	The Skilled Courtesan: Gifted women in society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The main difference between a prostitute and a courtesan is that prostitutes are often paid for sexual services and have many clients while courtesans are often paid for companionship, escorting, and long-term affairs, which may include sexual services with one or more men.
		Prostitutes are not generally well educated, whereas courtesans are whether it be a formal education or under the tutelage of a mentor, instructor, or protector.
		A prostitute is usually limited in the types of services that they offer their clients, but a courtesan, for example, may offer erotic massaging, bathing, singing, dancing, writing, cooking, or entertaining such as being a dominatrix or actress.

	Famous quotations on Prostitution, Prostitution quotes, Popular sayings, quotable words from Entwagon.com
		Prostitution, when unmotivated by economic need, might well be defined as a species of psychological addiction, built on self-hatred through repetitions of the act of sale by which a whore is defined.
		Prostitutes, pornographers, and their patrons are marauders in the forest of archaic night.
		The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men but rather their conqueror, an outlaw who controls the sexual channel between nature and culture.

	Pictures Site::Male prostitute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The gender of a male prostitute's sexual partner, or the sexual act that the hustler participates in, is not necessarily indicative of the hustler's sexual orientation.
		In male prostitution with male clients (regardless of the hustler's sexual orientation), it is difficult to generalize on the sexual acts the participants may engage in.
		The male prostitute or hustler is a frequent stereotype in literature and movies from the 1960s on, and especially in movies and books with a gay perspective in which he may be considered a stock character.

		Like the courtesans of a bygone age, hedge funds cater to the wealthy and project an aura of mystery and excitement.
		This is a book about hedge funds and their influence on the financial markets, and on you and me. It is not about upmarket prostitutes or the seamier side of life.
		Yet when I began writing this book, the parallel struck me forcibly between the courtesans of a bygone age - their trade since undermined by a less rigid moral code - and the grip that hedge fund managers exert on their clients.

	Amazon.com: Courtesans : Money, Sex and Fame in the Nineteenth Century: Books: Katie Hickman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		While it gives extensive details of five particular courtesans over a 150-year period of time, contrasting their beginnings, life styles, and societies of the time, the author has also included information on other courtesans as well as introductory material on the role of courtesans in the social structure.
		Hickman's study of five nineteenth century courtesans covers an era of particular interest, because these women, in spite of their notoriety and questionable morals, were a mainstay of French and English society, their favors, parlors, and assignations always in the public eye.
		Although frequently digressing on particular lovers and incidental courtesans of the day, Hickman paints a vivid picture of courtesan life, the glamour, the glory and the quest for fame of some extraordinary ladies who defied conventional propriety and mores, all to advance themselves in the rarified demimonde.
