GFE, PSE, incall, outcall: a glossary of escort ad terms
GFE, PSE, incall, outcall, privé ontvangst: escort ad terms explained simply, and why an abbreviation never replaces a conversation.
Escort ads use a lot of abbreviations, often in English. Here is what they mean. Above all, remember this: an abbreviation is not a promise. Each person decides what they offer, and everything is discussed before the meeting, by message.
The style of the meeting
GFE (Girlfriend Experience)
The meeting feels like time spent with a partner: conversation, closeness, tenderness, with no visible clock. It is a style, not a list of services: what it includes varies from one person to another.
PSE (Porn Star Experience)
A more intense, more demonstrative style, inspired by adult films. Here too, the term doesn't say exactly what is included: ask, and respect the answer.
Social escort, dinner date
Mostly social companionship: a dinner, an evening, an event. See our discreet dinner and business escort pages.
The place
Incall
The person receives you at home or in a private place. The address comes from the person themselves, once the meeting is agreed.
Outcall
The person comes to your home or hotel. Travel costs may be added depending on the distance: they are shown on the profile or agreed by message.
Privé ontvangst
The Flemish expression for private incall. You will see it on ads in Flanders and Brussels: see our private incall escorts page.
The duration
Overnight
A meeting that lasts the whole night, often with a dinner or an evening first. The rate is usually a flat fee; agree on arrival and departure times.
Travel, touring
"Travel": the person comes with you on a trip. "Touring": they spend a few days in a city other than their own and receive clients there. See our travel escort page.
Other common terms
Duo
A meeting with two people at the same time, if both offer it.
Extras
Services on top of the base rate. They are agreed clearly before the meeting, never on the spot.
Tantra, nuru
Two massage styles: tantra, slow and centred on breathing; nuru, a body-to-body massage with a gel. See our massage page.
Verified
On Secret-Experience, the "Verified" badge means the person has confirmed their identity with an ID document and a selfie, and that their photos are really theirs.
What is not negotiable
Consent applies to every practice and can be withdrawn at any time. Protected sex is the norm: never ask for unprotected practices. For an STI test or information on sexually transmitted infections, go to a testing centre or your doctor. And if you witness exploitation, the contact point for victims of human trafficking is stophumantrafficking.be, on 078 05 58 00.
