The Girlfriend Experience - Solicitation*

Corresponds with a recent post

Erica has become drawn to Anna's allure, perhaps eventually her world. There are catalysts in life that bring people together. Some political back story involving donors wanting further power, through legislative means if possible, and Erica, enlisted to help make that a reality, meets an escort with evidence that might just accomplish that. A former girlfriend reappears to Erica, much to her astonishment. It is a bit awkward because Erica isn't sure what to make of it. It is an apology after Erica received the cold shoulder when trying to salvage their relationship. Is this her way of attempting to reconnect?

This episode's notoriety will most certainly derive from its sexual content. Louisa Kraus deserves the lions share for her willingness to be nude and actively explicit in her use of sexual language. Both her cool body language and sense of confidence in capturing the desire of clients, and eventually Erica, are certainly affective on me. But I can get why this kind of performance--well, maybe it is the character--could be viewed as a bit of an enigma.

Erica wants to use Anna's services. Anna is very desirable and her website persuasive. This is the beginning of a journey of self discovery character drama told within the backdrop of political intrigue. Anna will become as infatuated with Erica as Erica seems infatuated with her.

Sexual encounters during her escort work is shared and Anna even commits to fellatio, recording the act for Erica who admits to beiny aroused by it. Anna clearly is excited to share the recorded fellatio with Erica, considering this was for her specifically although the guy receiving it looked to have believed it was some kink his escort enjoyed. Later after showing an aroused Erica the recording, Anna is excited and wants to give her oral sex. Anna tells Erica she is for all intensive purposes totally into her. Erica does the same.

It is the gradual seduction between two people looking for something significant in lives where people/clients are constantly wanting something from them. Erica and Anna want this for themselves.
