Some of these fit you quite well, others like "Unfortunate woman" or "erring sister" don't fit.  You haven't seemed in any way unfortunate, nor particularly erring, nor in fact are you fallen-- though it's quite possible that you adopt these for reasons not obvious in your TER postings.

Are legit, the rest are ones that I collected, a word list of sorts. I love words, especially Old Middle English slang, but that is best saved for another day. These are good passwords though.

NM, Do you never sleep? I went to bed a 2:45AM [East coast DST] after reading the Board and when I got up at 5:45 there were 3 new NM posts! Is there really more than 1 NM?

I've known a number of providers who bristled at the suggestion that any of these terms would apply to them.

Nicole of Southern California (NOSC) comes to mind.

Let's be real. Courtesans lived around a court, where they were kept, often in succession, by those who actually belonged there. They weren't hourly employees, even at a very high price.

Let's just call a spade a hooker, as the saying goes, OK?

Not Middle English (at least, i don't think so -- my copy of the OED isn't handy), but it has got a good 'Down Under' sound.

Cheers!

Courtesan par excellence!

...Just some simple praise where praise is due as one who has experienced "a few of the ladies"

Cheers!

Well, doesn't "NOSC" simply stand for "Nicole, Order of the SuperSweetIntelligent&Sexy Courtesan"?

disagree-

the courtesan was an equal player for men to be both mentally and physically entertained- these ladies fill that role

if you don't focus on the hiring agent or the period of employ there is a parralel.  The role is similar

The courtesan devolvede inot the mistress- and the mental part was dropped.

NetM and sedona, et al are just bringin' the mental part back...

Where's Pimp For A Day when I need him????? I need some testimony, Pimp!

Dude almost all nursery rymes started as catcalls, political songs or low life poems.  

Frere Jacques is an anti semitic song!

Many songs that use cats are about this hobby...

Get an etymology (sp?) book, its pretty funny.
