Did/do Geishas fuck?

I'm not sure what exactly you're getting at here.

oh i getcha

>mfw people who don't realise the text in that image is doujin-tier dirty talk by all involved

I read once that in those times a woman's neck in japan was considered very erotic, and they showed that somewhat and drew attention to it with the designs of the white facepaint on the neck. They weren't 'slutty' by western whore standards, but they did dress erotically.

They weren't prostitutes either. Japan also had prostitutes. The idea was that a Geisha was an artist in her very being, by being elegant and talented at dance and music and conversation and entertainment. The price for a geisha's virginity however, was very high, and they could take a kind of male benefactor and sleep with him exclusively in exchange for money and presents, so as to earn freedom from the Okiya (brothel equivalent) who they were massively indebted to after their training.

necks are v. erotic user

>The price for a geisha's virginity
Somehow, reading these words gave me a pause.

But particularly so in Japan in the age of Geishas. Equivalent to say, legs or hips.

Oh?

>why didn't they dress a bit sluttier
in a way they're similar to Jpop girl group idol
they're a professional performer and a sexual fantasy for society which fetishise purity

from time to time some will fallen to become actual prostitute / jav artist and make me sad

i should know Im asian

Basically what this user said. I would also add that while they did have sex, that was not the point of them. They were entertainers.

I never understood the nobles' obsession with black teeth.

Why is fetishization of idols so prevalent in Asia? It often crosses over to creepy territory. Is it because of the lack of sexually repressive norms in the cultures and religions (buddhism, various animisms) of the area?
Why is blatant fanservice so common?

Was there a male equivalent to geishas?

I don't think so. When have women ever been in a position in any culture to be able to see other men aside from their husbands and maybe family?

Maybe there was demand from homosexual males.

Furthermore, if their main purpose was entertainment, then there doesn't need to be sex involved at all.

Also, traps.

Entertaining female company. There was definitely a sexual element, it was just much more refined and required much more effort than mere prostitution. Maybe a replacement wife or, female companion.

Homosexuality is not really looked upon favourably in Japanese culture now, I can't imagine it was then.

They were close to what the Romans were like. Older-younger relationships were the usual and they were openly bisexual, especially the buddhist monks. There is also ukiyo-e shunga gay pornography.

I must confess to being ignorant here. I was only extrapolating from knowledge of current Japanese attitudes.

Fuuuuck, I wanted to post this portrait of Caravaggio and ask whether the famuos prostitute Fillide Melandroni, once she got popular, is comparable in role to a geisha:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_a_Courtesan_(Caravaggio)

But then I found out that the painting was destroyed in 1945. ;_;

Geisha performing arts.

My actual understanding is that that most geishas did not, and do not, fuck their clientele most of the time. And this does make sense to me: they are, after all, plying a somewhat different sort of trade: being cute, a conversational partner, putting on a show (tea ceremony, playing that two-string thing or whatever), and just generally being polite companionship, a weekend's entertainment for whoever it is this century: the samural, the salaryman, etc. Men do also want a certain companionship and conversation, apart from sex, as any honest man knows.

But.

And this part makes total sense too - if a geisha has a trusted and long-time client, then it may happen that the two fuck. I don't know cultural particulars however.

I believe (could be completely wrong here so correct me if I am) that Samurai would have sex with their young male apprentices or some shit, I also have to say I'm not entirely knowledgeable on the matter, but its something I picked up while doing a little reading.

It's called art
And its history AND humanities
You bigot

Geisha aren't prostitutes and never have been. You got fooled by propaganda. There were many prostitutes who claimed to be "Geisha" for money though. If you're talking their private life sure, but their life is a busy one

Jesus look at the size of that donger.

I can't imagine how they would've represented a nigger's cock.

Geishas were initially not directly connected with sexual services. They were employed as entertainment for the guests of oiran, actual Japanese courtesans. That's why geishas were required to dress more modestly not to overshadow flashy, opulent oiran. However, oiran were mostly focused on just providing sexual services, while geishas were more educated and refined, and in 19th century started getting more popular, as they also provided more sophisticated entertainment.

Weren't some of them assassins, like shogun total war 2 taught me?

I don't get it.

currently you can point to Host Clubs for an equivalent but I don't know about a historic equivalent to that.

>The first geishas were men, entertaining customers waiting to see the most popular and gifted courtesans (oiran).
(The forerunners of the female geisha were the teenage odoriko ("dancing girls"): expensively trained as chaste dancers-for-hire.)
>By 1800, being a geisha was considered a female occupation (though there are still a handful of male geisha working today).

It was obviously a joke you doof
