Ain't it though. Hey when's your birthday again? I keep forgetting. Drinky drinky. Anyway, I've been reading history and I've come to realize the whole "professional escort" situation suggested in Firefly/Serenity is more common then I had thought. In modern society somehow women who have sex for money have gotten a bad rap of being sleazy stupid whorebags, and they are. But they haven't always been. In Japan the Geisha were a high ranking class of female entertainers who spent their entire life learning the traits Inara learned. They were better educated then even noble women and would have to be well read and perform various forms of art. They were trained in eroticism, but weren't hired exclusively as whores, but as entertainers at parties and even as intellectual conversationalists. In Japan they were called the Geisha, but in ancient Greece the same class of women with a similar role as sophisticated entertainers was the Hetairai, as well in India, a similar class existed. Anywho, this was my study break. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.
