No. A geisha is skilled in non sexual arts. She may (or may not) have a sexual relationship with a client, but this is her own business, and is not part of her entertainment. An Oiran (a Japanese courtesan) is the woman you are thinking of. She was skilled in the sexual arts, and freely sold her services. The Oiran do not exist in modern society.

What is the symbolism of the Geisha?
According to Google research, the Geisha is a symbol of "traditional values" in Japanese culture. Gieshas are not seen as women of ill repute as often thought. (Geisha have been confused with the high-class courtesan of the Edo Period known as oiran, from whom they evolved.) The closest English translation of the proper noun "geisha" would be artist/performing artist. They are artisans that train for long periods of time (taking many years of work before becoming a full-fledged geisha), therefor they could, in some sense, symbolize perseverance. There also seems to be a lot of secrecy represented in their lifestyle.

It is almost impossible for a western girl to become a Geisha. Geisha are only Japanese females, and they begin their training around the age of 16. There have been two instances that non-Japanese women have been allowed to become Geisha, and that is because they were being near the Geisha as a study, and the Geisha took them under their wing and allowed them to go through the process. If you would like to become more like a Geisha, take lessons on manners, etiquette, poise, as well as Japanese dance, poetry, conversation skills, and classic Japanese instruments.
