we have been exposed to the male prostitution market online through websites that have quoted us rent boys as "masseurs" when in fact, only a small portion of these guys know how to massage. it became a mask so as to avoid using the words "rent boy" or "sex worker" or "gigolo," maybe for the reason that these terms are give aways that these guys can actually be paid for sex. "escort" would have been a good term. it doesn't sound liberated, and it sounds professional. but thanks to Keanna Reeves, the term "escort" has been associated to pure sex for money, removing the "being conversational" and "being a good companion" from the job description. running out of words, they ended up with "masseurs" (maybe because of those rumors before that massage therapists in wensha are actually offering extra service).
Homily ilang araw matapos lumabas ang ikaapat na part ng fabcast ni Migs, The Manila Gay Guy (pakinggan ang fabcast dito), marami akong natanggap na emails at marami rin akong nabasang comments sa mismong blog ni Migs. marami rin sa mga kaibigan kong nakapakinig ng fabcast ang hindi makaiwas magkomento. indeed, male prostitution is a very intriguing topic that stirs every gay guy's mind.
