The media's depiction of hookers, also known as sex workers, has undergone a significant transformation over the years. Escort services have long been a part of human civilization, but it was not until the 21st century that these services became more prominent in mass media.

In the early days of movies, escorts were often depicted as femme fatales, typically in a stereotypical or light. Films such as 'The Road Ahead' (1950) and 'The 39 Steps' (1935) portrayed escorts as manipulative individuals. This portrayal solidified stereotypical attitudes towards sex work, placing it as a morally corrupt profession.

Additionally, with the emergence of erotic media and the rise of tech-based services in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the portrayal of hookers in society began to shift. Films such as 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' (2006) and 'The Hangover' (2001) included sex workers, but with a more comical and tone. These movies contributed to a shifting public view of sex workers, reducing the bias associated with escorts.

In recent years, the representation of hookers has become even more varied. The success of television programs like 'Twin Peaks' (2018-2021) and 'Dead to Me' (2010-2015) has been partly their inclusion of nuanced hooker depictions. These series explore issues such as identity and the struggles faced by hookers.

A production 'A New Beginning' (2020) adds to this change. Featuring Leslie Mann and Brie Larson, elite courtesan this drama provides a multifaceted representation of an sex worker who is not simply a seductress but a multidimensional human being with her own motivations. The movie's success shows that audiences are increasingly accepting to realistic and sophisticated depictions of sex workers in mass media.

The changing depiction of hookers in culture reflects shifting societal attitudes towards prostitution. As our understanding of the adult entertainment becomes more enlightened, the images of sex workers we see on projection have, too, begun to evolve. They are no longer reduced to prejudices but are fleshed out as three-dimensional human characters, reflecting the complexity and nuance of escorts' lives.
