Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875)
Danish author of "The Little Mermaid" and "The Ugly Duckling".
In his later years, Hans Christian Andersen visited Paris brothels and
had intercourse there--verbal intercourse!
He spent his time simply conversing with unclothed prostitutes.
Indeed, many modern prostitutes say their customers often just need someone to
talk to.

Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)
Dutch impressionist painter of "The Starry Night".
Vincent Van Gogh liked prostitutes because they accepted him as
a fellow outcast. One, the Flemish Claudia Maria Hoornik, lived with him
for over a year and gave birth to his son, Willem. She modeled for several
of Van Gogh's works. After moving to the town of Arles in southern
France, Van Gogh often visited the local brothel, and made it the subject
of his painting "The Brothel".
