Cortigiana Oneste (Honest Courtesan)

The terms "Courtesan" and "High-Class" have been diluted, used by those who do not truly understand their meaning nor possess their attributable qualities.

Spending a lot of money for a well-designed site does not give one class nor deem them a Courtesan. Wearing expensive clothes, or having high-quality photos which may enhance one's presentation still does not give one class. One's level of education or academic achievements does not give one class. Income certainly does not determine if one has class or is a Courtesan, neither does having a multiple hour minimum. Pretentiousness certainly does not give one class, just the illusion of it to the untrained eye.

Class is Defined by How One Treats Others.

A Courtesan is one who exhibits class and understands more importantly a sense of "fair play" in regards to other girls in the business. Graciousness is also a quality that must be possessed in order to belong to the echelon of Courtesan. The ability to make good judgments in regards to one's own actions is paramount in being considered a Courtesan.

Engaging in back-stabbing behavior, in an attempt to malign and damage the reputation or cause harm to another escort is not acceptable and separates one out of the Courtesan league of adult service providers.

I strongly urge adult service providers to consider this in discerning with whom they wish to associate. I strongly urge clientele to consider this before booking a date as the escort's scruples or lack there of may affect him down the road in regards to the continued maintenance of his confidential information.

In summation, I urge you to understand that you can not assume that a particular escort inhabits the qualities of a Cortigiana Oneste (class, discretion, graciousness, sense of fair play) simply by viewing a well-designed website. Its determined by her behavior both on and off the internet in terms of how she treats others and if she indeed possesses integrity.
