Two male sex workers—one straight, one gay—talked to us about the stigma they face and what they’re doing to get rid of it.
David is telling me about his work. He speaks with an effusive, even reverent tone. He talks about having sex with men—for money.
“You have sex with men, you make love to men, sure,” he says. “But what you’re really doing is whatever it takes to make your clients feel like they count—that they’re human for that hour or that weekend. They are touchable. They are lovable.”
A male sex worker on and off since he was 17, David enjoys his work and now advocates for change and acceptance for his profession.
His latest effort has been a collaboration with John Scott and Victor Minichiello, sociologists who have launched a website, aboutmaleescorting.com, to accompany their book, “Male Sex Work and Society.” The website gathers together important resources for male sex workers and offers a platform for experienced male sex workers, like David, to share their insights.
The conversation about sex work has become frank in recent years as mankind’s oldest profession adapts to the digital era. Male sex workers find themselves navigating new terrain when approaching customers and building themselves into a brand.
“If you’re an independent sex worker, likely 95 percent of your work is not about sex,” says Maxime, laughing. “It’s calls, it’s networking, it’s publicity.”
Based in Montreal, Maxime is a male sex worker who services primarily straight and bisexual female clients.
He’s been a sex worker for five years; only after the first three could he do the work full time.
“It took me six months to get my first client,” he says. “Women are virtually unaware as a group that they can have an escort. Men already have that notion in their head because of our history, our culture. Women often need to know that there are other options for them.”
While Maxime and David differ in their clients, they share the same sense of erasure and stigma as male sex workers.
“Male sex workers, whether straight or gay, are not really talked about. They’re blocked from minds of most people,” Maxime says.
This leaves male sex workers with even more of a challenge when trying to access support from law enforcement or health care if an encounter turns dangerous.
“When we walk into a clinic or a police station, if we’ve been robbed or even rapped, we should feel comfortable saying, ‘I am a sex worker,’” David says. “We should be asked, ‘How can we help you?’ Not, ‘Well, what you’re doing was against the law.’”
That’s why the two men joined the website as guest bloggers—to lift the stigma surrounding male sex work and advocate for better support and decriminalization.
“The image people have of male sex workers is totally wrong,” Maxime says. “I’m providing a professional service for my clients. I chose this, and I enjoy it.”

As a result they live double lives and create more and more distance from close relations and the wider society. Isolation and sufferance from not having anybody to share prostitution experiences with is profound. Some men describe[d] how the clients are their main or only social relation to society, and consider the relations as sexual friendships or the customers as father figures."

Male prostitution is the act or practice of men providing sexual services in return for payment. It is a form of sex work . Although clients can be of any gender, the vast majority are older males looking to fulfill their sexual needs. [1] [2] Male prostitutes have been far less studied than female prostitutes by researchers. [3] Even so, male prostitution has an extensive history including regulation through homosexuality , conceptual developments on sexuality, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic impact. In the last century, male sex work has seen various advancements, popularizing new sexual acts, methods of exchange, and carving out a spot in cinema. Today, there is a focus on improving the work conditions, treatment, and mental health of male sex workers.
The terms used for male prostitutes generally differ from those used for females. Some terms vary by clientele or method of business. Where prostitution is illegal or taboo , it is common for male prostitutes to use euphemisms which present their business as providing companionship, nude modeling or dancing, body massage, or some other acceptable fee-for-service arrangement. Thus one may be referred to as a male escort , gigolo (implying female customers), rent boy , hustler (more common for those soliciting in public places), model , or masseur . [4] A man who does not regard himself as gay or bisexual , but who has sex with male clients for money, is sometimes called gay-for-pay , or trade . A more dated term for a man who dressed similarly to female sex workers and tried to pass as a woman is known as a fairy. [5]
Male clients, especially those who pick up prostitutes on the street or in bars, are sometimes called johns or tricks . [6] Those working in prostitution, especially street prostitutes, sometimes refer to the act of prostitution as turning tricks .
Michel Dorais describes four types of working patterns that male prostitutes usually fall into in his book, Rent Boys: the World of Male Sex Trade Workers . [7]
Surveys show that male sex workers often report getting into prostitution after running away from home, due to unfortunate home situations. [2] [7] While the trade is not forced upon most, it is often out of desperation. After running away to major cities with no money, some resort to prostitution to take care of themselves. But, extreme poverty is not the only reason why men and boys partake in prostitution. Bridge Over Troubled Waters Inc, a Boston agency that works with children in crisis, surveyed young male prostitutes and 86% of them reported having to serve someone's sexual needs prior to joining in sex work. [2] Many are sexualized/victimized as children, but there is little-to-no data that confirms a direct link to prostitution. Nonetheless, some do believe that sex, whether casual or transactional, is a way to acquire affection and attention, which can influence their sexual activity. [7] Often, they have no prior experiences with prostitution and do not approach potential clients, but they allow the punters to approach them. [2] Male prostitutes generally do not have pimps, but if they do, it is usually because they have not learned how to find their own clients and take care of themselves yet. [2]
If parents were to know about their child's participation in sex work, they usually have one of two responses. If their clients are older men, and the relationship is going, some parents take that as an exploitative relationship. In this case, they may report this observation. However, other parents may condone the practice. If the household is struggling, they will let their son continue engaging in sex work because they need the additional income, and "working class boys" are expected to contribute to bills. [2]
Male prostitution has been part of nearly all cultures, ancient and modern. [8] The practice in the ancient world of men or women selling sexual services in sacred shrines, or sacred prostitution , was attested to be practiced by foreign or pagan cultures in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament . [8] Male prostitutes are also attested to in Graeco-Roman culture in the New Testament , among many other ancient sources. Some interpreters consider that in one of the Pauline vice lists, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, one of the words malakoi ("soft") or arsenokoitai (a compound of "male" and "bed") refer to male prostitution (or male temple prostitution): this interpretation of arsenokoitai is followed in the New Revised Standard Version .
The Encyclopedia of Homosexuality states that prostitutes in ancient Greece were generally slaves. [8] A well known case is Phaedo of Elis who was captured in war and forced into slavery and prostitution, but was eventually ransomed to become a pupil of Socrates ; Plato's Phaedo is told from his perspective. Male brothels existed in both ancient Greece and ancient Rome . [8]
Court records and vice investigations from as early as the 17th century document male prostitution in what is now the United States. With the expansion of urban areas and the aggregation of gay people into communities toward the end of the 19th century, male/male prostitution became more apparent. Around this time, prostitution was reported to have taken place in brothels, such as the Paresis Hall in the Bowery district of New York and in some gay bathhouses . Solicitation for sex, including paid sex, took place in certain bars between so-called "fairies". [9]
Male street prostitutes solicited clients in specific areas which became k
