I recall vividly that this new thing called the "Girl Friend Experience" surfaced. (Someone help me with the approximate timing (~ late '80's?)). I'm sure to get business and kind of move us into a new frontier the concept of "GFE" surfaced. I remember that time well. All of a sudden a girl would kiss during a session - especially if you selected someone advertising GFE. It really was a major shift in the hobby experience.
Now, to this day, we can see in posts where guys/gals report issues of "falling" for the other... and all the challenges/issues it presents. (I don't think it's rampant... just some (guys in particular) can't help themselves (ladies too?).) I think prior to the evolution of "GFE" this was much less of an issue or discussion point.
Without that, everything was/is more "transactional" to some extent.
It certainly can still be very fun without "GFE". I have a favorite or two right now that only do LFK, but are still awfully fun to hang out with!! That's certainly due to their high "IOP"....
