Courtesans are above all
DISCREET. Anyone claiming to be a 'courtesan' then giving interviews to papers and
magazines, or waxing about their clientele is not a courtesan, but a high class escort who got lucky; no VIP
client will risk time with a 'big-mouth'.
A modern day courtesan encompasses a little more substance than her business-savvy predecessors:
The common idea is that a courtesan was just that little bit more educated, stylish, youthful,
physically beautiful and talented. But in this day and age, it is so much more.
A true 'Courtesan Onesto' (honest courtesan) is someone who is more beautiful inside
than she is outside, regardless of how beautiful she might be physically. She is often unaware of the
extent of her outer beauty, and is more concerned with bringing kindness, pleasure and happiness into
people's lives, not living off an ego, or putting others down to make herself look better. She is a whole,
wise woman, confident in herself, who brings inspiration, serenity and integrity, not corruption,
bitterness and slander.
She also
chooses to be a pleasure provider and sensual healer, she is not someone who
'has'
to do things she does not enjoy, in order to pay her bills/ support her family/ habit, make ends meet.
A COURTESAN IS NOT A PROSTITUTE.
She provides a higher quality experience than a high class escort date or a girlfriend experience.
A courtesan truly is reserved for the most selective and refined gentleman.
She invests extensively in her art; from her designer presentation and immaculate beauty,
to her classes in deportment and etiquette, wine and art appreciation, in addition to her
excellent schooling & pedigreed upbringing.
She invests in music knowledge and dance abilities; she will usually speak several languages,
play at least one instrument, and have the
ability to put on such erotic entertainment shows as you might expect from a professional
cabaret or talented burlesque show.
This talent comes from extensive training, rehearsal and
practise to perfect the seductive performance section of the appointment.
She is dynamic, unforgettable, more than the average pretty, intelligent companion. She
is a consummate entertainer, and
considers herself an entertainer, whether her desire
enters her service or not. This is a confident, prudent and sensual woman who understands
she has a lot to give, and derives immense pleasure from giving; she is an inherently passionate being.
She derives unique pleasure from knowing she has made a positive difference in her gentleman's life.
The fee she is paid is simply the cherry on top; she is less concerned with the money so much
as the mutual joy and quality of pleasure that can be achieved.
She is someone who is extremely vigilant in her care of herself. She understands her body is the housing for her
beautiful soul, and deserves the very best treatment. She does not degrade herself or disparage her body by taking
illicit drugs or getting rolling drunk every weekend. This is someone with a healthy mind, who consciously eats well,
exercises regularly, and makes intelligent, prudent choices about where she goes, whom she allows to socialize with her
and what she subjects her body/ skin/ mind to. She strives to make her appearance match the beauty within,
rather than the other way around...
She is careful to speak beautifully, both enunciating well and addressing subjects tactfully, articulately expressing
herself in a wide vocabulary, with little or no obscenities. She leaves that for the occasional dirty talk to tease you!
She carefully selects her clothing, preferring an understated, discreet, classic look, with sleek, smooth lines. She would never
be called 'tasteless' in her clothing, as she knows the difference between elegantly sexy and trashy. Skirts are
appealingly fitted, but not too short - another reason why this level of service is best suited to younger women; at a certain
age, a woman of quality realizes she can no longer look graceful and tasteful in a skirt above her knees, regardless of how
well she has preserved her figure... mutton dressed as lamb is
never dignified.
The fresh, youthful courtesan's quality attire is graceful, fitted but not tight, in muted, non-offensive shades. Patterns
are kept simple and to a minimum, whilst her jewelry, make up and scent are tastefully light, unobtrusive.
Shoes are firm, well heeled, closed toe stilettos of medium height, nothing clacky or strappy, which might draw public
attention to her. A clean, immaculate, natural, wholesome image is her aim. She will usually bring more erotic
heels and outfits with her to change into throughout her entertainments,
but her public image is clean cut, lady-like & discreet. Her erotic side is only for the viewing pleasure of
the selected gentlemen in her life, again reinforcing her exclusivity.
She is, ironically, a rather moral woman, who sets her boundaries and cannot be 'bought'. Any woman who agrees
to do extra things she would not normally do, or which she knows will hurt others or go against her friends or principles,
for mere money, does not possess the class of a courtesan.
A courtesan is a woman of integrity, intelligence and honesty. She is a true businesswoman, and understands the way
her business works. She is a woman of responsibility, and likes to do
the 'right thing' where possible, preferring to be thought of in the best possible light by all who know her.
She does not see bringing pleasure to a man in need of affection as 'wrong'. She has nothing to hide, although she prizes
discretion highly. She
is a 'stand-up' individual in lay terms, who
would never demean herself or her reputation by allowing herself to become greedy, or by becoming a humiliated
play-thing who will do almost anything for money. This is the saddest position a woman can ever put herself in.
Creating packages for longer periods of mutual enjoyment is one thing, but accepting offers of extra money for
things she would not usually do is out of the question, and the gentleman offering this would not be permitted into her
presence again.
A good rule of thumb for a courtesan is; If she wouldn't do it for free, just for the fun
of it, then she won't do it for mere money.
A courtesan understands her reputation and image depends upon her behaviour at all times. She does not
behave like a lady when she is entertaining, and then relax into sloppiness when she is not entertaining. She is aware
of the fact that how she lives is reflected in her overall look, presentation, attitude and demeanor, and she is
someone who lives well and behaves appropriately continually to all, not just in the eyes of those she is trying to impress.
