Disclaimer: I have no qualms about prostitution. I find it mind boggling that it’s illegal in any sense to charge for something that’s available for free. If this country would stop legislating morality and focus on shit like educational funding, we’d have smarter kids. Smart kids equal educated consumers, which means less money spent on shit like this and more money spent on things that matter.
The Las Vegas Review Journal just reported that Male prostitution is officially legal in Nye County, Nevada and the Shady Lady Brothel is leading the way. You’d think that in a state where vice rules and a state motto of “what happens here stays here” that the stud scenario would be a no-brainer. Not so for all Licensing Board members it seems.
Both Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo and County Commissioner Butch Borasky Both take issue with the decision.
Their argument: the health implications of the male-for-hire scenario haven’t been adequately addressed.
My argument: these are two guys who look one step away from Phil Donahue and the creepy Colonel from Boogie Nights (after they throw him in the slammer). They’re two guys no one wants to fuck and they’re bitter about some random stud in their county getting paid to dole-out action.
To quote the article:
DeMeo is worried that female customers won’t — and maybe can’t — be subjected to the same sort of pre-sex examinations that men undergo in most of Nevada’s legal brothels.
As a practice, DeMeo said, prostitutes wash their customers and check them for signs of disease before getting down to business. Without some similar procedure for female customers, he said it could increase the chances of someone contracting a venereal disease, even with the use of a condom.
“I don’t want to see that happen. I don’t think anybody else does either,” he said.
Seriously? DeMeo obviously knows fuckall about women.
We love to be pampered. Taken care of. Nurtured, and especially in the sexual sense. After a day of being a type A personality, I’m ready for some TLC and submissive behavior. Let’s have a bath. Wash me. Touch every square inch of me (even if it’s under the guise of affection, we know it’s an examination). Chicks dig baths. Hot guy wants to give me a scrub-a-roo? Where do I fling my clothes?
While I appreciate what the Shady Lady’s doing, I’m not one for indulging in cash-for-cunnilingus. As open as my words are, I’m fiercely protective of my sexual play and require intimacy to feel open and expressive. I’m fairly sure that’s something money can’t buy – at least for me. While I won’t contend that I haven’t partaken in the occasional zipless fuck in my 37 years, I do know that it’s not what I’m looking for from here on out. While I’m supremely fortunate to be in a relationship that is –exquisitely permissive – with regards to my needs, wants and kinks, I figure there are some out there who need a little extra something (or someone) to get them through.
Me? I’ll stick with my Private Dick. I’ll also tell DeMeo and Borasky that they should look at the statistics regarding STDs and protected sex and give you guys the upside to studs coming to corral in Nevada:
Fantasy
Whether male or female, we all have fantasies. If we can pay to have our tits done, tummies tucked and teeth whitened, why can’t we pay for the fulfillment of thoughts that linger in the kinky crevasses of our minds? For women engaging in a male-for-hire scenario, there’s a lot to potentially fulfill. For the power broker gal, exploration of the submissive. For the timid, the opportunity to be in control. For the lesser-experienced, the chance to explore new territory with a “guide.” I won’t deny that I think the UPS man is sexy in his run around town browns…I have no doubt that it’d be entirely possible to live that one out with some advance notice, too.
The Forgiving Threesome
Some couple wonder what “a third” would add to their sex play. A brothel with studs offers up a multitude of possibilities. For a guy wondering what it would be like to watch his girl with another guy – the stud is safe. A no-strings, no phone number scenario where he remains king while his queen gets her just desserts.
For the woman, she can indulge without threatening her male partner’s role. She also has the opportunity to safely let him explore any male-male contact in his fantasies (should the stud be willing).
For both, it’s the chance to try a kink on for size with no strings attached. Pat for play and go on your way.
Acceptance
Prostitutes are a special breed. The good ones are likened to Geishas and courtesans, sought-after companions who are more than just sex, but thought, spirit and body combined. Why is it so foreign a thought to think that women would seek out a companion-du-jour? Some days just suck and it’s great to have someone there. Studs offer women what call girls and kept women have offered men for ages: a captive audience in exchange for a fee. And it doesn’t even have to be sexual. Sometimes we just want you there. To talk. Conversation is a fantasy in and of itself.
As I’m quite content with my bedroom door closed and mind open, I’m curious to hear your thoughts about the new livestock on the block at the Nye County Fair. I’m really interested in your feelings on Nevada’s new boy toys.
Ladies: are they a service you would use? Why? Why not?
Men: how do you feel about prostitution? Have you partaken?

I remember a few years ago when Heidi Fleiss proposed a male brothel. I don’t know how that turned out but I do remember reading that the male brothel she proposed was a long drive.
