Women, would you go to a male prostitute?

[Green_Bean]

@ZipperJJ

Same here. I don’t think I’d even want an escort for a fun night on the town. I’d be bummed because I knew he wasn’t going to call the next day to see what’s up.

Maybe you’re on to something…

Perhaps male prostitute services should include a courtesy call service for the next morning.

[Taomist]

Oh hell no; I’ve never been a big one-night-stander, but unless there’s a real connection, I’d prefer to just have some fun and move on. Having a fake call-back after fake sex? Gah! no no o no no…

I probably wouldn’t pay for a stud; even though my mental fantasies about sex clubs and certain types of play are entirely do-able, I don’t think I’d get to that ‘trust’ phase quickly enough to give it a shot.

I can only suppose there are PLENTY of men and women with one-time fantasies that they’ve never indulged due to 1. They only want to try it; they really don’t want to get that involved with a local club, or 2. They really WANT that anonymity or 3. People with similar kinks aren’t any more likely to turn you on looks-personality wise than anyone else, so…being able to look at a lineup of videos, choose a scenario, and go to town for one night with someone you already can tell you’re attracted to…

Yep, I could see that. However, I’ve always had a little side-dream of being the Madam in that scenario, more than the customer.
Hrm, maybe I need to watch HBO’s ‘Hung’

Does he come with a firefighter uniform?

[SeaDragonTattoo]

I read the article before posting. EEW. No. He’s gross, and stupid.

While I’ve been known to take people home from bars on occasion, I don’t actually plan for that, and it’s always prefaced by at least a few hours of intelligent banter and commonalities. I couldn’t just show up somewhere looking for a random guy to stick his dick in me for a fee.

I could see hiring an escort, spending an evening, and if it was really enjoyable and I really liked the guy after all that, yeah, I’d probably end the night with some nookie. It would be a horrible disappointment if he was bad in bed after I paid for a night out, though! I’d want my money back.

Isn’t that the case for a lot of high-end female escorts, too, though? They’re paid to be a companion for the evening, be cultured, and even attend events with their clients. They don’t really do the 1-hour hop-in-the-sack like this guy.

[Cat_Fight]

Not exactly the same thing, but an interesting look at Japanese Host Bars. There was also a doc on the subject… damn, can’t remember the name… anyway, though most (if not all) of the men were only putting out emotionally with their clients, they seemed to be going through a lot of the same things female prostitutes complain of. Being drained, feeling used and like phonies themselves, not being able to maintain real relationships, doing drugs and drinking too much, working too much, etc. Interestingly, many of their clients are prostitutes themselves.

That’s certainly the romantic notion, although I think escorts who actually do that are greatly outnumbered by the run of the mill hop-in-the-sackers. Probably 100 to 1 at least.

Hell, the whole reason most men go to a prostitute is so that they don’t have to take her out first.

Duece Bigalow was a silly, stupid movie, but it had one thing bang on-target - the girls may have hired the gigolo for sex, but what they really wanted was a good time. If I was going to go to a gigolo it wouldn’t remotely be about the sex. And I like sex…just not bought and paid for.

What I would hire one for would be a wonderful evening on the town, stuff I couldn’t do normally. Like…an evening in Manhattan, at a wonderful restaurant. I would expect him to know wines and order a fine wine. He’d have to pick the restaurant, too. Then a lovely club. Some place I couldn’t get into or wouldn’t know how to get into on my own. Maybe a private showing at a museum beforehand…you know, the whole nine yards.

I’d expect him to be sophisticated and high-class. Or maybe I’d want him to take me to a day out in the country, go horseback riding, or something like that, but I’d expect him to know everything, get me into private lessons, whatever.

Just things I am not familiar with or can’t get access to normally. Why would I want to hire one just for sex?

[EvilTOJ]

Damn, I need to lose this gut and get to primping! If all I need to be a gigolo is take ladies out on the town and wine em and dine em then I’m signing up for that! Of course all I can hear in my head now is David Lee Roth singing Just a Gigolo. Over and over and over…

[Anaamika]

I did look up Colin Farrell, btw, and he’s appreciably trashy, but still hot, so I suppose that’d work.

@Bam Boo Gut

Joe goes off to investigate then indicates a really hot bloke who’s arrived at the bar.

I think Joe’s a good guy!

But yes, what I would be looking for would be basically a male geisha.

[Two_Many_Cats]

Sex? No.

But paying for a nice looking, witty, intelligent, friendly guy to go to restaurants, museums, and the opera etc with me, I’d sure consider it. I mostly do that kind of thing on my own, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to while doing it.

[Carol_the_Impaler]

I would, but there’d be so many qualifications as to make it implausible. There’d be so many qualifications that what I’d be looking for is a high-end escort, and there’s no way I could afford it. The biggest qualifications, of course, being someone who’d I’d find attractive enough to turn me on and who was safe.

In my fantasy (heh), there’d be women-owned and operated bordellos that feature male prostitutes for women that could safely and sanely provide services ranging from the boyfriend experience to a quickie. Maybe on the planet Mars.

Make that Venus.

@Anaamika

I don’t think the one in the article is remotely attractive, either, but again, I wouldn’t be necessarily going for his looks. I mean, I’d like him to look nice, but clean cut and appropriately dressed for the occasion is way more important to me.

If he can fake a British accent then that’s a point in his favor.

[cut glass]Darling, a fake British accent wouldn’t fool the cognoscenti for one minute.[/cg]

I had a lot of fun with Joe. He was always trying to hook me up. It got to the point where he was actually willing to PAY for that. Would you really use a male geisha though - isn’t it just a fantasy? I know people who’ve got what’s called here “lover-for-sale”, toyboys I suppose. It’s always a bit off balance.

@faithfool

For the sexual aspect, I don’t think I could get over however many of gazillions of women he’d been with. I realize he’d be safe, but those kinds of high numbers ooge me out irrationally. For just a companion, I’d probably feel it would be too strained, like going on a blind date. For simply a cuddle factor, I don’t think I could do it because it wouldn’t be sincere. So overall, I guess I’d be left out by my liberal-minded self would like to think I wouldn’t be too hung up to give it a try. But I guess not.

Wow. You pretty much describe my feelings on prostitutes/escorts exactly. The thing is, I’m a guy. Since I don’t tend to talk to women about this sort of thing, I didn’t realize that so many women feel the same way I do.
