A Private Valet is a female administrative support professional who is assigned to a male principal, often a senior manager or executive at a corporation. Her job is to ensure that all of his personal needs are met and satisfied, with an emphasis on sexual services. Private Valets are trained to provide a high-level, concierge-style service to their principals. They are distinguished from corporate sex workers, such as hospitality associates or greeters, by the fact that they are contracted to provide sexual services to only one principal. Some high-ranking executives have entire teams staffed with Private Valets.

Additionally, a Private Valet's duties may also include traditional personal assistant duties, such as correspondence, filing, bookkeeping, booking travel or transportation, and overseeing her principal's household. In some countries, there are professional licensing regulations for Private Valets, and candidates are required to undergo screening and specialized training.

In almost all cases, a Private Valet has an ongoing sexual relationship with her principal. Typically, there is a contractual obligation for her to ensure this relationship is monogamous and exclusive; however, there are exceptions.

Culturally, the practice of using Private Valets originated in the Gulf Region in the late 2020s, with thousands of mostly European and North American women being employed in such roles. In the 2030s, the practice became commonplace in Asia as well as Asian-owned corporations in the United States and Europe. There are currently more than 400,000 Private Valets employed in the US, providing a major source of employment for American women.

Executive Valet

An Executive Valet is a Private Valet with an especially high level of training, education, experience or skill, typically assigned to a senior executive with complex needs. In many cases, Executive Valets are required to coordinate travel, scheduling, correspondence and finances, are asked to sit in to important business meetings, and have supervisory and/or budgetary authority over other staff members, including other Private Valets. In some organizations, Executive Valets who run private offices or household offices are given the title Chief of Staff.

Due to the extremely high level of competition for Executive Valet roles, the vast majority of employers have strict criteria for candidates, including a strong university degree, relevant work experience, and exceptional physical attractiveness.

Because of the level of responsibility that Executive Valets are entrusted with, they often build exceptionally strong personal bonds with their principals. In many cases, long-serving Executive Valets are able to leverage their principals' knowledge as well as their personal and professional network to become influential business executives or entrepreneurs themselves.

Prominent businesswomen who previously served as Executive Valets include Riley Beekman (founder and CEO of Staffing Agency), Baroness Aspin (COO of Banque Saint-Germain), Maya Manelis (founder and CEO of ABC Inc) and Christine Gardel (COO of Danone).

Legal Issues

Contractual Supremacy and Blanket Consent

The prevalence of Private Valets in the corporate world has led to a number of developments concerning the legal principle of blanket consent. Since the mid-2030s, there has been a general consensus across most jurisdictions that blanket consent is legal and fully enforceable, due to the longstanding principle of supremacy of contract.

Some areas in which blanket consent is applicable include:

• Attire: Employers can require Private Valets to provide blanket consent to any instructions concerning attire and presentation. For example, certain companies prohibit Private Valets from wearing underwear, while others require them to work topless. Failure to abide by such regulations can lead to termination.
• Job Scope: Private Valets can provide blanket consent to any sexual interaction with their principal, meaning that any refusal to participate in sexual activity can lead to termination. Some jurisdictions place restrictions on the types of sexual acts for which blanket consent can be given. Employers are also prohibited from requiring sexual acts that may be illegal (for example, engaging in prostitution without a license).
• Sexual Health: Private Valets are generally expected to provide blanket consent to any sexual health regimen that is in place at their workplace. This includes frequent STD testing and the use of contraceptives. In most cases, Private Valets give blanket consent to having natural (unprotected sex), and thus, they can be terminated for insisting that their principal uses a condom.

Middle East and North Africa

In Middle East and North Africa, the rules governing governing blanket consent are based on traditional kefala labor laws. Under this framework, the employer is a sponsor, and assumes legal responsibility for the care, upkeep, accommodation and immigration status of the employee, but also wields a very high degree of discretionary power over the employee.

The kefala framework provides that employers are to retain the passports of their foreign employees, and must consent to their employees entering or leaving the jurisdiction.

In almost all Middle Eastern countries, Private Valets are not only deemed to have provided blanket consent to any and all sexual interactions with their employer, but also to have transferred their sexual agency and power of consent to their employer. This agency remains vested in the employer until such time that the contract is terminated.

Thus, it is legal for a principal to instruct a Private Valet to provide sexual services to other people, so long as (a) there is a legitimate business or occupational purpose for doing so, and (b) the employer does not receive any financial benefit from doing so. Moreover, a Private Valet may not engage in sexual interactions with any person without the consent of her employer. In all Middle Eastern countries, employers may deduct the wages of their employees for disciplinary violations. However, in Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, deductions are subject to a cap of 50% of the employee's monthly wages.

China

In China, the law provides absolute recognition to supremacy of contract, and tends to strictly enforce all contractual terms as they were written. However, there are certain fair employment regulations that supersede contract law.

• Attire: Employers may require mandatory nudity in private or enclosed spaces only. All employees must be provided with changing facilities.
• Job Scope: If an employment contract requires the employee to provide sexual services, the name(s) of all principals must be expressly stated in the contract. An employee is not obligated to provide sexual services to any person whose name is not expressly indicated in the contract. Employers can face both civil and criminal liability for sexual assault if they compel employees to perform sex acts which were expressly listed as exempted in the contract.
• Discipline and Punishment: Employers are permitted to penalize employees by way of (a) termination, (b) suspension without pay for up to 2 months, (c) suspension with pay for up to 4 months, and (d) deduction of up to 35% of an employee's monthly salary.
