Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Geisha are not prostitutes!. Geisha were Japanese female artists and entertainers!. They did however sell their virginity in order to become true women and help pay back their debt to their Okiya (Geisha house)!. The process is called Mizuage but is no longer practiced!. Most of the misconception comes from WWII, when US military men believed Geisha's to be prostitutes or slept with impersonators!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
