Tear a stub
Each of the sixteen women has a numbered stub, the kind an usher tears off at the entrance. Printed on it are her door, her one house rule and the line she opens with. You read the stub, you pick one, and her chat starts at that door with those lines. There is no menu of positions and no list of categories. There is a woman, a threshold and a rule.
It sounds like a small thing and it changes the mood completely. A conversation with a place behind it has somewhere to go. It also keeps the talk honest, since neither of you can drift off into generalities when there is a door to stand at.
