[Article](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/29/americas-first-legal-male_0_n_516817.html) In 3 months Markus Destin had fewer than 10 paying customers. His replacement Y. Not has about matched him. I thought people that read the original thread from a couple months ago would like to know he already quit after a poor start out the gate. ---

Funny. Not really surprising, though. Going to him would be like admitting you’re the world’s biggest loser. ---

Why is a woman a "loser’ is she wants a good looking guy who presumably has excellent bedroom skills and comes with zero chance of drama? Sure, if you just want to get laid you can probably meet a guy in a bar. But in my experience your average one-night-stand is not very sexually fulfilling- lots of guys just have no skills. If that’s what you are looking for, maybe it is reasonable to want an expert. ---

The guy has issues that’s for sure. I hope he didn’t sound like that with other women, or he wouldn’t get many would he. ---

> [@Nicolas\_Bourbaki](#): > > Did you even _look_ at the picture? I looked at both pics. That’s NOT a sight that turns me on. Oh, the body is nice enough, but that face… And I sure wouldn’t want to pay a guy for sex unless he’s had a lot more experience than this one admits to. Apparently, he thinks that he has to have an erect penis in order to please a woman. If so, he’s appalllingly ignorant about how to bring a woman to orgasm. ---

For some reason, I assumed a male prostitute would service men, not women. Honestly, I’d rather have sex with a vibrator than with a strange man, especially one who is trying to make a living screwing other women. Ick. The fact that he’s about a “5” on the attractiveness scale doesn’t help his cause, though it really wouldn’t matter if he looked like Pierce Brosnan circa 1980. To me, sex is not just a physical thing. If it’s not going to be with a guy who turns me on intellectually as well …then I’m not interested. Oh, and I’m not paying for it. ---

I said in the last thread that I’d never go to a male prostitute, but I might consider going to a gigolo type, wherein sex is only part of the bigger package. I believe I said I’d do it if it was something I normally couldn’t do on my own. Like, say, I pay a high price, and get an evening in NYC, at fine restaurants, dancing, dinner, whatever. That might be worth it to me because even if I had the money I might not know where to book it or whatever. Prostitutes for women have to do more, I think. Not just sex. And no, he is not attractive one bit. Ick. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/first-legal-male-prostitute-in-nevada-quits/535370.md?page=2)
