Exotic Introduction: The first Exotic Businesswomen. The First Exotic Businesswomen We have all heard stories about ancient sexually empowered women such as Concubines, Courteseans and Geisha's. I was told a beautiful story about an ancient Chinese Emperor who had a a large variety of concubines from which to choose from every night. All day the concubines spent their time choosing just the right costumes and carefully applying their make-up in hopes that they would be the most beautiful and seductive of all the concubines and be chosen to join the emperor as his lover that evening. When the time came for the Emperor to make his choice, he would release a butterfly, believing butterflies to be attracted to purity and beauty, and whoever the butterfly landed on was the emporer's lover for that night. There is much we can learn from the concubines and courtesans and geishas that can help us to unleash the independant goddess within. A courtesan is a person paid and/or supported for the giving of social companionship and intimate liaisons. The word is generally reserved for those who enjoyed the most social status for such services. Although the term has been applied to people from several cultures and historical periods, it is most applicable for those to whom it was first given: the women of Renaissance Europe who held a socially recognized, if not quite socially accepted, position as well-compensated companions. Courtesans had freedoms that were extremely rare for other women at the time. They were not only financially comfortable (when business was good) but financially independent, with control of their own resources rather than dependency on male relatives. They were very well-educated, compared even to upper-class women, and often held simultaneous careers as performers and artists. Geisha: Literally, "art person"; female performers who specialize in entertaining and providing companionship to men at dinner parties and similar venues. They are skilled in classic Japanese arts such as music (especially the playing of the stringed samisen), poetry and calligraphy. They first appeared at the start of the Edo period, as an off-shoot of the group of highest-class courtesans. Geisha are not prostitutes. Although in the past the right to take their virginity (an event called a mizuage) was sold, they were not obliged to have sex with any customers, even the men who paid dearly for their virginity. Geisha women maintain many different relationships with men. They are not prostitutes. It is appropriate for geisha to have a patron (danna), whom she is involved with emotionally, economically, and sexually, however it is up to the geisha whether she wants one or not. Geisha wear their hair in a bun or a uniform style with a single comb and two pins. They also wear elegant kimonos and beautiful white make-up. Geisha also entertain at business banquets or parties for a considerable amount of money. There they engage in conversation, and perform for the guests. Geisha will either perform "Tachikata" which mainly does traditional Japanese dance or "Jikata" which mainly sings or plays an instrument. Tachikata are usually the maiko girls while Jikata are older geisha women. They also pay greater attention to the guest of honor. Geisha also do not discuss anything that was said at a party or business meeting outside. In addition to acting on the wife's behalf, a geisha may also offer business advice, as she is likely to hear the details of important business deals while performing or serving businessmen. At times, a geisha may also attempt to encourage a man's talents or bring them out, as it would be socially unacceptable for a man to suggest that he is talented in an area. We would be best to mix the art of the dancer with the art of the courtesan with the art of the Japnese geisha. You want to take the best of all three anbd that is really what is going to give you the most suiccess. Take the positives from all 3.

Striptease enjoyed a revival with the advent of burlesque theatre, with famous strippers such as Gypsy Rose Lee. In 1940, humorist H. L. Mencken coined the term ecdysiast as a euphemism for strippers; it derives from the Greek ekdusis meaning "to molt." Many erotic actresses and actors in the US make their main living from their earnings from personal appearances as featured strippers, in much the same way that many musicians make their main living from live performance, with their recordings serving as advertising. Many in the striptease industry appear in pornographic movies or magazines to be paid more for appearing at stripclubs as "feature dancers" because they are "porn stars", which clubs advertise to bring in a bigger paying audience. The more famous the "porn star", the more the exotic dancer will be paid by the stripclub to perform at their club. A striptease is a performance, usually a dance, in which the performer gradually removes their clothing for the purposes of sexually arousing the audience, usually performed in nightclubs. The "teasing" involves the slowness of undressing, while the audience is eager to see more nudity. Delay tactics include additional clothes under clothes being removed, putting clothes or hands in front of just undressed body parts, etc. Emphasis is on the act of undressing along with sexually suggestive movement, not on the state of being undressed: in some cases the performance is finished as soon as the undressing is finished. Striptease is an ancient art: various accounts in the Bible describe the daughter of Herodias (often called Salomé) as dancing for king Herod Antipas, who offered her anything she wished as a reward. Modern interpretations of these stories presume that this dance was, at least in part, a striptease. The Biblical account goes on to relate that, prompted by her mother, she then asked for the head of saint John the Baptist on a platter. What do I do From the A strip club is a nightclub which specializes in striptease. Striptease performers are called, among other things, strippers or, the term preferred by those in the profession, exotic dancers. There are two main types of dancer: feature dancers and house dancers. House dancers work for a particular strip club (or local group of clubs). Feature dancers tend to have their own reputation as a minor celebrity, and travel from town to town, making "feature appearances". Porn stars often earn much of their income as feature dancers. A variation on striptease is lap dancing or contact dancing. Here the performers, in addition to stripping for tips, also offer "private dances" which involve more attention for individual audience members. The contact can vary from a simple up-close dance with no touching, to physical contact with the stripper to, in some clubs, sexual intercourse. Variations on this theme include table dancing (performer dances on or by customer's table) and couch dancing (customer sits on a couch), or sexual acts between two strippers, like touching, kissing and, depending on the gender, oral, fingering and / or cunnilingus. Along with physical attractiveness and clothing, the main asset and tool used by the stripper in recent years is the stripper pole. Some are lured into the profession as a whole due to the attractive salaries they can receive in the form of tips. S Yeah, only that the sex industry was there for me when I needed it. I don't think I would have accomplished so much -- moving to Santa Cruz, getting into the UCSC -- if I hadn't done it. People don't think of it like that -- people think it drains you. But it's only something you can do when you're young. I used it then I got away from it. When I moved here I had nothing -- no money, no friends, no place to stay -- and within a week of stripping I was able to rent a room and later a studio. I went from having 2 bucks in my pocket to going to [San Francisco] City College and having my own place and having $3,000 in the bank. I couldn't have done that working in a cafe where you're paid, after 2 weeks, $180. Back >>
