Here's some of what the Kama Sutra says on courtesans.
The different kinds of courtesans are:
- A bawd
- A female attendant
- An unchaste woman
- A dancing girl
- A female artisan
- A woman who has left her family
- A woman living on her beauty
- And, finally, a regular courtesan
All the above kinds of courtesans are acquainted with various kinds of men, and should consider the ways of getting money from them, of pleasing them, of separating themselves from them, and of reuniting with them.
When a courtesan is able to realize much money every day, by reason of many customers, she should not confine herself to a single lover; under such circumstances, she should fix her rate for one night, after considering the place, the season and the condition of the people, also having regard to her own good qualities and good looks, and after comparing her rates with those of other courtesans.
She can inform her lovers and friends and acquaintances about these charges. If, however, she can obtain great gain from a single lover, she may resort to him alone, and live with him like a wife.
Now, the sages are of the opinion that when a courtesan has the chance of equal gain from two lovers at the same time, a preference should be given to the one who would give her the kind of thing she wants. But Vatsyayana says that the preference would be given to the one who gives her gold, because it cannot be taken back like some other things, it can be easily received, and it is also the means of procuring anything that may be wished for. Of such things as gold, silver, copper, bell metal, iron, pots, furniture, beds, upper garments, undervestments, fragrant substances, vessels made of gourds, ghee, oil, corn, cattle and other things of like nature, the first, namely, gold, is superior to all the others.
In considering her present gains, and her future welfare, a courtesan should avoid such persons as have gained their means of subsistence with very great difficulty, as well as those who have become selfish and hardhearted by becoming the favorites of kings. She should make every endeavor to unite herself with prosperous and well-to-do people...she should become acquainted with energetic and liberal-minded men, who when pleased would give her a large sum of money, even for very little service, or for some small thing.
Men want pleasure, while women want money...When a courtesan consorts with men, she should cause each of them to give her money as well as pleasure.
