I'm a guy and considering doing some sex work to get money.

I don't see a need for many male giggalo's anymore, if ever. So most likely will be seeing male clientele or couples. Don't fake it,if you aren't bi...don't do it. Nothing worse then an experience with someone doing things they don't like,unless it's forced bi/cuck...then that's my favourite hahah. You could reach out to providers that you find interesting and ask to duo. I have my male half come with me for cuckhold,cheating housewife and other requested scenarios. Find something you really like and use that to your advantage, finding a niche that works for you.  

Right off the top I'm thinking safety,  legalities of the trade and your health.

Interesting. You don't thing there is a market? So the theory would go that if a woman is not satisfied with her sex life she doesn't need to hire an escort, she can just escort herself and be satisfied?
This is guy is out of business then

I follow a few male escorts on twitter.
Like the poster I have explored the idea in my head to be a provider. Not necessarily for his stated reason of "I could get paid for this" although of course that would be required.
My motivations are first that I love sex. Second that I think there is a need. Many women providers have told me about how much work it is to be a provider. Most women that are looking for more sex don't necessarily want to go through all the work of starting a business. And if they just post on the equivalent of backpage then they are entering the danger zone.
The need is there for women to have the company of a man out and about, and for sex and for that company to be safe.

Sex work is stigmatized; be ready to make the decision to live two lives  
                   or Not  : )

Possibly but I don't see many women looking to pay for sex and not on TER, maybe in a sugar boy situation but not likely.  I do see alot of men wanting to hire men for their wives though, I would think that would be a better market. But whatevs...that was just ny 2 cents bc he asked a question and for opinions. He can make money anyway he markets himself. There is a niche for everything. Everyone told me I can't make any money by doing half the shit i do and they were wrong.  

In any case, are you into giving massages?

Unfortunately as I was obviously in Costa Rica at the time, it was a hundred Colones, not a hundred bucks. At todays exchange rate 100 Colones is worth around twenty cents, but it was a start. lol

a real one.

Supply and demand....

Post your picture (nude but you can blur your face if you wish) here so we can critique the hell out of it, down to the clarity of your skin. If you think that's unfair or unnecessary, you're in the wrong business.

Well said.

Do you mean to tell me you've NEVER heard of Cowboys 4 Angels?!  With more women moving into executive positions, and earning more money, male escorts are actually one of the fastest growing businesses right now.

Anyone that doesn't believe that has not visited Walmart.

Any gal can get laid.  Getting a commitment is the hard part.

Everybody`s talkin' at me....... Goin' where the weather suites my clothes....... Poor "Ratso" Rizzo lol

...Is stronger for bi-curious women hiring female escorts to experiment with. I think that as small as that market may be it's larger than those seeking male companionship .
And of course there are female mongers like myself who only seek other ladies for our pleasure.

I noticed that you did not say your partner suggested it.

whatevs. I think I respectfully asked to have more detail on you opinion on the subject.
I meant no offense.

... A provider I know, a beautiful, kind woman, told me that she was lonely one night when touring and decided to hire a male escort. (Why she didn't call one of her trusted clients from that area, who would have gladly taken her out on the town for no fee, puzzles me but I decided not to ask.). She said the escort was gorgeous, but the date went to hell when he told her there must be something wrong with her if she needed to hire an escort.

Just like some powerful men seek out dommes for R&R, maybe some powerful women seek out the clubs or studios for various kinds of kink. New York has places that are kind of "indy - agency" places. If you can get "in" on one of those sites, maybe you could do that:  
  Carol: domme
  Mary: sub
  Susan: switch
  SupportForYou: for woman only; sub, dom, switch or vanilla

Music to live by....

read the web site I posted?

Hey...I'M WALKIN HERE...I'M WALKIN HERE!!!

was under the impression that the average age of hobbyists is closer to 50 or even 55; especially since many providers say they will not see a hobbyist under 35 or even 40.

this gigilo has to be able to provide an excellent experience for his clients.

There are male providers out there...I have a couple on my Twitter.  I do think it's more of an uphill battle to become a successful male provider however.  A woman's sexuality is more complicated than a man's.  Most men are simply happy to pay an attractive woman to give them a good blow job and act engaged.  Women on the other hand are a bit different.  I think in order to be successful you can't just be (very) good looking and good in bed; you also need to charm her and make her laugh and say witty things.  More or less you NEED to be able to woo a woman in a short amount of time AND be really God looking, have a good sized penis and be amazing in bed.  Even then you likely won't be successful unless you have good marketing and you live near a city like NYC or LA.  Not to mention you will have to be able to keep it up for the more unattractive clients.  If you really want to put the arm work into it and you are blessed with good looks and a good dick you may find a modicum of success but I wouldn't quit my main job by any means.

I think it's likely many female providers book a male escort out of curiosity.  I almost booked with Cowboys4Angels when I lived in NY so I can see what it's like from the other side.

Honestly that's way more than two cents worth. I think you're right in. Maybe Las Vegas would work.  Most reasons to pfp are they aren't getting any attention anywhere.  Good looks is a bonus, but I think better than well endowed is the ability and willingness to eat like it's your last meal.  Probably not happening at home or away!
And keep your day job!

Women who will spend money on an escort are going to be super picky  about what they want in the looks dept. Sounds like she got a male escort with no idea how to make her feel comfortable with him and honestly he had super bad manner. His goal sound have been to make her feel good about her choice to hire him.

If he goes pro not to expect one dime from you?  You haven't seen his photos yet. Maybe you should keep an open mind? You know I'm messing with you, right?

Rejoined the thread in progress, I call troll post.

As a prelude to having sex for pay with virtually any woman who is willing to part with some cash to be with you for an hour, get a job at Walmart for 6 months. Then imagine your customers in the sex trade being the same as the women you'll be dealing with at WM, only naked and climbing on top of you.

It is the men that predominately pay for make escorts~ My 2 male Playgirl-looking escort friends  
    have only male clientele.    

I agree. I was actually searching for his replies and nada.
