You might be right. I just have a hard imagining that when one combines men
and booze and professional pleasers let's call them, that sex isn't

spending
time at home.

Right. Which proves my point: the singing and dancing.
It's a logical point.
While
"That geisha cannot sing (or dance)"
would be _contradictory_ (if not otiose) -- since it would amount to it
saying "That geisha is not a real geisha" --
"That prostitute cannot sing (or dance)"
becomes pretty trivial (since few can, anyways).
Cheers,
