Why Do Women Want a Male Gigolo?
0
Plenty gets written about female escorts for male clients, but the conversation rarely turns the other way. So what happens when a woman decides she'd like to hire a male companion of her own? SDC.com digs a little deeper into the phenomenon, which isn't really as rare as you might think.
Studies Done Surrounding Male Escorts
A survey shows that Uganda and Argentina are the only other countries that have more male escorts seeking females and couples than solely male clients. The figures from Australia, for instance, are quite the opposite: male escorts tend to serve a largely male clientele. Only 25% of the (516) male gigolos are servicing women.
The study found a total of 324,852 profiles of male escorts online, but after eliminating duplicates (many male sex workers list on multiple sites) there were 105,009 male escorts. The complete survey is contained in the blog About Male Escorts (1).
Various Conclusions
- The assumption worldwide is that the primary market for male escorts are men.
- There is a significant increase of women who pay for sexual services.
- More than 57% of identified websites catered to male customers only.
- 11% of the gigolos target female clients.
- Another 11% list couples as clients, usually a man and a woman together.
- Women who buy sex are usually in their 30s and 40s, and professionals who say they are too busy for relationships.
- For the widest choice, look to Mexico, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.
- Costa Rica, Finland, Israel, Panama and Taiwan seem to have no male escorts advertising to women.
Countries With the Most Male Escorts for Women
Why Do Women Pay for Sex?
According to the researcher, most of the women are professionals in their 30s and 40s who claim to be too busy for relationships and want to focus more on their work. There are also women who pay for sex, even though they have a relationship. Their reason is that there are no strings attached, and that they don’t have to think about pleasing a man, but instead simply enjoy being pleased. Most women state that they want more than intercourse. They want to be seen, be noticed and get attention. Before sleeping with the gigolo, they want to connect, go for a drink or a meal.
Both married and single women feel the same about that. Most of the time it's not about hard-core sex, but more about attention and feeling wanted. And the fact that most gigolos are "skilled" in bed ensures them of good sex with no complications.
Interview with a Gigolo
In an interview with gigolos on News.com, a male sex worker states that most of his clients fit into three categories:
- Convenience. Either she doesn’t have the time to seek a relationship or is involved in an unfulfilling one.
- They want to try out a fantasy without complications.
- It’s simply on a bucket list: to have sex with a gigolo.
“There’s a common misconception that there must be something wrong with clients, that they’re not able to go on a date or sleep with someone outside of seeing a sex worker. In my experience that’s never the case. A lot of the time it comes down to wanting a certain sexual experience in a safe environment where it’s all about the client’s desires.” It’s a rewarding job to have, so the survey concludes (2): the average price worldwide seems to be $200 per hour. If the man stays for the weekend, he can make as much as thousands of dollars.
