It wasn't too unusual for handsome men to offer their 'services' or company though a lot of people tend to glorify the women doing it instead.
The guide is decent though I do hope more people begin to realise that it isn't just women who perform those roles. Even in the present day there's a lot of male escorts who can be hired to attend a dinner party or be intimate company for a single night.Â
In Eorzea I doubt it's much different - especially since sexuality seemingly isn't something that is discriminated against. Cross race relationships, however, do seem to come with negative baggage though that seems more based around long term stuff rather than flings.
My own character has been an 'escort' of sorts in the past. He'd make use of his silver tongue, good looks and bedroom capabilities to acquire information from those he managed to seduce.
So far I haven't been deemed an 'ERP fiend' for that - but I suppose that has something to do with the fact that I don't ERP at all unless I've known someone for a while and trust them quite a bit.
