Escort does not mean prostitution (the exchange of sex for money).
Not all professional escorts are prostitutes (call girls), since some of them offer superior visual erotic and/or social entertainment only.
A prostitute is a person who engages in sexual activity in exchange for money. Prostitutes can be divided into three broad categories: street prostitutes, brothel prostitutes, and call girls ("out-call" prostitutes).
.
A genuine Escort or Companion is a person who is not necessarily engaged in sexual activity but always provides a high class social entertaining in exchange for a money donation.
Some of these professionals are straightforward massage professionals.
Other escorts may specialize in domination, or other fetishes which do not require intimate sexual activity.

In the US, each state has the power to decide whether or not prostitution is legal in that state or part of that state. In all but two U.S. states (Nevada and Rhode Island), the buying and selling of sexual services is illegal and usually classified as a misdemeanor.
Punishments for prostitutes and their customers vary widely from state to state, from 15 days imprisonment and/or $100 fine (Vermont), to 1 to 3 years and/or $25,000 fine (Illinois). Punishments for pimps and brothel owners range from up to 30 days or $200 to 20 years and/or $125,000 fine.
Prostitution is considered by some US governments to be a public order crime, a crime that disrupts the order of a community.
