The Modern Courtesan

After reading a fair bit about courtesans throughout history, I was amazed to find out that this particular lady is alive and well in the modern world! I think the way to define a courtesan is that she is not just offering a sexual service. A prostitute offers a sexual service. Man sees prostitute, pays money, sex take place, association over. An escort, may be a cut above an average prostitute in that she may have a better location, be better groomed and possibly could be taken out for dinner. A Courtesan on the other hand is a mistress of her art. She is educated, clever, witty, well-read, well-travelled, sophisticated, skilled in love-making and of course pleasing on the eye. She is not necessarily beautiful in the conventional sense, but she is by no means ugly! She appeals to a more cerebal type of man. One who enjoys, relishes even, the company of an sexy, intelligent woman - and he of course can afford to pay for her. Blogs are of course a sign of our technicalogical times but they are being used to great effect by the modern courtesan.

A lot of ladies seem to call themselves escorts as well as courtesans, as in the case of this Plymouth escort in Devon (Rhia Charles) but if you read their information you will see that there is fair more going on than a simple escort/client relationship. These ladies provide an experience that is coveted throughout the world. They are truly mistresses of their art!
