If you have spent any time reading escort profiles, you have run into lines that look like code: BBBJ, CIM, DATY, MSOG, no COF. Nobody explains this shorthand anywhere. It developed on review boards twenty years ago, spread to every directory in the English-speaking world, and is now used as if everyone was handed a dictionary at the door.
This page is that dictionary. Each term below is defined plainly, with a note on what it actually tells you about a provider's boundaries. Where we have a filter for something in the TrystHub catalogue, the term links straight to it.
Why the shorthand exists at all
Two reasons, and both still apply in 2026.
The first is practical. A profile has limited space and a long list of preferences to communicate. Acronyms compress that.
The second reason is legal caution. In the United States, FOSTA-SESTA made platforms liable for content that reads as an explicit offer of sexual services for money. Abbreviations are a hedge — vague enough to be deniable, specific enough that the intended reader understands. That is why an acronym-heavy profile is usually an American one, and why European listings, especially German ones operating under ProstSchG, tend to be far more direct.
Oral and finish acronyms
This is the densest cluster, and the one most people are actually trying to decode.
| Term | Meaning | Notes |
|---|
| BBBJ | Bareback blowjob — oral without a condom | The most common acronym in US listings. Carries real STI risk; see the dedicated page. |
| BBJ / CBJ | Bareback vs covered blowjob | CBJ is the barrier version. Some providers offer only CBJ and say so plainly. |
| CIM | Completion in mouth | Always a separate negotiation from BBBJ. Never assume one implies the other. |
| CIM/S | CIM with swallow | A further step again. Frequently listed as a premium extra. |
| COF / CIF | Completion on face / in face | Same act, two spellings. Often listed as an alternative when CIM is a no. |
| COB | Completion on body | The most commonly offered of the finish options. |
| DATY | Dining at the Y — oral performed on a woman | Reciprocal oral. Some providers offer it, many do not. |
| DATO | The anal equivalent of DATY | Much rarer, usually a fetish-specific listing. |
Session structure and pacing
| Term | Meaning |
|---|
| MSOG | Multiple shots on goal — more than one finish within the booked hour |
| HHR / HH | Half-hour booking |
| FS | Full service |
| Multi-hour | Bookings of two hours or more, usually at a discounted hourly rate |
| OTC / Social | Out-of-town-call or a non-intimate social booking such as a dinner date |
Experience style
These describe tone rather than a menu of acts, which is exactly why they cause so much confusion.
- GFE — girlfriend experience. Warmth, conversation, an unhurried pace. Browse GFE providers.
- PSE — porn star experience. Higher intensity, more performative.
- Companionship — the umbrella term most directories use, covering everything from dinner dates to travel bookings.
None of the three describes a fixed list. We covered where the confusion comes from in PSE vs GFE vs Companionship.
Logistics and booking terms
- Incall — you travel to the provider's location. Outcall — they travel to you. The choice affects price, privacy and logistics more than most first-time clients expect; full breakdown in Incall vs Outcall.
- Screening — the verification a provider does on you before agreeing to meet. Normal, expected, and not negotiable with most experienced providers.
- Deposit — an advance payment, commonly 20–30% of the rate. Standard practice for outcalls and touring providers, and also the most common vector for scams.
- Touring — a provider visiting a city temporarily, usually announced a week or two ahead.
- Duo — a booking with two providers. Ask whether they have worked together before; a genuine duo and two people who met that afternoon are different experiences.
- Provider — the standard neutral term for an escort. Hobbyist — an older review-board term for a regular client, now mostly dated.
Terms worth being careful about
Two acronyms show up in searches often enough to be worth naming directly.
PNP refers to party-and-play — booking that involves drug use. It is illegal, it voids any safety framework you thought you had, and no verified directory will host it. If you see it, that listing is not one to trust.
Taboo is a catch-all that means whatever the individual provider decides it means, and nothing more. It is not a defined service. If a listing uses it, ask what they actually mean before assuming anything.
How to use any of this in practice
Three rules will save you most of the awkwardness.
Nothing on a profile is automatic. A listed service means the provider is open to discussing it, not that it is included by default. Confirm in advance, politely, once.
