Here’s an excerpt from an interesting story on male escorts working to make their dreams come true…
HUFFPOST: Several rent boys, all of whom make between $200 and $400 an hour escorting, told The Huffington Post they see sex work as a job and not a career. “Most people work in the industry so they don’t have to [return to it],” former escort Hawk Kinkaid explained. “Sometimes they’re between jobs or they’re students or they’re starting a business and need supplemental income.”
A typical client, according to the rent boys interviewed by HuffPost, seems to be a working professional in his 30s or 40s who is either gay or bisexual and has no time or interest in dating; otherwise, he’s someone who publicly identifies as straight. (Or in some cases, virulently straight, like staunchly anti-gay pastor George Rekers, who caused a mini scandal in 2010 after being spotted at Miami International Airport with a young man he’d allegedly hired on Rentboy.com.)
Across the board, rent boys say they’re starting to see a rise in younger clients. One escort said he’s recently been contacted by “a lot of trust fund babies and some college students.” Many also said they had clients who were celebrities, athletes and politicians. One said his clients included coaches of college sports teams.
