PROSTIDUDE

Illegal prostitution exploits women; legalized prostitution empowers women by giving them control over the use of their own sexuality. No man has ever offered me money in exchange for sex; and I doubt at this point in my life it will ever happen. I won’t claim that I would turn down a sufficient enough offer if one ever came my way; we all have a price it is just the negotiation levels that will differ. I also have never paid for sex. No female needs to. A man will readily and randomly have sex with anything that is breathing and warm; and sometimes warm is not even a requirement. If there are 150 million heterosexual men in America over the age of 18; a woman could find 149,999,999 men who will have sex for gratis with her. The only man who would possibly turn her down is George Clooney who has a wide range of women he can choose from and thus can be more discriminating. So why would a woman pay for sex from a stranger when so much free sex is available? The state of Nevada has just granted approval for the first legalized male prostitute who started work this week. Marcus (no last name) set up shop at the Shady Lady Ranch (www.shadyladyranch.com) which is located 30 miles north of Beatty, an unincorporated township of less than 1,200 people between Las Vegas and Reno. The brothel web site touts that they have been voted the “Best Small Brothel” for seven years. I have no idea who voted in those surveys, but I have no reason not to believe the honor.

In an Associated Press story Marcus (pictured above) described himself, “as a well-read college dropout and former U.S. Marine from Alabama. He said he drove to Los Angeles to become a porn actor and left after filming two scenes, the first about a month ago. He said he ended up in a homeless shelter near Santa Monica, Calif., after being unable to find another job. Shady Lady Madam Bobbi Davis picked him from about 10 potential hires culled from hundreds of applications, many featuring crude inquiries, according to her husband and co-owner Jim. Part of Markus' appeal was that he was not afraid to deal with heavy publicity.”

One concern about the first male prostitute is discrimination because Marcus says he will only have sex with women. The legal female prostitutes are upset. A 22-year-old prostitute at Angel's Ladies named "Cuddles" said Markus' unwillingness to see gay males makes the Shady Lady seem sexist and discriminatory. "How can you just turn down services because of what someone's preferences is? It comes with the territory. It comes with the business," she said.

Another problem, according to AP, is diseases. “George Flint, a longtime lobbyist for the Nevada Brothel Owners Association (which the Shady Lady Ranch is not a member of), said allowing a male prostitute creates legitimate health concerns. Male customers are thoroughly cleaned and inspected for signs of disease before sex at Nevada's brothels, and he doesn't believe the same "fanaticism" is possible when checking female customers.”

The Shady Lady Ranch charges $200 for 40 minutes and $300 per hour. They do not say exactly what services one receives for the pricing. If Marcus ejaculates in the first five minutes and can no longer perform his manly duties; does one get a refund? At least when I spend $200 at the beauty salon; I get the full haircut.
