courtesan injection

An IV-administered dose of a prescription-strength medicine designed to temporarily relieve the intense and deeply-rooted "itch" of a "loose" female who would otherwise feel unable to resist the urge to offer her services as a paid escort to members of the upper-crust. Depending on the particular woman and the acuteness of her lustful feelings, her finances/lifestyle, and the specific aspects of her environmental surroundings (i.e., how many temptations she encounters on a daily basis), this powerfully-medicated shot may need to be re-administered frequently, up to several times per week.
