From a legal perspective, escort agencies claim that they are dispatching these individuals to provide a social or conversational service, since prostitution laws often forbid taking payment for sex or communicating for the purpose of arranging a contract for sexual services.
Advertisements for escort agencies often carefully skirt the legal line, and avoid specifically offering prostitution or sexual services.
This fact in turn is well-known to police and the political powers, who, where prostitution is illegal, usually prefer to act against more visible and problematic street prostitution.
This has been criticized as hypocrisy, especially where governments license and tax the escort agencies.
However, there almost certainly do exist agencies that do go by these laws and do not facilitate prostitution.
Some countries have used a two-pronged attempt of criminalizing street prostitution but permitting or licensing prostitution in brothels or via escort agencies.
