Lord Byron wrote,from Venice in 1817,
...state of morals is much the same as in the Doges' time; a woman is virtuous (according to the code) who limits herself to her husband and one lover; those who have two, three, or more, are a little wild; but...only those who are indiscriminately diffuse...are considered as overstepping the modesty of marriage.
Rousseau admired the 'graceful manners of Venetian courtesans' and their charm.
Sir Henry Wotton, 'not being made of stone', he could not trust himself 'among the famous Venetian courtesans'.
Venetian lady(left) and Venetian courtesan
Both ladies are expensively dressed and, as Wotton and others confirm, could be indistinguishable in clothes and manners...Venetian wives look and behave like courtesans.