She is aware she is human, not perfect, but beautifully flawed and striving to be the best she can be.
She is a genuinely elite, quality woman of high standards in all aspects, at all times. A woman like this has too much class to
ever make anyone feel uncomfortable. Much like the late Princess Diana, she will be gracious, and comfortable to converse politely
with everyone from Diplomats & celebrities, to her local store owner & personal maid. She would never do
anything to embarrass or hurt another individual for selfish, proud or greedy reasons. She is in fact usually more concerned for
others' comforts than her own, thus entirely
unselfish, whilst maintaining her own healthy level of
self respect and self esteem.
Whilst onlookers and attempted competition might try to raise their fees in order to pass themselves off as the same,
one cannot fake class, and they are soon discovered by the genuinely elite gentlemen to be frauds. The
men with more money than knowledge, to be pitied, might utilize the imposters' services, but it may be a rather unfulfilling, sad
and degrading service for all involved if he is expecting true courtesan service. Since the true
Courtesan is more sensually and professionally talented, of higher quality overall and her genuine
affections and company in demand, her fee will of course be higher; However it is a token, a joke between
the two, simply to extract the genuinely successful, deserving gentlemen from the crowds of men
who want her. Her gentleman pays his fee to
gain her favour, a gift of good faith toward his ability
to please her.
Generally the gentlemen
whom have achieved such financial success are those who have the charm and sophistication to match her own,
and the knowledge of women to properly appreciate and thoroughly enjoy all the different entertainments of his
chosen female, not embarrass or insult her with the pouncing of an inexperienced youth, ignoring her exquisite
attire, her intoxicating scent, and the efforts she has gone to, to seduce him. He will be a gentleman at all times,
as they both respect the mutual unspoken laws of tasteful togetherness. He would
never verbally insult her or
physically abuse her, nor expect her to do things she would not normally do. He does not treat her like a blow up
doll, a purchased item or a trained monkey, nor would he refuse her the freedom to entertain him at her leisure.
There is a special connection, and emotional touch that occurs between the courtesan and her chosen client. They
rarely spend small amounts of time together when they connect; they enhance each others' lives, and when they are
together it is almost like Romeo and Juliet re-connecting, high school young-at-hearts stealing away together to
experience a little more romance. It is not a 'service' situation, so much as an affectionate human bond that is formed
between them. A courtesan client is rarely looking for an hour or two to enjoy company, 'services' or simple, meaningless
sex. He is searching for that connection, needing to be refilled and enhanced emotionally. Just as hundreds of different positions
within any intimacy period is not conducive to a sensually healing encounter, so a different girl every time, or
short bursts of 'service' is not conducive to these special connections. A courtesan client may meet different models,
but will usually continue to meet the same models again and again, to further the connection they have established.
True intimacy and sensual healing or growth is rarely achieved with multitudes of partners, or brief encounters with them.
A gentleman will always
defer to a lady's preference within reason; as any intelligent man knows, when a quality lady is happy, her gentleman is
kept
very happy! A client may often find himself falling in love with her, but needs to remember this
is not real - this is
why he pays for her company. We are providing the illusion, the fantasy of perfection.
He pays for her eternally good mood! :-)
There is a reason why she is his fantasy woman, and why that ends when they become too close.
She is rarely in a position to want to be 'rescued' anyway, as she has chosen and prefers this life for now -
her dynamic spirit is due to the freedom
she enjoys in her current lifestyle, and most importantly, the time she has to herself to refresh her soul and remain
exclusive to her accepted gentlemen. Try catching a free butterfly and keeping it in a cage - it doesn't stay vibrant for long...
The courtesan may settle down in time, but only when she is ready, and rarely with a man who has paid her for her time
in the past. Theirs is a respected, caring business relationship, and nothing more. They may genuinely care for each other, but
a life together is impractical.
This unique client selection practice is what keeps the courtesan exclusive to her elite gentlemen. The woman who accepts
all requests just to get as much money as possible, soon sadly loses her exclusivity and is no longer considered an
option for the elite gentleman, who understands the difference. Like minded people are brought together at Mona
Lisa Models™, where the price is not so important as the perfect match and these continual quality experiences,
a step above the typical.
The difference in any successful relationship, be it part time or full time, is giving or taking.
When both are giving, for the pleasure they receive from their partner's joy, without expecting anything
in return but knowing they have brought pleasure to another; this is successful.
When both are taking, in it for what they can get from the other, there is only pain, disappointment and
bitterness in their future.
When one is giving and one is taking, if the giver is happy to never receive, it can work, but anyone with any self respect
would never stay in a relationship of this nature, it is unhealthy. A natural and healthy connection is where both
are giving, therefore they both receive by default, and enjoy the additional pleasure of giving.
Quality courtesans are powerful women, and having men pay for company/ entertainment is something that builds
confidence and self esteem. Seduction as a professional has a quality that one just can't experience in personal relationships.
It is a quality that is very erotic for both men and women. The act of giving and receiving money
potentially for erotic experiences creates a highly charged, exciting atmosphere. It is a very
deliberate act that eliminates many other extraneous factors that distract one's focus
from pure eroticism. Let your inhibitions go and enjoy yourself.
