The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana

"When a lover comes to her abode, a courtezan should give him a mixture of betel leaves and betel nut, garlands of flowers, and perfumed ointments, and, showing her skill in arts, should entertain him with a long conversation. She should also give him some loving presents, and make an exchange of her own things with his, and at the same time should show him her skill in sexual enjoyment. When a courtezan is thus united with her lover she should always delight him by affectionate gifts, by conversation, and by the application of tender means of enjoyment."
