There was also the famed Venetian Renaissance poetess and courtesan Veronica Franco (1546-1591), who consulted with officials and the intelligentsia of the Venetian Republic. Cultured and sophisticated, she drew the attention of a wide slice of Venetian society.

Yeah. Attitudes towards this line of work has fluctuated and changed greatly throughout history. And I think maybe there's also a "middle class" of sex workers, too. Somebody who experiences the less glamorous side of the job, but also is appreciated for their culture and intelligence and is taken out sometimes.

If we're really going about taking the word "courtesan" in the first degree, I do believe I met one once. Performance-wise, it wasn't my proudest outing, but she made it up to me after with riveting conversation. We spent an additional hour jawing about all the sort of far-out stuff that Smitty has a penchant for: extaterrestrial lifeforms, angels, demons, how sex magick works, all that good tinfoil hat shit. I even learned the term "loosh" from her, the negative energy that the Archons spoken of in Gnosticism are supposed to feed on. I was actually taught something new, and I though I was the grand wizard here (for the more cultured readers, no, not THAT kind of wizard with the white hood ). An episode to remember.

Sounds exactly like the type of conversations I have with some clients. The type of people who know what Gnosticism means and don't assume I am an idiot at first glance.
