The World of Courtesans c8.265

c8.265

Bharata has again suggested the ways and means that could be employed to satisfy different types of courtesans. For instance, a covetous woman yielded easily to gifts of money, an educated woman was attracted by a man well-versed in the arts, and a clever woman admired a sportive person. A sensitive woman wanted her will to be respected. A girl of sixteen was pleased with gifts of play things. A timid woman needed cheering up when she was afraid, and getting attendants etc. pleased others.
