Services glossary
What the words on a profile mean. Venues list services in shorthand, such as GFE, BBBJ, DATY and COB, and each writes the same thing its own way. Here is every one in plain English, 64 terms in all, with a link to who offers it on today’s board.
Experiences
The style of the whole booking, rather than one act in it.
- GFE · Girlfriend experience
- A booking that feels like time with a partner rather than a transaction: kissing, cuddling, conversation and unhurried, affectionate sex. What it takes in varies from house to house, but kissing is almost always part of it.
- See PSE, DFKSee who offers it today →
- PSE · Pornstar experience
- The opposite pace to a GFE: energetic, adventurous and explicit, the way it looks in adult films. It usually takes in more positions and more extras, such as deep throat, dirty talk and finishing on her face or body.
- See GFE, COF, Deep throatSee who offers it today →
Kissing and oral

- Kissing on the lips. Some ladies kiss only lightly, with the mouth closed; open-mouthed kissing is usually listed as DFK. The board’s Kissing filter counts DFK too.
