An erotic Companion, passionate, fiery and feisty, voluptuous and a libertine. These are traits that are carefully honed and selectively shared. Alas, we live in a society where these attributes are not appreciated in a woman. Hence, the screening process held dear by many escorts, Companions and courtesans. Not only do we select clients who want this in a female Companion, but we select clients who genuinely respect this. There is skill and art in erotic expression, which is why volumes have been written about it.

Sometimes the erotic is a playground and one that should never be outgrown, but we should tarry there as long as possible. Other times, it is a dreamscape one where we can explore the forbidden, pushing the boundaries of our imagination and physicality as far as safely possible. Still other times the erotic is transcendent, far beyond the measure of words. Perfect and eternally blissful.
