So after a weekend of hard work I go live with the radically renovated Chateau Cherie last night. I had not finalized the arrangments with the subscription billing company I’d chosen, CCBill, but I had no expectations of any problems when I was filling out the paperwork this morning. Alas, I was wrong, wrong, wrong. As with so many things in the world of “adult” business, there’s finicky regulations hemming me in on all sides. Here I thought I was providing a site and a service a cut above, with something extra of intelligence, class, and real-womanliness to raise it above the standard “fuck my wet gaping holes” trash full of plastic doll-women and no sense of art, but apparantly because I am “describing herself as a courtesan which is a prostitute.” and CCBill’s AUP prohibits “Any and all sites running and/or participating and/or advertising the direct solicitation of sexual acts ” I am required to drop my beloved designation.
(I’m also not allowed to use the words “menstrual blood” as it’s a - gasp! - bodily fluid, which is also a no-no. Never mind that it’s a regular and perfectly normal occurence in the lives of nearly all real women, at least for a portion of their lives. Sigh.)
Anyhow, while it’s a minor matter to me to remove the words “menstrual blood” from the list of my fetish interests, it really hurts to stop calling myself a web courtesan. It’s not as if I’m offering any actual physical contact; I’m not clever enough at scheduling to manage that even if I wanted to, what with two young kids and a husband to work around, lol! And for crying out loud, is there anybody who’s delusional enough to insist that phone or webcam sex isn’t a sexual service, providing sexual acts? If there are any guys out there who ARE dumbassed enough to claim this, you can be damn sure your wives and girlfriends feel differently.
A courtesan is not merely a fast fuck, but also a woman who provides intelligent conversation and an atmosphere of artistic beauty and soothing acceptance which is refreshing to the mind and spirit as well as the libido. Yep, I guess she’s also a prostitue, and frankly I got no problem with that. I don’t think it’s such a godawful thing that there should be women (and men, for that matter) who choose to work as erotic-stimulators-for-hire. IMO they (we!) provide a valuable and necessary service.
Anyhow, I mean to ask the powers-that-be if I can remain a courtesan if I’m careful to attach a “web” or “digital” to it, to make it even more clear (duh!) that I’m not making any house-calls. I don’t expect them to bend though, so if anybody knows any good synonyms for courtesan I’d appreciate hearing them. The only one I can think of is Geisha, and I just don’t think I could pull that one off, being white and all.
