the first legal male prostitute

I think for a male, if you want to be successful in this type of venture, you’re not a prostitute. You’re a surrogate lover. You encompass everything that’s required of you—not only emotionally, physically—but psychologically. Because women are wired differently. They’re much more sensitive creatures. You actually have to enjoy what you do. You can’t necessarily say, “Oh, it’s just a job.” You actually have to say it’s a passion. I think it’s the same situation as with anything that happens when you break apart a social institution. There has to be some kind of change in terminology to describe persons like myself. And it’s more of a civil rights thing now. Basically this is the first time in the economy of the United States that a male has actually stood up and said, “I want to do this for a living.” And be protected under law to do it. It’s just the same as when Rosa Parks decided to sit at the front instead of the back. She was proclaiming her rights as a disadvantaged, African-American older woman. And I’m doing the same. I’m actually standing up now, and hopefully I can be supported by the male community and be understood as a person. This actually isn’t about selling my body. This is about changing social norms.

Congratulations.

    That he can perform oral sex while standing must be a plus as well.

    “…The fourth thing that separates a gigolo is a gigolo knows how to cook, clean, and do the things necessary to upkeep himself. He’s totally independent. He can cook a 3-course meal, and at the same time, serve wine….”

    Rick, soon as I have time and can collect myself, I promise to post about housekeeping and hired help.

    I was going to compliment him on his small pyramid!

  9. Rick Neece on January 19th, 2010 at 1:10 pm

    Looking forward to it, Ms. Ryan. I’m looking for better ways to upkeep myself.

    Ooh. You may be disappointed. In fact, you will be disappointed.

    I’m kind of a whore, too, but it never, ever involves sex.
