Well, Geisha were originally male so I was wondering if anyone knew of any good stories with a Taikomochi or male geisha. Or even just a entertainer at an Ochaya or a really high class Prostitute? Kabuki actors were almost always high class prostitues and especially the onnagata were very sought after by patrons. Anyone have any stories happening in a Kabuki theatre?

Not a prostitute or anything, but he's a kabuki actor

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

lol yah, actually that was the manga that i learned that kabuki actors used to be ancient prostitute.
actually it taught me about the exiatance of kabuki actor in general.
but i do remember that in ancient korean culture, clowns were the traveling prostitute. it seems that ancient culture had a double-edged meaning of "entertainment" don't they
i was serching through and found this one.
Kabuki - Hana no Shou
i haven't read it, but the title seems self-explanatory
