Whats The Difference Between Courtesans and Escorts?

by Karen

As an courtesan, this post is inspired by a recent review I read where the reviewer noted that the woman he saw (self-identified as a courtesan and not as an escort) talked through a good bit of his half hour session and he was bothered by that.

I saw this as a good opportunity to write a post on the differences between what courtesans and escorts. While we are part of the same field, we are not the same and sometimes, even the same person can switch between the two. You could liken this to a surgeon not being the same as an obstetrician. They are both doctors, but they specialise in different aspects of their field.

Let me start by saying that one is not better than the other. The two are different and it really just comes down to “Different strokes for different folks”. I do not wish for ths bg post to become a snobbery parade or a superiority teaser here.

Fundamental Differences:

An escort will often greet a client with a kiss, and some minor chit chat will ensue. Normally, it won’t be much and they will get right down to business. This chat may even occur while the client undresses (you don’t do that with me sorry- I consider myself high class so please let us both behave accordingly), sets down his donation, and moves to the bed. There will be some superficial connection, but what it comes down to is a the client being happy with what he sees. Usually not much on the personal level. An escort will focus on physically pleasuring the client ot his hearts content.

Afterward, there will usually be a bit more conversation leading up to either another shot or the end of the session. Some do not stay the remainder of the duration. The average booking is between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Personally I do not offer anything less than an hour. Whoever offers 30minutes and claim to be high class is really poorely educated abut the meaing of the the word.

Escorts are perfect for clients who:

• Is looking for a quickie
• Is looking for the fantasy situation of showing up, doing his thing, and leaving
• Want absolute “no strings attached” sex where emotions do not come into play at all Are hobbyists

Courtesans, on the other hand, tend to focus on the mind first and body later. A courtesan may have wine, sparkling water, or even a fruit tray available to share at the beginning of the appointment. Often the first portion of the appointment is spent talking – usually about his life (without going into TOO much detail of course), her past/background/education, current events, politics, or anything else that may come up. Courtesans more often than not hold a degree, or are in the end stages working on one. Personally I take pride in having an MA, speaking three languages, having traveled good part of this charming world, and am educated in a number of subjects. Many clients who hire courtesans will talk to them about their life and problems, hoping for the point of view of an uninvolved party. Or even just an ear to listen, or shoulder to cry on.

When the courtesan feels a good connection has formed, she will progress the visit into the bedroom. Afterwards, there’s usually a continuation of an earlier conversation and perhaps more activities if the mood is right. Courtesans focus on both mental and physical stimulation under the belief that a psychological release can lead to a better physical one. Also they feel the more comfortable the client is, the more open he can be behind closed doors enabling him to act out all of his deepest fantasies.

Courtesans are perfect for clients who:

• Desire a connection before intercourse
• Want to spend a longer period of time with the chosen courtesan
• Need someone to talk to, whether on a casual level or deeper one
• Also subscribe to the belief that an emotional release first makes the physical release better

Price and Time Differences:

While many escorts will offer half hour bookings, the average courtesan starts around 1 or 2 hours.

The reason for this isn’t because the courtesan wants more money, or is greedy – but because you cannot make the desired connection in 30 minutes AND allow time for the physical release. You would use up the vast majority of the time (if not all of it) outside of the bedroom making the connection.

This does mean if you wish to see a courtesan, you will need more time and money. There is an upside to this though. Most escorts will allow you to book 30 min-4 hours, however the rates will simply be the 1 hour rate multiplied by the amount of hours, with the exception of 30 minutes (which usually is 2/3 the 1 hour rate). Courtesans will often offer multi-hour discount. I’ll use my own rates as an example.

As a courtesan, guys who book longer sessions are more often than not looking for the companionship aspect which is something I am more than happy to provide for hours at a time with a bit of fun mixed in. With escorting, it’s a lot more physically demanding which is why I did not offer the same discounts.

I can see why the guy who wrote that review was bothered. Unfortunately the true differences between what escorts and courtesans are really aren’t that well known. Most people probably just think “courtesan” is a good way to slap a higher price tag on the same product. Unfortunately, as this client found out, that is not the case at all. I say “unfortunately” because the client ended up unsatisfied, which is something that both escorts and courtesans would see as unfortunate.

P.S.

Needless to say that if you are the type who walks in and undresses in the living room and come to see me, you do set yourself up for embarassment. If you love a woman who arouses your mind as much as your body….I would love to love you!

In the end we’re all in the business of pleasure and satisfaction, and we’re all disappointed in ourselves when we don’t give it.
