Tell me more about geishas please!?!
Question: Gei-sha (art person) were, like earlier stated, more like a hostess and entertainer, rather than courtesan. They were not there for the sexual act (but it could be arranged privately, if the girl was up to it) and were trained to be the pinnacle in music, singing, tea, and performance art. The idea was that especially talented courtesans could branch into another, related trade, that could 'keep them from the pillow,' and give them another, respectable trade that they could earn their livelihood with.
They could be highly paid entertainers, without having to submit once age began to take them, since they could give pleasure beyond the pillow.
