A male prostitute (or hustler) is a sex worker or prostitute who earns money by providing sexual services to clients. When providing services to male customers, male prostitutes are called "escorts", "hustlers", "rentboys", "punks", "trade", "man ho", "boy toys" or "bitches"; their clients are often referred to as "johns". A straight male prostitute who has male clients is sometimes referred to as "rough trade". Some male clients (especially men who consider themselves straight) may prefer male prostitutes who are crossdressers or pre-operative transsexuals ("she-males"). While less frequent, male prostitutes offering services to female customers are known as "escorts", "giglis", or "gigolos". Prostitutes sometimes refer to their trade as "turning tricks" (the client being the "trick"). The gender of a male prostitute's sexual partner, or the sexual act that the hustler participates in, is not necessarily indicative of the hustler's sexual orientation.

Male prostitution
The male hustler may solicit clients on the street (like Times Square in New York, Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles or the Porte Dauphine in Paris), or in another public space (like a bus terminal, park or rest stop), in a bar (such as the former gay hustler bar Rounds in New York or Numbers in Los Angeles), through print advertisements (such as "massage therapist" ads) or online (such as "students seeking generous older men" and online "escorts" ads).

Although the hustler is often associated with teen-age "street kids", "runaways" and drug addicts (see "The hustler in popular culture" below), prostitution is practised by people of every kind of social, economic and relationship status. People who prostitute themselves with others while in an amorous/sexual relationship are sometimes said to "turn tricks" or hustle "on the side".
Some young men come to hustling as a temporary or occasional means of making money; some engage in hustling only once; others work as a hustler for an extended length of time. Some hustlers supplement their income by work as a pornographic actor or model, nude model, massage therapist, burlesque dancer (a "go-go boy", "erotic dancer" or (in the Philippines) "macho dancer") or by performing in sex shows. Others have jobs entirely unrelated to the sex industry.

In male prostitution with male clients (regardless of the hustler's sexual orientation), it is difficult to generalize on the sexual acts the participants may engage in. Many hustlers only permit the client to masturbate them or to perform oral sex on them; other hustlers engage exclusively in active anal intercourse of their client; others are exclusively passive in this respect; others are unrestricted in their sexual acts. Sexual behavior is a form of physical intimacy that may be directed to reproduction (one possible goal of sexual intercourse) and/or to the enjoyment of activity involving sexual gratification. ...

Because of the social stigma attached to homosexual acts, male prostitution with male clients is generally viewed by Western society as more degrading than male prostitition with female clients.
The difference in age, in social status and in economic status between the hustler and his client is also a major source of social criticism. This same social stigma may also be attached to amorous relationships that do not involve prostitution, but which may be seen by society as a form of "quasi" prostitution. The older member of the relationship may be qualified as a "sugar daddy" or "sugar momma"; the young lover may be a "kept boy" or "boy toy". In the gay community, the members of this kind of couple are sometimes called "dad" and "son" (without implying incest). Jump to: navigation, search Gold digger redirects here. ...
Jump to: navigation, search Social status is the standing, the honour or prestige attached to ones position in society. ...
This social disdain for age/status disparity is less pronounced in European, North African and Eastern cultures which have a long-standing tradition of non-aged-matched amorous relationships (although the American aged-matched couple is increasingly the rule in Europe).
With regards to the age difference between a hustler and his client, there appears to be a societal double standard concerning gender: whereas the age difference between a gigolo and a female client may be a mark of the hustler's sexual prowess, a similar age difference between a young male hustler and an older male client (frequently denegrated as a "troll" in the gay community) is seen as exploitative. See also: Age disparity in sexual relationships. A double standard is a rule which is applied more stringently to one party than to others. ...

Male prostitution with male clients is more or less tolerated in a number of Western and non-Western countries. This kind of sexual relationship may be a transitory practice (with financial benefits) for a young man on the road to adulthood which he will subsequently abandon once he is married. (This is especially true in societies in which a young man's access to women is strictly prohibited before marriage.) This tolerance of male prostitution in other countries leads some clients to engage in sexual tourism. Sex tourism is tourism, partially or fully for the purpose of having sex, often with prostitutes. ...

The hustler in popular culture The male prostitute or hustler is a frequent stereotype in literature and movies from the 1960s on, and especially in movies and books with a gay perspective in which he may be considered a stock character. He also appears occasionally in popular music (like the photo spread for The Bravery), some contemporary fashion advertising and the visual arts. Stereotypes are considered to be a group concept, held by one social group about another. ...

The most common stereotype of the hustler is as a sexy but tragic figure. This stereotype reveals both a fascination with the hustler as a sexual object and sadness or disdain with his situation and life style. This stereotyped male hustler is often an under-aged or teen-age "street kid" or "runaway" forced to leave home because of his sexual orientation or because of sexual abuse. He is often portrayed as a drug addict or thief. The plotline frequently focuses on the crisis of leaving the trade or the street ("one last trick"), or on making enough money for an important use (a medical treatment, a gift). The climax often has one of two possible outcomes: the hustler either abandons the trade and re-integrates society, or he meets a tragic end. This tragic image of the hustler can be contrasted with the stereotype of the female hooker with a heart of gold: instead of being portrayed as someone in control and contented, the hustler is lost, homeless, broke or exploited.

In movies and books that take the point of view of the client or of a boy/girl friend who loves the hustler, the hustler is often depicted as an impossible love object who will only bring hurt or frustration. The lover may grow jealous of and disturbed by the hustler's work; occasionally the loving boy/girl friend will be drawn into the lifestyle of their hustler boy friend. Older clients who fall in love with hustlers are frequently prey to emotional (and sometimes physical) pain; this is especially true in the case of "rough trade" (where the hustler identifies as straight), and this depiction has been reinforced by several famous incidents of violence against clients (such as the death of Pier Paolo Pasolini).

The diversity of these stereotypes reveals much about each author's or director's personal view of love, sexuality, power and morality.
These stereotypes may have a basis in fact, but they should not be taken as true in all cases.
The same issues that surround male prostitution (including the financial security and social status of the young "kept" lover, the older lover's obsessions and insecurities with regards to his or her youthful love-object, the sexual freedom or moral indifference of the hustler, etc.) often appear in movies and literature that portray amorous or sexual relationships -- without prostitution -- between an older man or woman and a younger male lover, for example, in Pasolini's novel and movie Theorem, Harold Prince's film Something For Everyone (1970) and Bill Condon's film Gods and Monsters (1998).
