where is the line drawn between being an escort and being a "friend"?

So, you pay a monthly membership fee. Then you pay your new "friend" an hourly rate to hang out with you. & the friend sets the rate & decides where you can go.

So if I'm a convention attendee in Wilmington, I can hire one of these "friends" and not be guilty of soliciting?

Do you and your friend have to be of the same gender?

With all the film making opportunities in Wilmington, I could see this leading to a reality show "Me & My Friendless, Pathetic Life".

Possible Stars?? Frog from Tabor City? For that matter film it in Tabor City. There have to be plenty of available friends down there.
