The only legal male prostitute in Nevada quit because of lack of demand.

13. I remember reading this story a couple years ago

Probably true. Here's a picture of the guy, available at an easy Google Image search:

I'm a bi woman who leans towards men, and I don't find him the least bit attractive. Overdeveloped upper body, pitiful little T.rex limp arms, the package in the shorts is NOT promising, and the less said about his face, the better. Also, I like chest hair, and he has none. And WHY THE HELL, if you're trying to advertise your body, would you wear knee-length shorts? Those don't flatter anyone, of any body type, or any gender. Why are you hiding your thighs? I would think thighs would be very important for a potential sex buyer. They certainly are for this one!

(Am I judging him too harshly physically? I'm judging for commodity value and explaining exactly how he doesn't pass muster for me. As a woman, I know I've been judged on my looks and found wanting many times over. I'm no beauty rose either. But if it's really all about the commodity value, than fuck yeah I'm gonna be critical and picky.)



One man alone attempting the brothel life, probably for kicks, is not a representative sample, especially for something as traditionally culturally forbidden in the US as the idea of women paying for sex. We have NEVER been acculturated to do this. We have NEVER been taught that it was okay, or safe, or acceptable. One single man trying and failing in a totally new realm, probably overpriced at that, says nothing--especially when he's kind of fugly.

There are parts of the world where male prostitution for wealthy older women is not that rare. My mom, traveling in Egypt alone, was approached by a "tour guide" who offered to introduce her to a "handsome, strong" young man for a fee. (She's savvy, she caught on fast, she said, "No, I'm married," and after she said it about 5 times and gave the guy about $10 to shut up, he understood that she really meant it.) There is a very real business of men in peak tourist sites abroad who come out to meet the tour buses and boats full of wealthy older women from Europe, and he thought my mom was part of that crowd. Male prostitution for women is real, but the transaction protocol is very different.
