America's First Legal Male Prostitute Likens Himself To Rosa Parks

Ladies--say hello to Markus, America's first legal male prostitute. Markus is the newest hire at the Shady Lady Ranch brothel in Tonopah Nevada, a business that recently got the go-ahead to hire a few good men. However, as Markus told Details magazine, he'd really prefer it if you'd call him a gigolo:

I think for a male, if you want to be successful in this type of venture, you're not a prostitute. You're a surrogate lover.

He likened his decision to rise up and become a gigolo to the civil rights struggles of the '60s.

It's just the same as when Rosa Parks decided to sit at the front instead of the back. She was proclaiming her rights as a disadvantaged, African-American older woman. And I'm doing the same. I'm actually standing up now, and hopefully I can be supported by the male community and be understood as a person. This actually isn't about selling my body. This is about changing social norms.

Markus has dabbled in the adult industry, filming several scenes, which he called "cold and calculated." He told Details that as a gigolo, he has the heart of a saint, would never call a woman a bitch and that he can cook a three-course meal. For the whole story, visit Details.com.

2. Could anybody really be desperate enough for sex to do it with him?

[Kalyke]

5. Have you ever seen a real female prostitute?

Julia Roberts, they ain't.

7. I think we have a population of legal prostitutes here that stack up a little better than that

Some put Julia Roberts to shame.

8. You have clearly never been to a brothel in Nevada.

13. So? Men will have sex with anything.

[Kalyke]

3. La-ti-dah

I wish this industry would just die.

Men: you want sex, learn how to fucking talk. And talk to her with respect.

Women: you want GOOD sex, learn how to fucking talk. Tell your man what does it for you. They want to please. And, when they do, they walk around like the biggest cock of the walk (that's where the nickname came from).

If more people would stop treating each other like so much meat, we'd all be better off. And get off more frequently, honestly and pleasurably.

4. Good for him.

I do "feel" for the ladies though. Yuck!

He ain't no Rosa Parks...maybe a Rosy Palms, but that's about it.

9. He looks like John Travolta.

10. BBC had a segment on this that was well done

the funniest thing was when they interviewed this sexist fart - George Flint, longtime lobbyist for the Nevada Brothel Association.

He sounded downright hysterical in his fear of this. It was funny. Especially when he said "the only other time in the history of the world there were male prostitutes was in Pompeii". Hysterically drawing an unspoken conclusion that male prostitution completely upsets the balance of nature. Watch out for volcanoes Nevada!

See his pic at the Huffington post article... Not to be a 'lookist' but you can kind of see why he's so in favor of female prostitution and so threatened by the idea of male prostitution...

11. George Flint - Former Minister turned Lobbyist for the Brothel Industry

LAS VEGAS — The owner of a brothel more than two hours' drive from Las Vegas said she hopes to hire Nevada's first legal male prostitutes within a month, now that state health officials have approved a method to test men for infectious diseases. George Flint, a minister-turned-lobbyist, is up in arms over the idea.

Flint, a Reno wedding chapel owner and longtime lobbyist for the Nevada Brothel Owners Association, said he feared the idea of male prostitutes serving male clients could spur a legislative backlash. He said he works to make the brothel industry socially acceptable to both libertarians and conservatives. He called the change the "Pearl Harbor" of the brothel industry.