Terms are not standardised. The same acronym can mean slightly different things to two providers in the same city. Where it matters, use the full phrase rather than the abbreviation.
Absence is a boundary. If something is not listed, treat that as a no rather than as an invitation to ask twice. The client etiquette guide covers the rest of the ground rules.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to use acronyms when I message a provider?
No, and most providers would rather you did not. Plain language reads as more considered and leaves less room for misunderstanding. The shorthand exists for listings, not for conversation.
Why do some directories ban this terminology?
Platforms operating under US law restrict anything that reads as an explicit offer of sexual services in exchange for money. That is a FOSTA-SESTA compliance decision, not a judgement about the acts themselves.
Are these terms the same in the UK, Canada and Germany?
Roughly, in English-language listings. German directories are far more direct and use their own vocabulary, since sex work there is a regulated profession and the legal pressure to speak in code simply is not there.
What if a listing uses an acronym that is not here?
Ask. A provider explaining their own terms is a normal exchange, and an unwillingness to explain is itself informative.
This glossary is informational. TrystHub is a directory for legal companionship services; what any two adults agree to privately is their own business, and nothing here should be read as an offer.

MSOG stands for "multiple shots on goal" — more than one completion within a single booking. Unlike most escort acronyms it describes the shape of a session rather than a specific act, which makes it the one most likely to be misread. Here's what it actually implies about time, rates and expectations.
James Whitaker 4 min Reading time MSOG stands for "multiple shots on goal" — more than one completion within a single booked session. It is borrowed from sports commentary, which tells you roughly how seriously the vocabulary takes itself. Unlike almost every other acronym on a listing, MSOG does not describe an act. It describes the shape of an appointment, and that is why it gets misread more than any other term in the glossary.
What it does not mean
It does not mean unlimited. It does not mean the booked hour extends until you are finished. It does not override the clock, and it does not imply any particular service is included along the way.
What it means, in practice, is that the provider is not treating the first completion as the end of the appointment. If you have booked an hour and there is time remaining, the session continues. If the hour is up, the hour is up.
That distinction is worth sitting with, because the gap between "multiple" and "unlimited" is where most disappointment lives. Someone who books thirty minutes and expects MSOG has misunderstood the arithmetic rather than the acronym.
Time is the real variable
| Booking length | Realistic expectation |
|---|
| Half hour (HHR) | MSOG is rarely offered or realistic |
| One hour | Possible where listed; still bounded by the clock |
| Two hours or more | Where MSOG genuinely comes into its own |
| Overnight | Usually assumed rather than listed |
If MSOG matters to you, the effective move is to book longer rather than to negotiate harder. Multi-hour bookings are also usually discounted per hour, so the arithmetic often works in your favour anyway.
How it is priced
Three patterns are common. Some providers include it in the standard rate and say so. Some price it as an extra. Some do not list it at all, which should be read as a no rather than as a blank to be filled in.
Whichever applies, it will be settled before you meet or it will not be settled at all. Raising money mid-session is the surest way to spoil a booking, and it reads as an attempt to renegotiate from a position the provider cannot easily walk away from — which is exactly how it will be received. Our guide to US escort rates covers how pricing normally works.
Related terms you will see nearby
- HHR / HH — half-hour booking. Shortest standard option, and the one least compatible with MSOG.
- FS — full service.
- Multi-hour — two hours or more, typically at a reduced hourly rate.
- Overnight — priced entirely separately and usually requiring established screening.
Frequently asked questions
Does MSOG mean unlimited within the hour?
No. It means more than one is possible within the time booked. The clock still governs.
Is it usually an extra charge?
It varies. Where there is a charge it will be stated on the profile. Where nothing is stated, ask before booking rather than after arriving.
Can I ask for MSOG on a half-hour booking?
You can, and you will mostly be told that the maths does not work. A half hour is a half hour, and it is not a lot of it.
Why do some providers not list it at all?
Because a session is physically demanding work and pacing it is part of doing the job well over a full week. Not listing MSOG is a workload decision, not a slight.
