If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard
I reckon I’d make a great male escort, don’t you think so?
I’d have a significant amount of pennies.
What’s your point/the problem? I hear you ask. Well, there are several, to be honest.
For starters, the men who have the most unshakeable belief that they would be perfect male escorts, tend to be the ones who are 5’2”, average looking
and (most importantly) humourless little personality vacuums. It’s a bit X-Factor (No, I don’t bloody watch it, but I’ve seen a few of the auditions). The ones who shout the loudest about how great they are turn out to be tone deaf and couldn’t carry a tune in a sodding wheelbarrow.
Whilst I won’t say there is no market for straight male escorts, I will tell you that it is a teeny tiny market and it is awash with bright eyed hopefuls. As far as I know, even the successful guys do it part time and have another job to pay the rent. My guess (and that’s all it is) would be that there is a small demand for two types of male escort.
- The educated, well spoken, reasonably handsome, good listener. The perfect gentleman who can listen to your problems, massage your feet, snuggle up on the sofa and can accompany you to any social occasion without drawing attention to himself for the wrong reasons and will have you fellow W.I. members frothing at the mouth with jealousy. Not because he’s a young stud, (women – in general – don’t really work like that. We would point, laugh and pour scorn upon the woman who turned up with a 20 year old shag toy. We expect women to keep a toy like that chained up in the bedroom where he belongs.) but because he was the perfect gentleman. The coveted Mr Darcy².
- The 20-30 year old buff, tanned shag toy. He needs to be skilled in bedroom department and damned easy on the eye. He won’t be taken out in public, but by Christ, he’ll be ridden hard and put away wet.
The thing is though, that in general, women don’t want the first type to be a charade. We want a man to be all of those things to us because he wants to be. Not because we’ve just handed him a wad of twenties. The exception (of course) being school reunions or other gatherings which will include every snotty, snide, judgemental bitch we’ve ever wanted to get one up on, in which case we don’t care as long as they’re all dripping with jealousy. Unfortunately, by the time we are old enough and financially in the right place to go for the second type, an awful lot of women would be mortified to get naked in the company of a buff young man, just in case he is thinking “Oh my GOD! You’re so old and quite frankly a bit saggy!”. I mean, it’s all good fun until you catch him reaching for the Viagra and then there’ll be tears before bedtime, you mark my words. However, there’s always good lingerie, so ladies, if you happen to stumble across this post. Get yourself down to La Senza (other lingerie shops are available), get your twenties out and bloody go for it girl. You only live once, after all.
Anyway, the point I was going to make, which has got completely lost in an avalanche of waffle, is this. Boys, go for it if you want, but don’t rely on it for income. For instance, my ex – a tall strapping chap, pretty good looking, in his early 30s at the time – advertised his services. He’d seen what I was earning and decided that he wanted in on the action. He never made a sodding penny. Nothing. Not so much as an email or a call. Not even a timewaster. However, he missed a trick. He was bisexual and if he’d announced that in his advertising, things may have turned out very differently. And THAT dear wannabe male escorts is the thing.
You wanna be a male escort? Fine, you go for it sweetie.
You wanna make real money as a male escort? Lube up, bend over and take one for the team!
¹ I have been wrong before. 26th February 1997, if you must know.
² If Colin Firth ever does advertise his services, I will be going for a long booking faster than you can say “Hey! Who emptied the ISA?”
I had to smile at this. There is a large element of truth in this post.
Having said that; from personal experience I know that women do use male escorts for themselves and do book male escorts for their husbands or partners; with them to watch or join in. It seems to be a growing trend.
I also know that it is very common for western women to use the services of (usually) younger men in certain parts of the world (Turkey and parts of the Caribbean and Africa especially) where money certainly does exchange hands for services rendered.
I also know of several very middle class women who have what they referred to as “arrangements” here in the UK.
Women buy sex differently I think to men.
Women prefer a more subtle approach to marketing of sex which makes the business much less brash and much less in your face. I doubt many women for example would be especially attracted to men sitting under neon lights in windows for example.
There needs to be much more research and certainly less certainty from the anti side that only men purchase sexual services.

Managed to spill coffee over my laptop from the giggles. I haven’t come across a ‘Mr Darcy’ male escort page… surely this is a gap in the market? On another note, I’m working with Current TV and Jesper Films at the moment and looking for male escorts and woman that have/might/considered using them. Would be very grateful if anyone of those above could get in touch. This documentary is exciting, presented by a male escort who’s about to get into the field (and I’ll be strongly recommending he names himself ‘Darcy’). Please get in touch, forward, text, tweet, peck others who might be interested and I’ll happily give you more info – selina@jesperfilms.co.uk or 0753 086 1892
