Presumably not quite the same way and to a differing degree in some (many? most? all?) cases, given there are some differences in how people go about this between the sexes culturally and just...in general, I guess.
Ul'Dah in particular seems like they'd be happy with whomever doing the job, as long as it turned a profit.
Most certainly!
There have been actual cases in real history where men have taken up the title of courtesan and/or "mistress".
It is generally a female term, but can easily be taken by men, trans, fluid, or non-binary characters!
Though, we ought to think up a title for cis-male characters in regards to "mistress". "Lover" is too generic, and "Mister" just doesn't hold the same weight- suggestions are most welcome!
