courtesan / live the life of a courtesan


Explanation:
the writer seems to be differentiating between a common prostitute (whore) and a sophisticated courtesan, therefore luso might mean courtesan / escort / call girl or special in some sense... above the common, not mere prostitute who would have anyone, she seems to selectively choose her clients.

hope this helps
