella term for aids for sexual stimulation: vibrators, dildos, anal plugs, handcuffs, and others. Often listed in escort profiles as a complementary service. In the German context also referred to as Dildospiele (DS) when specifically involving dildo play. See also: Strap-on.

 

Sex Work

Umbrella term for consensual sexual or sexualised services between adults in return for payment. The term was coined in 1978 by Carol Leigh to emphasise the service character and reduce the stigmatisation carried by the term prostitution. Includes escort, brothel work, domina activities, striptease, and other forms.

 

Sex Work Law Switzerland

Sex work is legal in Switzerland at the federal level. Regulation takes place at the cantonal level; individual cantons require authorisations, registration obligations, or health consultations. Street prostitution bans exist in certain zones. The operation and use of escort services are legal, provided that voluntariness is given and no exploitation takes place.

 

Soft BDSM

Gentle introduction to BDSM practices: light restraints, blindfolds, verbal dominance. Pain elements are not at the forefront. Frequent entry point for people without BDSM experience.

 

Squirting

Release 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 in individually varying ways and is not an indicator of orgasm quality.

 

Strap-on (UD)

A dildo attached with a harness around the hips, in German called Umschnalldildo (UD). Allows penetration without a penis. Central aid for pegging, but also used in other contexts. On gingr.ch, some escorts offer strap-on services, typically in the context of dominant roles or on request in couple bookings. Specific models, hygiene standards, and use cases are arranged individually.

 

Stripper

Person whose profession is erotic undressing (striptease) in 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 safewords, even though she places herself below the Top.

 

Secrecy / Confidentiality

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

 

 

T

 

Tantric Massage

Full-body massage with a spiritual approach, including the intimate area. Orgasm is not the primary goal. No mutual bodily contact, no intercourse. Difference to erotic massage: tantra pursues a holistic approach; sexual release is a side effect, not a goal.

 

Titfuck (TF, BV)

Titfuck, in German Brustverkehr (BV) or Tittenfick (TF), refers to sexual stimulation between the breasts, where the male genital is moved between the breasts. The practice is typically listed in escort profiles as a complementary service to a GFE or as a standalone option. Whether an escort offers it depends on her individual service preferences and is transparently communicated in her profile. Titfuck is one of the less explicit services and is often included in the context of sensual encounters.

 

Transgender (TS)

TS is an older abbreviation that originally stood for "transsexual". The current, respectful term is "transgender" or "trans". Trans people identify with a gender different from the one assigned to them at birth. The abbreviation TS continues to appear in escort contexts, even as terminology is increasingly being refined. On gingr.ch, escorts can indicate their gender identity in their profile. The platform respects individual identities and relies on appreciative communication. The offering currently addresses male bookers and female escorts; the spectrum may broaden in the future.

 

Transvestite (TV)

TV stands for transvestite, a term from older specialist language referring to people who wear clothing socially associated with another gender. The modern and more respectful term is "crossdresser". Unlike trans people, 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 connection with fetish or roleplay scenarios. See also: Crossdressing.

 

Travel Costs (FK)

Travel costs, in German Fahrtkosten (FK), refer to the travel fee share that an escort charges for Outcall bookings. On gingr.ch, travel costs are transparently shown in the pricing structure and calculated according to distance and effort. The travel costs are part of the total booking cost and are visible at the time of booking, so that no hidden additional costs arise. The specific amount varies according to escort, distance to the meeting point, and mode of transport. For Incall bookings, where the client visits the escort, travel costs generally do not apply.

 

 

V

 

Vanilla

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

 

Voluntariness

Central legal criterion for legal sex work in Switzerland. Sex work is considered legal as long as it is based on a free decision by the person practising it and there is no economic, emotional, or physical pressure situation. If voluntariness is lacking, it is forced prostitution, which is punishable.

 

Voyeurism

Sexual arousal through observing naked or sexually active people. In the broader sense, the term covers any form of pleasure in watching; in the narrower sense, the secret observation of others without their knowledge, which can become legally relevant.

 

 

W

 

Watersports (WS, NS)

Watersports, abbreviated WS and also known as Golden Shower, refers to sexual practices involving urine. In German called Natursekt (NS). Active refers to urinating on the partner, passive to receiving. Belongs to urophilia and occasionally appears in combination with BDSM. Hygiene, consent, and clear agreements are particularly important in watersports scenarios. On gingr.ch, few escorts offer watersports as a niche service. Specific practices and boundaries are set individually in the profile or in booking communication.
