Professional Sites

Most Russian women are interested in romantic dating, but some are much more interested in mercenary dating. Russian sites for this are concentrated in Moscow and provide very detailed information on their women, such as :

• Photo/s
• Name/pseudonym
• Age
• Height, Weight
• Breast and/or Dress Size
• Contact data:
  • Telephone number
  • E-mail address
• Residential area and local parking facilities
• Nearest subway station
• Services offered
• Fees :
  • For one/two hours
  • For the whole night
  • At home/outside
• Availability of "friends" for group sessions

Photos show women in varying stages of undress and are usually retouched to a redder/darker hue to make them look appealingly tanned. Only a few of these women appear with their faces out of focus or hidden by masks/strips to conceal their identity, particularly those not operating in Moscow.

These women may be :

• Independent operators (individualki)
• Connected with "relax" institutions (banya, sauna)
• Members of a professional agency

In the absence of explicit indications, the latter case may be often inferred by repetitive telephone numbers shown for contact information in a given site.

Professionals can be subdivided into two main categories:

1. Mid-high level, featuring :
   • Higher fees
   • Professionally-made photos
   • Agreeable to both in and out calls
   • Total tan
   • Shaven pubic hair
   • High-heeled, high-soled shoes
        
     
2. Mid-low level, featuring :
   • Lower fees
   • Amateur, home made-photos
   • Preference for in calls
   • Partial or no tan
   • Pubic hair
   • Normal shoes

Almost all have dyed hair, many with a marked preference for red.

These professionals normally post their profiles, often under different pseudonyms, on several sites for wider exposure and consequently more business opportunities : the farthest-ranging case is that of double dealer Emma Svetlova, with profiles on some twelve different sites.

Some professionals also try their luck, or prepare for retirement, by posting their profiles on dating sites, too, obviously not mentioning their occupation and under different names. A list of such cases can be seen on another page.

A List of Professional Sites

Below is a list of some 160 sites, in decreasing sequence of profiles hosted at the beginning of the year 2004. These sites are mostly in the Russian language (the recurring term dosug means relaxation, diversion, rest) and member rotation occurs very often. Usually these women appear simultaneously on more than one site for higher exposure and better business opportunities.

Abbreviations MSK and SPB mean Moscow and Saint Petersburg, respectively.

These sites are highly dynamic (changes in listed profiles) and volatile : small sites in particular often disappear, change their mission, merge with others, etc. Below is a list of sites active in 2005 and changed in 2007.

Up-to-date lists of these sites can be found in the following directories:

• Russia For You (in English)
• WWW Prostitutki Info (in Russian)
• Top Prostitutki Org (in Russian)
