GenQ - For the not so straight individual

Male prostitution

In same-sex male prostitution, it is difficult to generalize on the sexual acts the participants may engage in. Many hustlers only permit the client to masturbate them or to perform oral sex on them; others engage exclusively in penetrative anal intercourse of their client; others are exclusively receptive in this respect; others are unrestricted in their sexual acts.

Some young men come to hustling as a temporary or occasional means of making money; some engage in hustling only once; others work as a hustler for an extended length of time. Some rent boys supplement their income by work as a pornographic actor or model, nude model, massage therapist, burlesque dancer, go-go boy, erotic dancer or (in the Philippines) "macho dancer", by performing in sex shows or by running a personal website (with, for example, pictures and erotic webcam shows available for subscribers). Others have jobs entirely unrelated to the sex industry.

Financial incentives may be the primary reason that prostitutes engage in this work, but they are by no means the only reasons. Hustling may also confer on the hustler a sense of self-worth (the hustler is desired by the client), or of social status (the hustler may be taken to expensive restaurants or travel destinations), or of erotic gratification, or of societal rebellion (the hustler is breaking social conventions). Conversely, the hustler may also experience a sense of self-destructiveness or exploitation. The reasons for hustling are thus extremely personal and may involve a mixture of positive and negative justifications. This same complexity may underlie the justifications of the hustler's client: although sexual gratification may be his primary motive, the client may also be moved by many emotional concerns (including issues related to sexual orientation, power and emotional attachment).

Some male clients, especially men who identify as straight, may prefer escorts who are cross dressers or pre-operative transsexuals.

The gender of a male prostitute's sexual partner, or the sexual act that the hustler participates in, is not necessarily indicative of the hustler's sexual orientation. Male prostitution in other cultures

Over the thousands of years humans have been treading the planet, there has been a history of male sexual ambivalence pertaining to the trade of sexual activities with other males whether for stamina, socially or even in some cases and this continues still today controversially 'religiously'.

Where there has been a sign of man's existence, there too has been cultures and whole socio-economic civilizations where sex, sex trade and homosexual acts both in and out of these practices had been established with it's own unique stigmas attached, however none as well known or wildly spread in reputation as today's modern male prostitute.

It's perhaps this evolution and growing acceptance not only with sexuality in a social setting but also in the more agreeable frame of mind, that each person may work as a 'free agent' to secure and maintain a safe and healthy way of life, and in doing so contributing to society whether pumping gas at the petrol station or curing illnesses in hospitals, or trading sexual services for monetary rewards. Taking the view stance of such a personal career choice is done so in that particular mind frame I have found often when gathering data and speaking in person with gay men aswell as straight men who work as escorts particularly for the gay/bi-curious clientele. The mentality seems to be that to work as an escort, is as reasonable a career as to study law or teach children. The only difference being at what personal lengths each individual is prepared to go to fulfill their duties to either employer or theirselves.

So be it, this sounds like an amazingly liberal point of view, and could be mistaken for total acceptance of the industry in it's whole, though prostitution is illegal in the western world, bar a few small pockets and the majority of Europe, it's by no means main stream nor is it regulated enough to ensure those who wish to work as an escort are protected with insurance, holiday pay nor job security legislation.

There for those workers choose to do so at their own risks, day in day out with the knowledge that they themselves have the opportunity to create their wealth, independence and stability in an economy where exploitation is the very core of business structure, and they go unscathed.

Many consider the torso shots and brief descriptions with statistics out line the majority of male escorts working in the business in each and every major city. The truth is this is only the tip of the ice-burg, and admittedly perhaps most unprofessional tip available for general consumption. Truth be known, there are young men around the globe training to be Male Geisha’s. That is strenuous work out regimes, grooming skills and studying foreign languages, some are studying as many as 4 at one given time to ensure no matter which continent they may be on, or in which social setting, they will always remain powerful through speech and knowledge, and in the end come out in front while also leaving a memorable mark on their date. Of course this is not your run of the mill 20-something who splurges his dirty money on ridiculous designer labels, snorts anything through a straw if in front of him, and has the nastiest tongue in Soho, a real son of a bitch to get on the wrong side of! We are referring to real professional men within the industry.

Speaking with Kallen Minksite (international escort, model and porn entertainer) New York City:

"When you are in the zone, you can easily make in excess of US$4000/hour and an average if of the same caliber of US$25,000/night"

Q: Big difference to a few hundred dollars for a quick sniff & tickle and Hokey Pokey isn't it?

"Well my rate is the same all the time, whether I am on the catwalk, gay porn or escort work, roughly ₤3000 for an hour, take it or leave it, but I can command such a fee."

Q: What do you consider the future of the industry and the opportunities it can offer?

"If you are good, you are shit hot, unbelievably so, that even guys working with you or that you know will not comprehend the possibilities and money you can make. The future of the industry will hopefully depend more on professionals than the weekend warrior boys, who dampen the industry with their cheap prices, no goal and ambition, usually drug abuse and no real experience in modeling, porn or demur. Simply put they just pull their pants down and bend over with their pretty face being pushed into a cheap sofa watching pirated porn on a stolen plasma screen or spend most of the job inhaling crystal-meth with legs up in a sling."

Q: That seems to be quite a harsh and opinionated view point to take when you could be a role model in the industry is it not?

"A role model? That’s laughable Wil, how long have you known me in total?"

Q: Almost 5 years, but enough to know these are hard words that are not really common from you, as I have seen you loose lovers, find hope and grow your career into your own marketing and management agency.

