For sex workers, gift-giving can be a multifaceted problem. On one side, it can be a way for patrons to show gratitude for an escort's effort. However, if not approached with care, gifts can also generate understood or direct expectations about future services, potentially blurring the lines between professional boundaries and personal relationships.

Consent is a key factor in addressing these concerns. Patrons and adult service providers alike must prioritize honest communication and honor each other's limitations. This means agreeing on what forms of favors are permitted, as well as what services are part of the encounter.

Clear expression of thoughts and feelings can help avoid misunderstandings and establish a secure and enjoyable occasion for both parties.

In some cases, gift-giving may be seen as a type of coercion, particularly if an adult service provider feels compelled to receive a favor in order to maintain a relationship with a client. This can be a harmful that undermines the foundations of consent and healthy relationships. Sex workers have the right to refuse presents and clients have the right to accept them; either way, the decision should be based on mutual respect.

Moreover, the power imbalance at play in client-escort interactions must be identified. Adult service providers may be in a vulnerable position, dependent on clients for income, which can bring about difficulty and make it challenging to express limitations.

It's essential to establish a secure space where sex workers feel capable to communicate needs and distress.

Ultimately, the multifaceted nature of gifts in meetings with clients highlights the significance of putting first mutual agreement, valuing and honoring another's wishes, elite courtesans and honest expression in meetings with equals. By doing so, we can foster healthier meetings that emphasize mutual understanding.
