Male sex workers have revealed exactly what it’s like to do their job.
Taking to Reddit, men who work in the sex industry have discussed the reasons for taking on the job — as well as trying to dispel the negativity that surrounds their work.
From helping bring in a greater cash flow to paying off student loans, men were quick to reveal their thoughts on the industry.
One man revealed that he now lives debt-free thanks to his sex work during his uni years, writing: “I wasn’t a full time hooker, but I escorted exclusively for just one man.
“I was a uni student, he was married with kids.
“It lasted for three years and I easily made at least £600 [$773] every month.
“Paid off all my student loans and I’m now debt free!”
Another revealed that his clients were usually well-off with pretty normal requests: “The clients were usually wealthy, high-end women over 35 years of age.
“Oldest client I took on must have been around 55.
“The most common requests would either be: Dinner at a fancy restaurant, followed by drinks in some VIP Lounge, followed by spending the night at her hotel room.
“Being her date at an event, her showing you off to her friends, basically acting as her boyfriend for the night. Then spend the night at her hotel room.
“Go directly to her hotel room, have sex, then leave.
“I didn’t have many weird requests, no pervy stuff.”
Others had been in the industry for a few years and had also gone into porn.
One man, who made the sex industry his full-time career, revealed: “I’m a male sex worker and porn performer in Australia that’s been doing this job full time for the past four-and-a-half years.
“I only see female clients. Looks wise, I see everyone. All ages, from 20 up until nearly 70.
“All body shapes and sizes. If you’re working as a sex worker and you’re discriminating based on looks you’re not going to very successful.
“There’s a common misconception that there must be something wrong with clients, that they’re not able to go on a date or sleep with someone outside of seeing a sex worker.
“In my experience that’s never the case.
“The most common type of booking is just one that involves a fair bit of talking and sex.
“Nothing overly kinky with my clients for the most part.
“Sometimes there’ll be a bit of light bondage involved, tying someone up, blindfolding them, using toys and perhaps some light spanking.
“When it comes to the ‘least common’ requests, I don’t do anything I’m not comfortable doing.
“I’m a sex worker, not a sex slave. I still choose what I want to consent to. There have been plenty of times I’ve said no to a request.”
One man even revealed how he worked as a nude housekeeper — but would occasionally have sex with clients “if they were attractive or offered a lot of money.”
He added: “There were a couple of creeps but mostly the guys were nice.
“My best experience was with this guy who lived in what had to be a five million dollar swanky modern looking house on a lake.
“We ended up eating chef prepared food, crushing around in his boat and swimming naked in his pool and he paid me $3,860 to spend the night and have sex with him.
“Some retired guy who had some business in oil. I didn’t clean a thing that day.”
