Yes, the term didn't say but it has already become a profession. I bet that China won't make it as legal as Netherlands.

Not a becoming profession is for unbecoming conduct, something with distaste.

Dear Sunnydream, actually I'm learning English and most of the time I would use some proverbs, idioms, sayings, etc. to share with others, if you may observe some of the posts and responses I wrote. We know that the open forum like TCG is not the place to rectify errors in English usage, and experts couldn't be bothered to verify either (as this is not an English language forum) but to me, it's good to share, and I would always welcome comments.

GUEST12145 Although Prostitution or living off the proceeds is illegal in many countries, there are ways and means to get around the laws and the way Prostitution is defined.

For instance, in some countries female escorts are now popular. A man pays for the company of a woman perhaps to go to an "official" function or even to attend a family event where he is expected to have a partner. What happens after the function is a private matter between the man and the escort. They could say there were attracted to each other and this had nothing to do with the original transaction.

It's just another name(s) of prostitute. Even prostitutes don't like to be called prostitutes; they'd prefer Guest Relations Officer (GRO), (Social) Escort, etc.

Wan,

Your Engnlish is excellent in my eyes. We may not write and speak authentic English but we do understand each other. This is communication.

Dear Sunnydream, I'm just a streetwise user who have not the opportunity to study proper English. We are not native English speakers, even they also made blunders and mistakes. I am not surprised if a Malay failed Malay language exam because he is born a Malay, speaks Malay but doesn't mean he speaks the correct standard Malay.

Wan,

It doesn't matter because you don't have to teach English. Communication is the priority. If a British speak noble and authentic English to a guy who is not a native, it will be difficult for him to understand what British guy says.

Queen's English is not difficult to understand, unless a slang like Cockney. Anyway there are some words that we barely see today such as taking forty winks for a nap. Parliamentary words like proposing something, in the House of Common they would say: Mr Speaker sir, I beg to move.

Wan,

Slang words are difficult to understand. I remembered that my oral English teacher once taught us some American slangs. It's so sad that I almost forgot them all.
