The main difference between an escort and a prostitute is that an escort provides companionship and emotional support, while a prostitute provides sexual services in exchange for money. Escorts are usually hired for longer periods of time and typically accompany their clients to social events and other activities. Prostitutes usually provide their services for shorter periods of time and only in exchange for money.
Whereas escorts can sometimes provide sexual services, they are not obliged to do so, and are not regarded as sex workers. Prostitution is illegal in most countries and jurisdictions, while escort services are typically legal and regulated.
Adult Malta escorts include adult services, such as companionship, massage, and hand-holding, but these services are usually not considered to be prostitution unless explicit sexual services are also provided.
Malta escort services are typically provided by licensed agencies, and the escorts are legally employed under a contract with the agency.
