His last customer must have been pretty traumatized…
…what? 
Or Patrick Dempsey in Loverboy?
(such as it was, of course)
Actually I’ve been told he gradually transferred from gigolo to kept man as he got older. All things considered it’s not a bad way to spend your retirement!
Yep. Only the clients are usually old fat ladies in their 70’s with no teeth and crusty feet
I’ve got a few He-Bitches in my Man-Stable. Two more manginas like that and I’ll be a millionaire!
Rich old ladies who can pay for the best health care. And besides, it’s not like most 80 year old guys are sleeping with 20 year olds. More to the point, I think he wound up staying as a kept man with one woman till he died.
I’m not saying it’s the lifestyle for everyone, or for me, but he seemed to do all right by it.
I actually had a friend in college who worked as a male escort. He said the customers were usually lesbians who needed a date to some function where they didn’t want the people there to know they were gay, or women who had no date prospects who needed a date to some function where it would “look bad” to show up alone. They would usually meet beforehand to create a story about how they met and started dating.
He said that sex was strictly optional and not implied, so I don’t know if it really counts as a male prostitute. Got paid well, though. $100/hr.
My principles of decorum and propriety prevent me from bringing up that old joke, with the punchline “Welcome to Jamaica, mon! Have a nice day!”
Nope. Not gonna bring it up. 
Did the clock stop when the sex started? If not, then it really counts as a male prostitute, all disclaimers about “you’re buying my time and whatever else happens is between consenting adults” aside.

Pet peeve hijack: “transgendered” is not a third sexual orientation; gender identity is orthogonal to sexual preference.
I understand the definition, KellyM. Show me where I used it as such. There were straight performers, gay performers, and one whose performance included poetry with a strong transgendered theme which, though probably indicative of the author’s desires, didn’t tell me whether “straight” or “gay” was specifically applicable.
Believe it or not I had occasion to tell that one just last Wednesday. Love that joke.
I am given to understand a certain Norma Jean made “brotheral” visits before she got all discovered. This could just be a nasty rumor.
As for me? I’d be a horrible giggolo:
JANE: Oh no! I seem to have forgotten my money!
I.M.: Hey, no problem…you can just “work off that debt”
I’d starve to death.
Other notable film depictions: The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, Living Out Loud, and The Theory of Flight.
While I was living in the Bay Area (1987-1995), a guy started up a business providing male prostitutes for women. He advertised a bit too indiscretely and was busted. After the bust, he was asked by a reporter if the business got many calls. “Yeah,” he responded, “but they were mostly from guys looking for a job.”
So with you mentock…but the only reason that story worked in the end is because he fell in love…HOW ironic!
Now back to “real life”…Get off my cloud! Only one thing more pathetic than a woman who sells herself…Need i say more?
Women are experienced in selling. Lots for nothing. Dare the men to enter the arena…
Hmm, get paid to have sex with young, hot women?
Why is this bad, exactly?
Nevada statutes about prostitution.
Can anyone find where male prostitution is prohibited by the state of Nevada? I can’t. And I’d hate to think a career opportunity was closed to me.
