Podcasts about courtesans

Yes, Sarah has a longtime fantasy of being on the lam, but let's be honest, she'd be caught reading a book in the nearest diner as soon as anyone got serious about looking for her. This week, we're talking about books in which characters are much more serious about being on the run! We break the category into people on the move and people in hiding, but also talk about secrets, about lies, and about how love really is about telling something all the truths you've got.

Join other magnificent firebirds to hang out, talk romance, and be cool together in a private group full of excellent people.

What is Hinduism? For centuries, that question was particularly thorny, both for local Indians and for colonial outsiders. People inside and outside the country tried to define what Hinduism was. Missionaries grappled with Hindu practices, finding both similarities and dangerous differences with their own Christian faith. The East India Company adopted several Hindu rituals to keep the peace, much to the chagrin of officials back in London. And, increasingly, Indians began to define what Hinduism meant as part of a broader political awakening. Manu Pillai tells that story in his latest book Gods, Guns and Missionaries: The Making of the Modern Hindu Identity (Allen Lane: 2024) Manu Pillai is the author of the critically acclaimed The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore (HarperCollins: 2016), Rebels Sultans: The Deccan from Khilji to Shivaji (Juggernaut: 2018), The Courtesan, the Mahatma, and the Italian Brahmin: Tales from Indian History (Context: 2019) and False Allies: India's Maharajahs in the Age of Ravi Varma (Juggernaut: 2021). Former chief of staff to Shashi Tharoor MP, Pillai is also a winner of the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar (2017) and holds a PhD in history from King's College London. His essays and writings on history have appeared in various national and international publications. Learn more about your ad choices.

ABOUT JUPITER JETSON Busty stunning tatted redhead MILF Jupiter Jetson's life has definitely been an adventure. She was a dominatrix in her early 20s, made her living as a musician singing and playing guitar in Germany (and still makes music to this day which is on multiple music platforms), and spent the last few years as one of the top-rated models at Sheri's Ranch. 2020 marked Jupiter's leap into Indie porn and working with TROUBLEfilms, which paid off with an AVN Awards nomination for Best Fetish Series for East Bay Brats, which she starred in and co-produced. And one year later, at age 30, Jupiter made her mainstream adult debut with her first shoot for MYLF.com, and has also worked with Brazzers, Girlsway, Pure Taboo, Tushy Raw, Kink.com, Cherry Pimps, Mylf.com, Team Skeet, Mile High, MilfVR, Fake Taxi, Devil's Film, Adam & Eve, New Sensations, Evolved Fights, Throated, Yummy Girl, SexLikeReal, Czech VR, and WankzVR.   Jupiter got into adult under the stage name Nova Sky after reading an article in Cracked magazine, and a light bulb went off and has become known for being highly orgasmic and enjoying every aspect of sex. She's also graced the pages and covers of ASN Magazine, Eroticism Magazine, Hustler's Beaver Hunt and Best of Beaver Hunt, and was in the running for Beaver of the Year.

"I do believe that literature is a very important source of knowledge complementary to history, epigraphy and archaeology. It is not easy to read drama at the best of times. It is even more difficult to read Sanskrit drama because it is quite out of the ordinary! But there is a lot of timelessness in these plays, however strange they may seem with their tigers, elephants and tantriks! The human elements are the ones we still completely recognize - love, jealousy and ambition. We haven't changed; we are laughing at the same things that people 2000 years ago were laughing at! One of the criteria for choosing the plays was that all the great playwrights had to be represented. And I didn't want to use plays based on the Ramayana and the Mahabharata because we already know those stories. This is a book about introducing different narratives to a lay public. Also, I wanted people to be aware that the millennium of classical Sanskrit drama does not come out of a Hindu universe alone. It comes out of a universe of political diversity, cultural diversity, religious diversity. But it's true that it is also a common universe however much people might have different ideologies and different religions; there are social mores that hold them all together" - Arshia Sattar, author, Vasanta; Stories from Sanskrit Plays talks to Manjula Narayan on the Books & Authors podcast about ancient plays like Shudraka's Mricchakatika ( The Little Clay Cart), Mahendravarman's The Holy Man and the Courtesan, and Harsha's Nagananda, among others, that continue to appeal to us

Happy anniversary, Firebirds! Seven years ago this week, we launched Fated Mates with our first Episode, "A Wolf Without a Foot," in which we planned a tight 18 episode series, here and gone before you'd know it. Seven years later, we're still here, and we're celebrating by doing the obvious: Talking about Sin! We've taken the seven deadly sins and assigned a great romance novel to each one, and we've dug deep into the dark recesses of our minds, our bookshelves and our psyches to do it. This is a long one (obviously), and full of some real "abandon all hope, ye who enter here" vibes. Thanks for being with us new listeners and longstanding ones...we love you! If you want more romance content, maybe you want to join our Patreon, where you get another episode from us each month, and access to the incredible readers and listeners and brilliant people on the Fated Mates discord! Support us and learn more at fatedmates.net/patreon. Also! We stay phonebanking! Join us this Saturday and next to phonebank with fellow romance lovers. Jen & Sarah are joined by special guests who will knock your socks off! Learn more and register at fatedmates.net/fatedstates.

The practice of "sugaring," where a younger woman, the "sugar baby," forms a relationship with an older, wealthy man, the "sugar daddy," in exchange for monetary gifts and other forms of material support, occupies a controversial space at the intersection of modern relationships and ancient transactional paradigms. This phenomenon, often likened to high-class escort culture, challenges traditional notions of intimacy, power, and gender roles, blurring the lines between affection and economic exchange. As sugaring gains visibility, it warrants a deeper exploration beyond its surface-level dynamics. By integrating insights from spiritual teachings, psychological theories, and metaphysical frameworks, we can begin to unravel the complexities and implications of sugaring within the context of modern relational practices.

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall at a high-end brothel and watch what goes on during a day in the life of a successful Courtesan? That would be so enlightening, educational and could help to normalize conversations about sex work. Join us as we chat with America's longest-serving female legal brothel owner, Madam Bella Cummins, who is the proprietor of Bella's Hacienda Ranch, a licensed brothel in Wells, Nevada. She has owned and operated the brothel for over 30 years and can speak at length about the ins-and-outs of legalized prostitution in Nevada and what it's like to manage one of these unique businesses. Bella is always advocating for sex workers including her current fight about replacing derogatory terms like ‘prostitute' which perpetuate social stigmas and stereotypes which lead to further discrimination and marginalization of sex workers.

Alice Little​ is America's most successful legal sex worker in the books! At 4'8", you might not think you'd be able to spot this red-headed Irish-American farmer in a crowd, but you'd quickly notice as her charm parts seas of people for her. Her genuine kindness is magnetic and it's not hard to see why her success is credited to her personality and ability to connect with people. Bryde and Jeremie chat with Alice about her life between work at the Chicken Ranch and her home on her horse farm. She talks about her values, and about her roles as a mentor to other industry colleagues and as an advocate for the rights and healthcare of sex workers. Jeremie bring up sex robots and sex work as recently discussed with guest Delphine, and the hosts get some insightful thoughts straight from a professional source about what she predicts will happen. The conversation weaves through topics from Alice's curious past careers to the commodification of intimacy​ to the role of AI in amplifying or hindering human connection.

Exotische Tänzerin und gefährliche Spionin: Mata Hari lautet der Name, der Anfang des 20. Jh. in aller Munde ist. In Paris, in Europa und der Welt reißt sich das Publikum um Plätze in ihren ausverkauften Shows. Dort erleben die Reichen und Mächtigen eine völlig neuartige Tanzshow, mit der Mata Hari buchstäblich über Nacht zum Star wird. Eigentlich kommt sie aus einer niederländischen Kleinstadt, doch ihr "exotischer", geheimnisvoller und freizügiger Tanz macht sie zu einer der bekanntesten Personen ihrer Zeit. Doch je weiter sie im Erfolg in die Kreise der gehobenen Gesellschaft auftsteigt, desto mehr gerät sie ins Fadenkreuz von Ermittlern. Der französische Geheimdienst wird ihr bald vorwerfen, eine Doppelspionin zu sein - und auf den unsterblichen Ruhm folgt ein tragischer Abstieg...........Das Folgenbild zeigt Mata Hari bei einem ihrer Auftritte im Musée Guimet, Paris (1905).........WERBUNGDu willst dir die Rabatte unserer Werbepartner sichern?

Regency courtesan Harriette Wilson exposed in her memoirs the names of royal, aristocratic, and political men, whom she then blackmailed to keep their names out of those memoirs. Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, was, famously, one of those influential names. Arthur was a national hero and wasn't the kind of man who was easily intimidated; and when Harriette threatened to name his name, he was outraged, leading him to roar the now-famous quote: "Publish and be damned!" Let's talk about what happened next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Diamonds are often thought to have been exclusively reserved for kings and queens, treasures meant for royalty. However, there is another category of individuals who adorned themselves with these precious gems, treating them as trophies and even weapons for liberation - the courtesans!At the forefront of these courtesans is a woman whose romantic destiny captivates hearts and even opens the Cannes Film Festival: Jeanne du Barry. Born into the common folk, she rose to the rank of a countess and became the favorite of the King of France! She left behind a legacy as a defender of writers and artists - from Voltaire to Fragonard - and also as an avid collector of jewelry.Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Madam Bella Cummins has reigned in the small city of Wells, Nevada, USA for 37 years - the longest-standing Madam in rural Nevada's legal brothels, and is a mentor to women seeking to evolve naturally in the courtesan industry, as well as an advocate for licensed establishments and workers in the industry. Bella's Hacienda Ranch sits in a town of just over 1,200 people that sees thousands of travelers every day at the intersection of Route 93 and Interstate 80 in Nevada. The hosts chat with Bella about how language and labels affect how we perceive professionalism and quality service, the importance of the destination as part of the draw, and how Nevada's legal brothel blueprints could help other small communities prosper from the destigmatization of sex work.

