They are contracted to escort a gentleman. Period. The women are actually advised not to engage in sex (contractually, I actually saw the verbiage) and that anything they choose to do after the contracted time is up to them.

What she learned quickly is that some really just need someone on their arm to attend specific functions. There are those that call for "company". In those cases, she would generally end up having sex with the guy because he'd pay for some hours, but she knew if she just got it over with, she'd be home in less than two.

I remember one specific night, we were out clubbing in the old disco days, and I was waiting for her downstairs in her car on Miami's Brickell Avenue (downtown nouveau super riche). She'd been invited to a party. After about 30 minutes, she called me to come upstairs. I had told her I would not be comfortable with that and she promised me there was no sex involved. There were probably 10 or 15 people there, cutting lines of coke and drinking and laughing. Anyway, we partied for a couple of hours and left. And she got paid by her agency for the whole night.

Anyway, I just thought you should know. It depends on the gentleman's intentions and what the lady is willing to go along with. Granted, it's probably assumed that sex will be involved more times than not, but never ever make assumptions either way.

DISCLAIMER: The above events occurred in a different lifetime and have no likeness to anything beyond the year 1984.

Oh, and that's why Escorts aren't called Prostitutes. Prostitutes are actually hired for sex, escorts are hired for the purpose of escorting. Technically speaking, that is.
