Then theres the term courtesan or VIP/Elite courtesan which is really the same thing as an escort. The term courtesan gives them an excuse to charge more. Giving the impression it's something more specialised form of escorting. If that's the case I've met some escorts who should be called courtesans. But don't charge the same extortianate rates. Most escorts advertise evening appointments of 4 hours or overnights. Which would allow for dinner dates etc Which is essentially the same thing as been a courtesan but without the elite prices.