"The difference? this is Business, nothing more and nothing less, how many people have I helped and held while ill? Donated thousands to charities and fund raisers for HIV, and the education and prevention of teen suicide as well as work with adolescence in coming out and dealing with domestic violence from parents due to their sexual orientation. You can only help so much, and in this business it's a mixture of who and what you know, these are your weapons, as any one determined enough can build and sculpt an amazing body, what is between the ears is paramount. So in saying this, either you have it, or you fake it. And sooner or later those fakers end up in hot water and certainly do not stick around long. If at the very least this will be a deterrent to young gay guys trying to make a quick buck, because they are the ones who end up with HIV and addiction quicker than they can blink an eye, with no business plan, brains or knowledge of the industry, they are the real victims of a lucrative yet cut throat industry"

A dear friend of mine for many years, Mr. Joshua Lauders has recently taken over the reigns of 'Fleiss Hunks' in the house of Miss Fleiss. (www.fleisshunks.com.au)

Joshua Lauders has been a dear friend to me for almost 5 years; he has studied extensively in behavioral sciences and the art of etiquette along with psychology and deportment at the highest levels both in his own country and abroad within Europe and USA. Coming from an extremely wealthy family, this entrepreneurial private school boy turned to alternative work as independent from the family fortune. Once obese due to medical complications now appearance obsessed and groomed and styled accordingly to the highest in Men's Fashion Circles, Josh's name and self vamped empire is the word on everybody's lips in the Southern Hemisphere along with a selected few notable International contacts reaching as far as Moscow, Manhattan, Stockholm, and naturally London where he spends time shopping and searching for new out fits and the latest fashion accessories. Joshua runs Fleiss Hunks and maintains its renowned impeccable standards, organized introduction parties for VIP clients, luxurious boat and yacht cruises along with promotion & marketing for the agency and the individual men who are currently in training or working on the books.

A discerned and internationally renowned escort agency strategically based in Sydney's eastern suburbs taking full advantage of the beauty of the Sydney Harbor and pleasant and care-free mannerism of the Australian people, giving the boys the best quality of life while at home with great weather, great economy and even better food and accommodation then any major city north of the equator.

Miss Fleiss along with Fleiss Hunks was opened in 1994 as Australia's first and still number 1 high class escort agency, though with the clever marketing and business savvy of Joshua, Fleiss Hunks is now a strong and popular provider of fine men Internationally in particular to UK & Western European VIP’s who have traveled to Australia, and had the pleasure of our service first hand, only to find everything else in his home city or place of employment fails miserably in comparison.

"Our clientele are not usually 1st timers wanting to scratch some itch or dispel some lurid wet dream from their thoughts, our clientele are more often than not international business men who are either in the vicinity for business or pleasure. Which ever the reason, it is certainly the pursuit of pleasure they search for when they call to make an appointment to meet our men. And that is what they get"

The agency's biggest hassle is men being spoilt with luxury cars, complete luggage collections and even a young man was purchased a boat and an apartment.

Miss Fleiss's approach to the industry was one which had previously been regarded as flamboyant and ludicrous. That is charging in excess of 150% more than the going rate for male escorts working independently or with unprofessional agencies. Even in respect to international rates, Miss Fleiss shot above the mark and made good on a promise which very many could not guarantee "the very best in the business."

Rates set between AU$300-AU$700 per hour depending on the standard, rates do jump considerably when negotiating international travel, accommodation and transfers, though an arrangement can be easily met under many circumstances.

"Keep in mind, your request is our demand, you want one of our men to be on a 75 foot yacht in Cannes in 48hrs in black tie and wearing a red carnation on the lapelle of his tuxedo all you need do is ask. This is what sets us apart from the ordinary, our attention to detail, our ability to reach you anywhere in the world, and our promise of perfection every single time."

The fundamental concept behind the success of Miss Fleiss & Fleiss Hunks?

Miss Fleiss has always operated under three points.

1. Presentation

2. Presentation

3. Go back to the first point.

What can be expected if one was to audition for Fleiss Hunks and make the cut?

"Our guys have been flown all around the world for select VIPs clients catering to men, woman and couples, our hunks must be that step above the rest"

What sets Fleiss Hunks apart from individual escorts and agencies?

"Body and brains equipped with the entertainer concept our hunks are like gay geishas specially trained to be the ultimate male courtesan. Sex is a by-product; the guys are entertainers and the ultimate actors"

It is the introduction and appearance of agencies whose reputation and demure have succeeded over the years which has manipulated mainstream opinion to consider the 'meat market' as a legitimate industry of willing, high caliber professionals who not only provide a believably unforgettable service sexually and physically, but also have knowledge and the aptness to entertain and enlighten whether through personality, speech or spirit.

The competitiveness between agencies and individual sex workers is relentless and as many confess, a full time job in it's self whether due to excessive physical training, continual tanning and hair removal, learning foreign languages to open new markets internationally or simply offering a service differing from the usual.

It's just a gay fact of life that over the course of many years, and especially if you have been involved in the 'scene' you get to meet some wonderfully diverse and amazing people who have an astonishing array of professional skills and abilities.

I had until now not really considered how many of my friends are involved in either the porn industry or the escort industry, so be it I do not really know any male escorts on a 'real name' basis, nor do I feel that is necessary, how ever after a detailed look at the meat market, and delving beneath the black and white print of weekly classifieds in the local gay rag week after week advertising men, boys & beasts, I have gained a respect and subtle reverence to those working in the industry and actively working to change, diversify and better it’s reputation.