Anyway, I think men are just as capable as women in the area of sex work but I doubt that there will be as much profit for the brothel owners. Even a sex toy is more guaranteed to produce an orgasm than a -pricier-gigolo.
The only thing that bothers me (I think males are just as capable of maintaining health standards) are the cheesy names for brothels. I mean…Shady Lady? WTF?
Regarding the brothel names, there are some less…skanky? Shari’s in Pahrump is one of them. And I agree – I don’t see the allure as I stated in the article, but there are purposes beyond simply “getting off” that make themselves evident. After all, guys can masturbate just as well as women can but have been seeking out prostitutes for centuries. Can’t be for JUST the orgasm, can it?
I am all for legalizing prostitution. Will it solve the problems of abuse and corruption of these men and women, not entirely, but it will help considerably. Will it solve the spead of disease, again not entirely, but it will save many lives. And will it stop rape altogether? No, but saving one person from being raped is worth it to me.
As a male who has worked in the medical and psychiatric field…I am telling you…Rape, Sexual Abuse, Sexualy Related Murders….WILL decrease!
Would I use it? No, because being married means to ME that I don’t do that. At the same time, I sure wouldn’t mind a Kiosk in the mall where I could step in, get a quick handjob, and continue shopping with my wife for another 6 hours for that ‘perfect top’ to go with her just purchaced shoes that don’t go with anything else she owns!!!
Wouldn’t you rather have your boyfriend or husband relaxed while shopping? Damn…I think I’ll open one…and I’ll call it, “You’re in Good Hands” Ill be interviewing this weekend, applicants apply within.
Woody – OMG. I’m all FOR the hand job booth at the mall! But then again, I’m a fan of anything that might make my man happy
Thanks for the kickass idea – maybe these two legal eagles don’t need to get laid – maybe they just need a mall kiosk hand job 
You’ve had your teeth whitened?
Not a fan of prostitution…my dad was an undercover cop in Vegas in the 60s and busted up more than one white slavery ring.
But to each her own.

Ah yes, the ever-popular “fashion massage”. Having that a the mall would be a great idea. Might make me not hate shopping so much.
dario:
don’t you think that pushing things deeper into the underground is the wrong direction?
I may never use one but I think brothels (for both sexes) and legalized prostitution are long over due.
You know who will use this brothel of men? Other men.
hmm, “male prostitution”… Seems everyone is sticking w/ the hetero point of view, that’s fine and all… But, when I hear the term, I immediately think “gay” consumers. Ex: The out of town business man, looking for an attractive homosexual encounter. This makes me wonder what NV’s laws on sodomy are… (no not really.)
“Bill” / Miss Spoken – It most likely would be more lucrative then males servicing females.
Something interesting to note in the LVRJ article is that, as with any pay-for-play encounter, all parties must be willing. Thus, that means that in order for a homosexual encounter to occur, you have to have a stud who goes both ways. THOSE, in my opinion, will be harder to find than a straight guy or gay male who’s interested in servicing one side only.
I did consider the homosexual implications, but you’re right, Bill – it begs more discussion, and perhaps more thought on the side of the brothel owners as well.
I think legalizing it all over the world is exactly the way to go! Come on…porn movies are legal…and those people are getting paid…just ask Jenna Jameson!
I think men are afraid women will turn to that all the time because these men are skilled and PAID to pay attention…why go back to shitty sex for free when you can have awesome sex for a few bucks!
Dear Redhead – What if – as a guy – I imply I enjoy both sexes, but that is not the case. How do they prove otherwise?
I can’t stop drooling over the guy at the top….What’s your post about again?
@ToyWithMe – From my understanding, brothels “pre-approve” prostitutes for certain acts. A customer makes clear what they’re looking for and are offered only those who will perform those services. Brothels are strictly business. If a guy says he’s prepared to go both ways, he better be sure of his commitment.
I once toured Shari’s in Pahrump (the nicest possibly in Pahrump). We were given a tour of the place by one of the girls. She explained everything very casually, yet matter-of-factly to us. Girls are on 6 week contracts and work 7 days a week. They have shifts and must clock in and out. There is a menu of pre-approved, priced services. Money is paid by the customer in advance – nothing is left to chance. Additional services must be negotiated and paid prior to rendering. It’s less the “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” and (believe it or not) more McDonald’s: you get what you pay for.
@Sheree – laughing. my. ass. off.
Sheree – Killer abs!! Damn, what is the post about?
Dear Redhead – Now that sounds like a fun job. “Pre-approving” male prostitutes
@ToyWithMe – I don’t think the “pre-approval” process is all that and a bag of chips
