Male prostitutes coming to Nevada
A Nevada brothel plans to be the first in the state to offer male prostitutes.The Shady Lady Ranch, 150 miles north of Las Vegas, is now taking applications for the position of male sex worker. Applicants must be between 21 and 40 years of age, have a good attitude, and be "service oriented".
While male visitors to Nevada have long enjoyed the state's legal prosititution, there hasn't been anything for female tourists until now. I got to speak with Jim Davis, who helps run the ranch with his wife Bobbi, the owner and Madam, and ask him about the new service.
How did you decide to offer male escorts?
I had several people over the last couple of years request this service, both women AND married couples wanting a "threesome". Economy slow, business a little slow, why not try it?
Was there any problem clearing that legally?
Legally, the State Health code had a requirement of an "endocervical" exam in their rules, otherwise they were gender neutral. We had to have the Health Department and County Licensing board address that issue. We received waivers of that requirement from both entities and they added an additional test for STD's for the men.
What kind of men are you looking for?
The Madam is looking for sexy looking men, 21 to 40 that can provide an exciting and rewarding experience for our lady customers. Don't ask how she'll know, guesswork I guess, but she'll use trial and error until she finds the right guys. She is presently starting the interviews, and we hope to have someone on staff in a couple of weeks.
Did you do any research into male escorts, such as visiting other countries where they're legal?
We have done NO research, just going with experience and a hunch.
How will you market this to women? Won't they be a bit reluctant to come to a place where men generally pay for companionship?
Advanced publicity has helped, Internet exposure on our website and discreet ads in appropriate newspapers is the plan.
Are you going to set up a separate building for male and female clients?
We will operate in the same house, we do have already appropriate separate facilities on site. We don't anticipate this to be a problem.
What can female clients expect when they go to the Shady Lady?
The female client can expect an exciting and rewarding experience, all about them. We hope each individual lady gets exactly what they want to get from the experience, that's our goal.
While men have paid for companionship since the beginning of time, women hiring men isn't nearly as common. Do you think this is changing and why?
We think a PRIVATE, safe, healthy environment with the spotlight on HER wants and desires will work as well with the ladies as it does with the men.
Will you be offering male escorts to male clients?
Our business model is heterosexual but, the same as a gay-orientated bar lets in straight people and straight bars let in gay people, we are required by law to NOT discriminate. A man that requests an all male line-up will get one, that's the law, however our sex workers are not required by law (or by us) to do anything in the room that they do not want to do. We intend to hire men that we think best suited to serve our female clients.
When will you be starting this service?
We will be starting this service as soon as Bobbi finds the right guys and they get the proper work cards.

Absolutely trivial and inappropriate! I don't see how this story was seen fit for publishing on Gadling. Even if one were to consider the 'tourism' aspect of the 'sex tourism', you and I both know there are other, more appropriate websites for such information.
Sean - would you mind explaining what your justification was behind featuring this on Gadling? While I am not in the least interested in how you "got to speak with" these kind of folks, I sure wonder if any 'favors' were exchanged for this free publicity?!
Don't mean to insult or allege anything, just didn't expect to read such things out here on my entire family's favorite travel website. I just nominated you guys for the best website award (Grant Martin's plead below).. please don't make me question my vote!
Good day!

I'm sorry if you were offended by this post, but this is not the first time we have discussed sex tourism on this site. Enter "sex tourism" into the search engine and you'll see numerous examples, some fairly recent.
"I sure wonder if any 'favors' were exchanged for this free publicity?! Don't mean to insult or allege anything. . ."
Oh no, you're not alleging anything. To put your mind at rest, I didn't get any freebies to write about this. I'm in Madrid right now so it would have been difficult. If you consider writing up a business or destination as unacceptable free publicity, then that cuts out the majority of the posts here.
I suggest in the future if you don't like such material, then you shouldn't read it. There's something for everybody here, but not everything is for everybody.

It was an interesting post to me. As stated above, if you don't like it you can just skip it.

This is not inappropriately explicit nor over-descriptive.
Some people are into this type of tourism, and will welcome these news.
And one can choose what articles to read or not.
That's where 'family content moderation' begins.
