Le Courtesan... legality exposed

The Courtesan has been around for thousands of years. A courtesan was originally a woman courtier. That is to say a woman who attended the court of a king. In ancient times a king married his queen because he was told to. Marriages between such high-ranking individuals were arranged by parents, often without there being any “love” between the parties concerned, many times without the parties ever having met. The primary purpose of these
‘marriages’ was two-fold: political alliances and the producing an heir or heirs to the throne. As there was often little contact between king and queen, and it was up to the king to find “amusement” elsewhere. But his rank in society demanded total discretion. Although a king could turn to the nearest maid to satisfy his carnal desires, this was not what he yearned for. Like any other man he yearned for the company of an intelligent, discrete, seductive and
unique type of woman. And being a man, the ‘hunt’ is everything. To gain such a woman, he would have to court her.

Courtesans of those era’s would split their time and attentions between a few select suitors, and would stand out (and be successful) due to their intelligence, beauty, style, sheer classiness, and, above all, their discretion. They were in the company of the most important and powerful men of the world. Outside of their courtesan life they would often run successful businesses. They didn’t need to spend every hour of every day in the company of their suitors. They did when they chose to, and with whom they chose, and for fun rather than need. They were one of “life’s little luxuries”,
and used the rewards from their select encounters to fund their own luxurious lifestyles. Nowadays, things haven’t changed too much – Except the favors of courtesans are no longer restricted to royalty. How lucky are we!
The Courtesan terminology has become very entwined with the that used in the sex-trade-industry. But there ARE major differences and those differences are what truly makes a relationship with a Courtesan unique, much more entailed and legal.

The premise of la Courtesan and what I provide as a service, is to create a mutually beneficial arrangement between like-minded parties. The politically correct term for courtesan these days is ‘sugar baby’ and the men are referred to as ‘sugar daddies.’ Personally I prefer the term, Courtesan or friends with benefits. <wink>

There is negotiation upfront between the parties involved. Although the media still equates it to prostitution, it isn’t because there is a chemistry involved in these relationships. It’s not a one-time exchange of money for sex. As a matter of fact, if you look to my website packages,   I require a first-time luncheon date. No strings. Just an initial meeting to ensure that the gentleman and I are compatible and that there is a chemistry for us to go further, build upon, and create a mutually beneficial relationship with. According to Allen Lichtenstein, a First Amendment attorney in Las Vegas, “…any relationship that is an ongoing one that’s not purely about sex but may have a sexual aspect to it, you can’t really classify as prostitution.” In a recent interview with the Huffington Post,  Lichenstein also states that “one could even consider certain marriages where there are unequal financial resources to not be overly dissimilar.”

In fact, my own opinion is that a relationship with a courtesan is healthier than most other relationships; going in to one and going forward the parties are brutally upfront. After a relationship forms, sex becomes part of the relationship just as it does with a rich husband or boyfriend who gives money to a wife or girlfriend. To borrow words from Mr. Sugar Daddy, Brandon Wade, in a recent interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal; “If you know going into a relationship that a person is going to use you and you are going to use them, then it’s healthier because there is a mutually agreed exchange of expectations. It’s part of a set of old-fashioned principles — opening doors for women and standing up to greet them — which men today lack.”
