- It can be easy to confuse male escorts with male prostitutes, and a common misconception is that the two are the same. Although it's a fine line, there is a difference. A prostitute specifically offers sexual acts for money. An escort offers his time for money. While sex or other erotic services are often included, a client may simply want an attractive companion for an important social event. The client may just want to be accompanied, and most high end escorts are both discreet and socially presentable.
- There are as many types of male escorts as there are client desires. Most escorts serve either male or female clients, while some make themselves available to either sex or to couples. Escorts often work through escort agencies, with the agency being responsible for arranging the "dates" and taking a percentage of the fee. The agencies will screen both the escort and the client, ensuring a mutually safe experience. The type of date is agreed on beforehand. That includes the function attended or the type of erotic services desired, making a good match between escort and client. Some male escorts offer their services to a target demographic, usually advertising online with professional Websites. Very high end escorts may operate through word of mouth and repeat clients to ensure a high level of discretion.
- A client can benefit from an escort in many ways. A single man or woman of means may simply need an attractive, competent male escort as company for an important social event, like Wimbledon or an executive business function. Naturally, many clients choose a male escort for their looks, sexual prowess or willingness to engage in various types of erotic play. Male escorts can be booked for anything from one evening to a month long Caribbean cruise. Like any service provider, the escort is selling his time and skills for a paycheck, and anything that stimulates the sluggish economy is a benefit.
- Established male escorts and escort agencies are usually safe and reputable. However, be aware that, in many states, this still may be considered a legally gray area. For those using escorts, know that your identity and some personal information are being recorded and saved. In the event of legal action against the agency, this may become a matter of public record.
- For those wishing to become male escorts, the first step is to find a reputable local agency and sign up. Understand that "male model" looks are not always required. Indeed, many clients prefer a male escort who is a little ordinary looking because this can seem less intimidating and more plausible in social situations. What is usually required is an outgoing, relaxed personality, the ability to fit in to diverse situations and a sense of adventure.

on 10/18/2009 It's always safest to act as an independent male escort - agencies are difficult, and especially when men are concerned they are jsut out to rip off the escorts. Try posting your own ads and building your own client lists with sites like www.renthim.com instead of using an agency!

on 7/20/2009 Not sure all the information in this article is accurate...and I'm certainly against Escort Agencies...most of them will just rip you off (as the escort)...however I understand that some first time clients feel more comfortable going through a company (mainly so they have someone to complain to if they're unsatisfied...safety issues are a concern for both parties involved!)...my book tells more - Nice Work If You Can Get It" by Dean Saunders available on amazon.com - http://www.amazon.com/Nice-Work-You-Can-Get/dp/1844545091/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241321693&sr=8-8
