An interlude with an escort may or may not include sex. The contract is usually for someone to literally escort one to a museum, lunch, dinner, clubbing, the theater, etc. If there's sex, that's by mutual agreement sometime during the period of escorting.
There really is no difference really. Sure, the time thing and escorting to a night out or event are part of it. But really everyone knows what they are really after. Courtesan suits both terms just fine and is classy.
you guys are funny
