Very well, there is no denying that some used cars are better than other used cars? Correct? Likewise, won't a more skilled, well schooled courtesan offer you a more satisfactory, more fulfilled experience than say an ordinary sp???ogibowt said:
There is another generalization, summarized as "You get what you pay for." However, there are always exceptions to the rule, my friend. As strange as it seems, even in the escorting business, there is such thing as chemistry between the client and the escort (courtesan or sp). If the connection is there, you may be one lucky customer. You may get a courtesan at a Walmart size discount. LOL!!! Best of luck!!! *Wink*slurp said:I can usually afford an SP while I usually cannot afford a Courtesan .....

Here's one for you:
Hobbyest= John = Loser
If you equate these high end ladies as basically whores, then what does that make you if you have to pay for the sex? I say you're lower than a whore, basically a loser in life. Your post is insensitive and degrading to many ladies.

As much as I agree with you that Rama's comment is very offensive. But you just insulted the rest of us at the same time.
I have to go see a Shrink now, Thanks.
Straight from Wikipedia...
A courtesan is mainly what one may call a high-class prostitute. A courtesan would offer her charms and sexual pleasures, generally and more usually to people of substantial wealth, in return for a good and respectable living, especially during hard times of poverty.
Sometimes a courtesan would herself have enough expensive possessions such as jewelry and clothing such that she may be mistaken for an elite with a title such as countess, marquise, etc... In mid-16th century usage, 'courtesan' referred to a mistress and/or trained artisan of dance and singing, especially one associated with wealthy, powerful, or upper-class men who provided luxuries and status in exchange for companionship.
In Renaissance Europe, courtesans played an important role in upper-class society, sometimes taking the place of wives at social functions.

In history a Courtesan essentially provided what we would now call Executive Soundboarding, a wife was there to raise children however the Courtesan was highly educated and financially dependant thus making her a trusted advisor and companion.
Of course there were different types of Courtesans as well but in general a Courtesan was more a consultant with benefits, prostitutes were left to the lower classes.
Courtesans exist today however you do not see them advertising on the open market. There are some escorts that are highly educated and develop long term relationships with clients that will fluctuate between the role of Courtesan and escort throughout their careers. Others start as escorts and slowly build a reputation and career and become a Courtesan, while others still will simply leave a mainstream career and go directly into the Courtesan role.
There is not a lot of public information on the modern role of the Courtesan as discretion is key however Sudhir Venkatesh has published a few papers that are recent and relevant as well as a few other prominent American sociologists.

This is a great book for an overview of the history of mistresses, courtesans, concubines, etc.

It's correct. The problem is the word "whore" is pejorative. That is a problem with society, one that hopefully will be corrected over time. Presumably once the ridiculous stigma associated with being an SP is gone the word "whore" will lose its sting.
"Courtesan", "SP", "prostitute", "whore" are all synonyms that differ only in the attitude of the person speaking them. It's my view that the word "whore" should eventually become a neutral/positive term, the way that "fag" went from negative to neutral/positive as social prejudices evaporated around homosexuality.
Words like "courtesan" attempt to get around a social stigma that there is no getting around--the social stigma itself needs to change, and when it does none of those words will attach to a negative meaning.
Personally I love whores! And I hope to see a day someday when I can say that without risk of offending anyone.
