Courtesans at the House of Blushing Petals are a cut above; these are do not consider themselves women in the sex trade. They are luxuries for the rich and the powerful, men and women of beauty educated in a variety of entertainments, intelligent and charming, possessed of the social graces needed to navigate political channels. They are items of social status, like fine bottles of wine or jewelry, to be paid for and admired as a novelty.
Considered crass fodder for whores, sex is not meant to be an automatic expectation between a Petal and client. Consideration of such matters takes time, a relationship fostered and desires built before it even enters the picture. When a courtesan permits such intimacy, it is always her choice, but discretion is assured else it could lead to her downfall.
Canny courtesans in history have often been the quiet counsel of great men and women, providing solace and ease and an open ear for those they see regularly. The House rigidly enforces a code of discretion and client confidentiality, and what secrets pass into the hands of its courtesans absolutely do not leave its doors: this is a code of honor that absolutely cannot be broken, at the peril of the girl responsible, as this privacy is the foundation upon which the entire enterprise operates.
When one becomes a member of the House of Blushing Petals, one can expect to be treated lavishly and with the utmost respect. It goes without saying that secrets stay within their walls, and they provide a place to unwind and relax. Play a game of cards, partake in fine wines and foods, and perhaps some witty banter while escaping from the trials and tribulations of a wealthy person's day.

It is important to note that the Blushing Petal courtesans consider membership a privilege of the client. Along that line, if the Petals feel that their clients are trying to abuse the spirit of the house, a member can be asked to find pleasures elsewhere. It is always at the discretion of the Petal if and when sexual intimacy may enter the picture regardless of the level of membership.
Silver Membership
Silver Members pay 1 platinum a month. This allows them access to the Petal's main salons for basic entertainment (conversation, drinks, and games). They are allowed the occasional massage and could have one night in the guest suites that month if they were trying to 'get away from it all'. It is a very safe level of membership for those that just wish a discreet place to get away from the pressures of life.
Gold Membership
Gold members pay 2 platinum a month. A married couple could have a gold membership for 3.5 platinum. This allows a member all access to the services of silver membership with the added benefit of being able to bring a guest with them each time they visit the Petals.
This may be a still be a good level for those that want to be able to bring a friend with them to enjoy the arts of the Petals.
Platinum Membership
Platinum member is the most prestigious membership at 3 platinum a month. A married couple could share a platinum membership for 5 platinum with each member having full individual benefits.
Petals know who the platinum members are and pay special attention to making sure their desires are met from the moment they make a request of the Petal until they are satisfied. This membership does not allow abuse of the Petal. Despite every whim being catered, platinum members are /not/ entitled to treating Petals like common whores and will be expected to abide by the spirit of the house in regards to sexual encounters. Platinum membership allows the member up to five guests at any given time.

The Master or Madame of the House is the ultimate authority figure. He/she makes the business decisions for the House including which persons will be clients.
Petals or Full Courtesans are those that have been fully trained and initiated through the auctioning of their virginity. Some courtesans have come into the house other than through youth, and were not privileged to that process.
Blossoms are those courtesans that have completed training and currently have their virginity for auction.
Trainees are those children and younger teens that are not ready to entertain clients. They are the ones that do the chores of the House as well as devote themselves to study of etiquette, politics, history, and personal preference in art choices.
