Some geisha find ways to marry, but their husbands usually take on secondary roles to support their wife&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geisha are often stereotyped as being emotionless and sexually promiscuous. In reality, they are just as capable of feeling love and passion as anyone else is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it can be difficult for a geisha to have a relationship with a client. If she were to become too emotionally attached to someone not her Danna or patron, she could lose the support of those around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Geisha find lasting relationships with men, but their marriages are often unconventional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the husband of a geisha might be a businessman who travels frequently or is not involved in the entertainment industry. The husband often takes on a secondary role to support his wife&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"geisha-and-prostitution\">Geisha and Prostitution:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Geisha, like prostitutes, sell their bodies.
