gfe

What does gfe mean?

A booking style that mimics dating a girlfriend: kissing, eye contact, cuddling, conversation, maybe dinner first. Less mechanical than a straight transactional booking. The pricing sits at a premium because the emotional labour is the actual product.

"He's not paying for sex, he's paying for GFE — the dinner and the chat matter more than what happens after."

Origin

Popularised on US escort review boards (notably The Erotic Review) in the late 1990s; entered wider culture via Steven Soderbergh's 2009 film 'The Girlfriend Experience'.
