GFE

I'd like this to be answered by an attorney.  I'm an exotic dancer.  Can the term GFE get me in trouble?  I don't want to get in trouble.

he term GFE can get you in serious problems in the following ways:
1.  Never tell one of your customers you are give a GFE when you will not permit him to to dine at the Y.  He can sue you for false advertising.
2.  Never tell the judge you deliver a GFE, as he may ask you to demonstrate on the court clerk.

To avoid problems tell everyone you give a TSE and not a GFE.  TSE = Teasing Stripper Experience.

I think that this guy's pulling your leg.

No client is going to sue you for false advertising; an illegal contract is unenforceable.  (He may, however, give you a poor review!)

You'd better not call yourself a "TSE."  I think that most guys would read this as "Trans-Sexual Experience!"

I don't see how the term "GFE" is any more incriminating than advertising for general services.  First of all, mere "advertising" for sexual services is not illegal; only "solicitation" is (asking someone in particular).  Second, the term "GFE" is so ill-defined that it could mean anything.  It could mean service with a smile, or (in keeping with my actual experiences with girlfriends) it could just mean frigidity and mood swings!  

I say, proudly call yourself a GFE, and let the reviews be your judge!

I'll give you a lawyers response.  What's the context of your use of the acronym?  GFE, by itself, is not the magic words: sex for money.  If you offer sex for money, you have committed a crime.  GFE could be considered "sex" but, as always, it depends.  It does not depend on whether you're an exotic dancer or a plain jane school teacher.

I'm not really sure what you're asking.  If you're an exotic dancer and not an escort or masseusse, then I don't see how you can get in trouble for using the term.  Then again, I also don't understand what good it would do you to use the term if all you do is dance.

Of course, this assumes that you dance in a licensed club and follow the rules.  If you offer your clients some extras or if you dance for clients in their homes, hotels, etc., then you can get in trouble.  This trouble flows from what you doing and not from what you say.

Titilating a man by making him think you are selling sex is legal.  The same type of statement becomes criminal solicitation if you actually intend to go through with it.

This answer probably doesn't sound very sensible, but that is because your question really leaves me guessing how you intend to use the term.

The bottom line, though, is that even for escorts using the term GFE is not likely to make the difference between being arrested and not being arrested.  If the police don't feel they have enough evidence to begin with, seeing you use the term GFE is probably not going to make them believe they do.  If they do have enough evidence, they probably would have had enough even without your using that term.

I hope this helps.
