New Zealand’s escort market is an active, international scene, with over 2,000 ads published each month.
We’ve analysed our latest SimpleEscort data from the past 90 days to give you a peek at the demand-side stats: who’s searching for escorts, what kind of companions are they looking for, and what specific services are they requesting?
What stands out at first glance is how mobile-driven New Zealand’s escort market is, with 86.2% of sessions coming from mobile devices. On SimpleEscort, we have approximately 70,000 unique monthly searches, which point to distinct trends in how clients use the platform.
Let’s break down the data, starting with who’s really searching for companions in New Zealand.
New Zealand’s escort clients aren’t who you’d expect
Starting with age, nearly half of New Zealand’s escort users are over 55. The 65+ group makes up 23.42%, outnumbering the 25 to 34 group at 20.42%. It is a more mature clientele than people might expect based on global norms, but with significant representation across every age group.
Looking at users’ interests adds more nuance to the picture; users follow news, sports, travel, and investing, along with other mainstream categories. The largest segment is avid news readers at 40.39%. Travel fans follow at 25.66%, with auto enthusiasts at 22.85% and general shopping enthusiasts at 20.22%. Sports followers, including rugby fans, make up 17.54%, while technophiles represent 16.06% and investors 15.79%. Together, these categories reflect a wide cross-section of everyday digital consumers with broad, familiar interests rather than niche subsets.
Most users are searching on mobile; 86.2% of sessions come from phones for an average of 4 minutes and 38 seconds. This hints at a wider usage pattern where users arrive, filter, and search for what suits them.
Taken together, age distribution, interest categories, and device preference portray a a user base that’s more mature, with mainstream interests, and mostly phone-oriented browsing behaviour.
The trans escort paradox: New Zealand’s biggest demand gap
One of the clearest mismatches in the data appears in the Gender filter. Although 30.65% of users searched for “trans” escorts in the past 90 days, only 0.71% of SimpleEscort companions identify as trans.
It appears to be the most prominent demand-supply discrepancy in the dataset—no other category shows as large a disparity between users’ preferences and verified companion listings.
For potential escorts, this could indicate a significant market opportunity for those who identify as trans. Explicitly highlighting your sexual identity could make you more visible to a huge proportion of active, already-interested clients.
From a client perspective, it hints at limited supply and a potential need for wider searches - at least, for the time being.
What clients actually request: connection over transaction
Looking at ad data gives us insight into what SimpleEscort companions are most commonly offered on the platform.
Erotic Massage is the most widely offered service listed at 14.97%, followed by Oral at 11.41%. GFE is displayed in 10.41% of escort ads, handjobs come in at 8.38%, and Role Play and Fantasy follow closely at 8.33%.
Based on the services declared by companions in the past 90 days, these percentages outline which services currently appear most frequently in listings. Here’s a broader look at SimpleEscort provider offerings.
The top 10 most-offered services on SimpleEscort
- Erotic Massage: 15%
- Oral: 11.4%
- GFE: 10.4%
- Handjob: 8.4%
- Role Play: 8.3%
- French Kissing: 7.7%
- Fetish: 7%
- Rimming: 5.1%
- Duo: 4.8%
- Deep Throat: 4.7%
These preferences appear to centre largely on GFE and touch-based services, which might resonate with users looking for slower, more interaction-centred experiences.
Where demand Is highest - and where choice runs out
Auckland accounts for 36.78% of client interest, with the widest selection and longest average navigation time in a single session. Outside the main urban hubs, options can thin out more quickly even though demand remains steady.
Nationality filters also factor into client searches, with 32.26% of users looking specifically for ads for New Zealand-born providers over the past 90 days. This was followed by Indian profiles, the next most-filtered group at 7.58%. Nationality was also used to find Chinese escorts 5.16% of the time and Thai companions at 0.81%.
This is a slightly less pronounced Nationality filter trend than in the UK, which highlights how New Zealand’s market reflects more searches for local versus international providers. It also fits within New Zealand’s wider history around sex work and sexuality, influenced by evolving cultural attitudes over time.
What This Means If You’re Searching
Understanding these patterns can help you set expectations, whether you’re a SimpleEscort client or companion. New Zealand's decriminalised framework is one that supports transparency and enables safer client-escort interactions.
If you’re hoping to match with a trans sex escort, availability can sometimes be extremely limited. Openings with trans providers may fill quickly, so advance planning can be a good idea in cities like Auckland. In rural parts of the country, consider patience and flexibility as you search for the perfect nearby match.
New Zealand’s escort scene is an active but tight marketplace with clear trends in client behaviour, more mature clients, and very particular preferences. Acknowledging how demand works here can help you navigate it more confidently as a client. For escorts, it highlights the potential benefits of transparent advertising, which could significantly boost your success rate.
