“Elise” – A “Modern Day Courtesan” Offers us Fresh Perspective on an Age Old Profession

In this provocative interview, we peek inside the world of a woman who does not fit inside the “traditional” role of a highly successful woman. A self-professed “Modern Day Courtesan” we hear from “Elise” about her (what may seem like radical) ideas and approaches to an extremely sensitive subject – Sex Work. There is much talk these days about a “Feminine Revolution” happening, a sort of Renaissance for women that is becoming more and more evident as the time of the patriarchy gives way to ever increasing females in positions of power. To this end, I met “Elise” and was fascinated by her wits, and practical, grounded approach to the “healing work” she does with men and eye-opening perspective to work that most would shun. Pushing the boundaries of where I normally go on Just For Women, my desire with this conversation is to illuminate issues some women might rather ignore. But if we deny issues in our lives and relationships, we are missing a big opportunity to really wake up and address all facets of our lives as Empowered Women. Please keep your heart and mind open as Elise addresses questions such as: What exactly is a “Modern Day Courtesan”? What the heck does your husband think and feel about your job? What can women do to re-connect with their sexual desire? What is happening for a man who chooses to see a Escort/Courtesan?
