I 'd say: Working girls/boys: Sex appeal to attract customer. Acting, Diplomacy and Body language to give the customer a good time to get the mto come back. Porn Stars: Sex appeal and Acting. Normal people: Sex Appeal and Body Language and Erotic Art. |

Re: What are practical uses for Erotic Art?
I think that's Performance rather than Acting. Though, since porn stars are notorious for their inability to act, one might contemplate a "presentation" version of Erotic Art, just as there are versions of combat skills which are designed for aesthetic appeal rather than effectiveness. Call it "Erotic Art Art."

Re: What are practical uses for Erotic Art?
I'd say High paid call girls and courtesans probably do have erotic art. As well as sex appeal, Diplomacy, Performance, Body Language. They also need advantages like: fashion sense.
I had a friend who actually worked as one in Canada (where it's legal btw) to get through college... The biggest tippers were the people that expect a paid piece of arm candy to have 'special' skills in bed and out... |

The premise of that thread is actually quite similar to this one here, so it might be worth reading ... (I haven't done it yet, though.) Regards Ts |

I would suspect that most prostitutes, like most porn stars, don't need it: the typical john only really requires a basic "insert tab A into slot B" service, so no technical skill is required. However, the trained skill to make said service as effective and stimulating as possible definitely comes under Erotic Art, and those working girls/boys who have invested points in it can provide a more expensive service that gets the highest-paying customers coming back. Looking at Kromm's post, my thoughts are that the distinction between your LTR partner's ability to stimulate you and a sex-professional's ability to stimulate you is that your partner has learned with you, figuring out by experiment and communication what it is that works best for the two of you together; this could arguably be represented (if - God forbid - it required modelling in any roleplaying game) by a familiarity bonus to the default roll. A skilled professional knows the techniques that work best for everyone, in a detailed and impersonal way, and can quickly identify the best techniques for any subject, because she/he has learned them in a disciplined way.

Judging from what's available, it seems that porn-watchers don't want to see a range of interestingly different sex acts; they're after variety in the performers and setting. Most low-end porn stars probably get by with default rolls. |
