LAS VEGAS — America’s first legal male prostitute has left a rural Nevada brothel after a two-month stint that generated plenty of attention but fewer than 10 paying customers.

A replacement has been hired, but Davis hinted it was possible that Markus, a 25-year-old Alabama native, could be back.

“I don’t know, he hasn’t told us yet,” Davis said.

1. Catering to females?

:rofl:

[KittyWampus]

2. an alternative lifestyle website I visit had women suggesting that a brothel for females should be

set up more like a spa to generate business.

As in, you check in for a massage or whatever treatment and then go for a bout of sex IF that was desired.

I think that's about what I'd want.

37. There should be all kinds of bells and whistles.

Lots of fantasy decor -- the Ancient Egyptian Room, the Arabian Nights Room, the Renaissance Venetian Palace Room, etc. -- with his and her costumes to match. And guys who look like Johnny Depp...

*ahem* Excuse me, I'm going offline now...

3. The business model is somewhat flawed nt

4. Not to worry, the republican party has plenty to fill the void.

[RainDog]

5. females don't have to pay!!!! silly. n/t

[JI7]

6. the guy was not attractive , most women could get someone better without paying

[Liberal_in_LA]

8. His picture here. I think most women would be more attracted to the romance cover look

But men with that look could be models, actors or such

17. Ew.. My eyes!

28. how in the hell

do you spend that much time in Nevada and still be that white?

[Mojeoux]

38. Is that supposed to be a sexy photo?

gag response just gag response

[Hannah Bell]

42. ewww. "romance cover look"? hardly. he looks like a balding redneck running to fat, with braces.

[ingac70]

9. No doubt! ugh. n/t

10. I've never been to a brothel but

if I did, I would want more than one choice. Just bad marketing IMHO.

[KittyWampus]

12. Agreed. Also, more services than just sex.

[amerikat]

22. Reminds me of an old joke.

prostitute walks up to a guy at a convention and say, I'll do anything for $50......the guy thinks for a moment and says....paint my house.

[pipi_k]

26. Hah! At my age...

I'd be saying something similar...


Come over and scrub my shower, dust my ceiling fan blades, paint the barn...


:7

11. "10 paying customers"

as opposed to free customers ?

:)

If he's like most guys the negotiation went like this

Women: "How much for sex"
man: "well im a male prostitute, that'll be $1,000"
woman:"No thanks"
man:"Well how about free?"

[Ian David]

13. It's hard work. Let's see if we can get Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" to spend a day doing this. n/t

[slampoet]

35. Keep your dirty delicous fantasies out of my head.

[salguine]

14. Am I the only one who thought of...

[Liberal_in_LA]

15. Nope, see earlier post

[Crunchy Frog]

31. No. I was going to post something too, but 2 people beat me to it.

[Warpy]

16. If he'd catered to gay men, he'd have had plenty of work

Even ugly women can get it for free if they're not too particular.

The problem is that "too particular" part. Expecting a bathed human male who's totally sober is too high a bar for a lot of us.

[Bluebear]

19. Please. With those teeth? He may have a future opening beer cans with that mouth.

As to paying gay clientele, uh, no. :)

[Warpy]

29. I haven't seen his picture,

but supposedly his attributes are all south of his chin.

[Bluebear]

33. Feast your eyes :)

[jmowreader]

18. Hopefully his replacement won't be butt fucking ugly!

Let's see...if I was a woman willing to pay someone to screw me, I'd want him to look like a guy off the cover of a trashy romance novel. This guy looked like he should have been driving a garbage truck.

And it probably would have helped if he was willing to service men.

[Gwendolyn]

20. He's too much Deuce Bigelow and not enough Antoine Laconte.

Actually I don't know what it is, maybe just that his look SCREAMS male prostitute. Now if he looked like Oded Fehr/Antoine Laconte, plus they threw in services as KittyWampus suggests, they could market that much better. I'm seeing three Antoines plus a long, luxurious massage and then a whole bunch of other stuff... if I were single who knows.

Maybe there's no business for male prostitutes in the boonies of Nevada because the only women out there are prostitutes themselves. :P

[HughBeaumont]

21. Uh, is this for real?

Do male prostitutes that cater to females only not get that the market is, shall we say, saturated with men who'll do this sort of thing for free anyway?

Females, if they want to get some, pretty much have this entry fee - "Let's Go." Throw it out there enough and SOME desperate drunk bastard will chomp that worm.

Holy shit.

[KittyWampus]

34. as a woman, I find your sentiment sort of unfortunate. I am not ever interested in having sex

with "some desperate drunk bastard that will chomp that worm".

[Missy Vixen]

40. Interesting

>Throw it out there enough and SOME desperate drunk bastard will chomp that worm.<

Of course, I'm probably much too choosy, but I tend to enjoy men who have a passing familiarity with good grooming, are funny, intelligent and thoughtful.

"Desperate drunk bastards" need not apply, and I avoided them while single.

23. Women have better toys.

(A woman told me that.)

[Kaleva]

24. What a week! First HCR passes and now this!

[arcadian]

25. Well at least he got laid 10 times more than he would have if he hadn't taken the job.

[TwilightGardener]

27. Saw his picture. I wouldn't even want a freebie.

[JI7]

30. i thought he looked like someone i could see paying someone else to have sex with him

[Webster Green]

32. He looks fucking goofy..

I'm surprised he got 10 paying customers.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. He got 10?

I'm wondering how many of them were reporters for Alternative Weeklies doing humor pieces.

[Regret My New Name]

39. I'd be happy if I could get 10 people to pay me for sex...

[cherish44]

41. No.

seriously if a woman pays for sex it's because she wants some kind of fantasy thing. This is a guy you could find in any dive bar in the country and he'd be more than grateful to have sex with you for free.

[Tabasco_Dave]

43. I guess he never saw the movie Midnight Cowboy

:rofl:
