We're not here to promote prostitution or anything, but we do want to show you a picture of one of our sources, Ryan James:

Guys tend to assume that heterosexual male prostitutes would quickly go out of business -- after all, if a woman wants to get laid, can't she just stroll into any bar and say, "Who here wants to get their fuck on?" But, women seek out the pro's services for all sorts of reasons. "I've seen a girl who was studying full time and working a lot, and she was about to turn 21 and wanted to lose her virginity before [then]," Ryan says. "But, she 'couldn't be bothered going out' to find somebody she wanted to sleep with. [I also saw] a 50-year-old lesbian who had 'sleep with a guy' on her bucket list. She just wanted to see what it was like."
Ryan services women only, and our other source, Albert, markets to the dudes. But, he found that servicing male clients is tricky. There is still a significant social stigma associated with homosexuality, so any male prostitute has to build in a certain amount of "expectation of failure" every time a man calls to book them. For instance, a significant number of the folks who contact Albert ask him to do an "in-call", meaning they want to come over to his house. That's still illegal in his part of the world, unless you've paid to have your home brothelized. "Generally, they ask to do an in-call because they're closeted," Albert says, "or cheating on their wife/husband, and they just want to remain as anonymous as possible and don't want a 'rentboy' in their house ..."