Every once in a while we meet someone on the show who makes everyone around them smarter and better for having talked to them. This week Madame Bella of 'Bella's' - a legal brothel in Wells Nevada - proves herself to be one such person. We had a great time, learned some things and we promise we are going to have her on the show again. She is fantastic, come listen and find out why courtesans are the way we move forward.

We want you to check out another podcast. It's called The Oldest Profession podcast. Host and creator Kaytlin Bailey joins Ms Olivia and Ms Erika.This episode includes a candid conversation about whorephobia, slut shaming, sex work advocacy and life as sex workers.Kaytlin Bailey talks about being drawn to “bad girls” from an early age and then learning about the power of courtesans throughout history. She tells us about becoming a sex worker by choice and from a place of privelege as a way to explore to find her own truth about sex, boundaries, and erotic experiences.Insights into the connection between body autonomy, the ability to negotiate consent and sex work are examples from history and her own life.The ladies talk about the difference between a lover and a client. All three agree that clients often treat us better than some past lovers in terms of respect, kindness and value of the time spent together. This leads to a conversation about the spectrum of choice, circumstance and coercion for those who become sex workers. In the Nevada brothel system there is a push to call ladies courtesans instead of escorts. That discussion leads to a conversation about names that includes the use of the term sugar baby or sugar babies.Kaytlin is also a standup comic. She talks about the historical similarities between court jesters and courtesans. She turned her experiences into a critically acclaimed one woman show called Cuntagious. She is working on the second show called A Whore's Eye View.Kaytlin Bailey: https://oldprosonline.org/about/ https://whoreseyeview.com/Mistress Olivia: https://www.experiencedmistress.com/Mistress Erika: https://intelligentphonefantasy.com/PS: When Kaytlin talked about the link between the military and sacred whores, Ms Olivia tired to explain about seeing a production that used ancient plays to shed light on current issues. She didn't remember the name but looked it up later. Check the the Theater of War: https://theaterofwar.com/projects

Olivia Bentley is today's guest. You'll hear why she prefers to be called a courtesan rather than an escort. She mentions the societal status of courtesans in ancient times. This leads to a discussion of power, independence and the role of erotic companions as power brokers in their own right. Miss Bentley is a fascinating woman:*15 years in the adult industry. * A Masters in Education. * An executive at an investment company* Competitive fitness model. She talks about her decision to become a local escort and then her move to the Bunny Ranch in the Nevada Brothel system. This origin story is one of creativity, triumph over adversity and a candid conversation about the stereotypes around paying for sex.The ladies talk about financial independence and the freedom to live full lives that comes from having a career in the adult industry. In the words of Olivia Bentley: “It's a game changer to go pro hoe.” While that comment makes all the ladies laugh, there is truth to this.Other topics include:STD testing and the porn industryHow Only Fans has changed the adult industry by giving content creators control BDSM, kink, fetish and erotic humiliationAnd how her love of lifting weights is opening a new niche - muscle worship!

WHY THE COURTESAN ARCHETYPE IS THE OLDEST PROFESSION IN THE WORLD.I believe our human soul has always known that our Eros is a pathway to divinity.I believe that this is one of the core drives that pulls us towards sex.  We in fact are looking for God through sex.  We are looking for our original home through sex.  We are looking for the end to our separation identity through sex.We know this, and yet this knowing is murky for the vast majority of us.Even among the sacred sexuality community, I'm not sure how many of us are living this reality and reaching for it directly.  Which is ok.  Perhaps it's just the process of us finding our depth along this particular pathway.First we hear of the possibility.  Then we follow and experiment.  And perhaps for a long while, we are in ‘fake it till make it' modality.  I feel that many people today are in this phase of discovering the scared in the erotic.I think even when we pay for sex, when we seek Courtesans or choose to be Courtesans, we are engaging in this sacred portal that is possible through the Erotic.  All Courtesans are partially Priests and Priestess — even if the Courtesans themselves don't believe this much themselves.— Om RupaniOmRupani.orgwww.OmRupani.org

This heroine is a working courtesan and the hero is the stereotypical second son meant for the clergy. The set up and the twist were both extremely unique. Meg took a while to read this one but ultimately enjoyed it. Laine was mostly frustrated that the characters weren't smarter.
