How much is a call boy cost these days?

[animalius]

Last night before we fell asleep, my boyfriend and I joked about him prostituting himself out for money. He's 21, thin, hairless, twink type guy. Turned out neither of us had any idea how much he could get for a night.

How much would a guy like him get for a night of everything? I'm guessing there's different levels. Where would he find potential clients?

During the discussion, we thought of those older guys that stand alone with a drink or beer bottle in gay bars. You always see them. Potential clients?

[Hard-up1]

With this being MLK Day and the President's Inauguration, I was feeling kinda great.

Now, thanks to your thread, I just died a little more inside. The only thing sadder than a person choosing prostitution when it is not necessary is someone planning to help sell his partner.

Pimping is low.

[G-Lexington]

Tough to say, as it's not my area. From what little I know, guys like your bf might still be in heavy demand in the pay-for-splay game, but they're also in heavy supply. Also, in general, the less attractive the client (physically and emotionally) the higher a price you can command. Pulling numbers out of my ass here, I think you might get $75-100 from some random guy at a bar if he was lonely, desperate, and financially solvent. You might get $200 out of one who was especially all three, but at that point, he's probably just ordering online instead of hoping against hope at a bar.

And I read nothing in the OP other than idle curiosity. I've wondered if I'd be able to make money sexually (no), or what I'd "order" if , say, I were given some sort of "gift card" for some escort service. I think it's the same thing.

Why don't you just hire a call boy for you both to enjoy? Then you'll know. Call it "research".

[MarkDW]

Take a look at the thousands of ads on the web, and compare.

Haha, relax, it was just idle curiosity.

Today started out for me pretty good. Woke up to a blowjob. Came in his mouth.

I've come up with every scenario imaginable to get a prostitute. He always said no. I'm doomed to monogamy.

I'm not imagining the mafia at work. Prostitution is rarely a casual dalliance into extra money making by the idly curious. It's not that it cannot be or has never been, but the industry doesn't need any soft-serve PR, even unintentionally.

Most prostitutes are pushed there by desperation, from being runaways, from being without job skills, from being underaged and on the street. Those who exploit them, be they pimps or Johns, are what they are.

I have no apologies to make for opposing prostitution, or the toying with it as if it were funny or inconsequential.

It affects the prostitute with esteem issues, is often the other half of a drug addiction, and ruins lives of family members like children of prostitutes. We've had former prostitutes on JUB who were suicidal due to the after effects. I'm sorry if that makes me a sap or a moralist, but I love that guy and cannot be calm about the circumstances that almost killed him.

It may be a harmless question by Animalius, but it isn't a harmless industry. The real face of it isn't a joyride for a couple of bored guys.

Did you give him $50?

That's a good idea. I'll see how he reacts tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry my curiosity reminded you of some aweful things about prostitution.

Neither of us have ever had any contact with any prostitute or anyone involved in anyway with the industry. And as you put it, we were just a couple of bored guys.

What about porn? Wouldn't porn be the same thing?

Actually the going rate is in the 200 to 300 range. See rentboycom. The idea that gay call boys are there by desparation, runaways etc is a inaccurate stereotype. It may be true of females and street hustlers--which are largely a thing of the past-- but not, in my experience, of escorts, i.e. call boys. Call boys are literally not call boys. Call boys or escorts are more likely to be guys with alternatives available who choose escorting for the easy money, many on a long term professional basis. They choose it in part because, by their looks, body and dick they are able to command good money. Of course some guys are more like the stereotype, but few in my experience, and I have hired hundreds over the years.

Never rented any, but the few I've met fall into this category as well. Maybe they were hiding their desperation and/or heavy drug addiction extremely well when I talked to them. But they all seemed very down-to-earth, well-adjusted guys. The same way a guy with an aptitude with math can turn that into a lucrative career in accounting, so a good-looking guy with an affable personality and liberated view of sex can turn that into a lucrative gig as an escort.

aren't you a businessman? you should try out the cost efficient way aka craigslist.

[Benvolio]

The expense is lower, but the effect is to attract less professional escorts, and, in turn, less generous clients. Craigslist escorts do not have a good reputation. The fees charged by rentboy.com have a natural screening effect.

[G-Lexington]

That's why I guessed $75. He wasn't looking to go on rentboy. He was looking to go hit on some lonely guy at the bar. Given that, I doubt the customer base would be looking to shell out $200-300 unless he was exceptionally hot, or they were exceptionally desperate.

Lex

[animalius]

So, do they charge by the hour or by the act? Like, when you say $75 is it per hour or the whole night?

CoughBullshitCough.

Although I can see it as some guys' only viable way of getting sex, I suppose.

No wonder though, that such people have such a fucked up view of societal relationships if they have commoditized sex to this extent.

Rentboy is probably $200-300 per hour. When I said $75, I was thinking your guy could offer some guy in the bar, "I'll get you off for $75." I assume that would involve his hand or mouth - his ass would presumably kick the price up. Chances are if he's any good, he won't need more than a couple minutes.

Holy macaroni, 200-300 per hour? They must be rich.

[G-Lexington]

Well, most guys don't have the stamina, desire, or the demand to escort forty hours a week. It's usually more of a side gig for them - they may have a couple appointments a week, and it wouldn't be surprising if neither of them goes longer than an hour.

That could possibly turn into some role-playing/foreplay.

Bevolio is right. He's always right on this topic. I have the sense that none of the men who make generalizations about escorts has ever actually met an escort (or knew he was meeting an escort--it's a pretty stealth occupation--or know much about the business beyond a few stereotypical assumptions which may in some cases be true, but in the vast majority of cases are not at all. I think they'd be surprised how estimable a lot of these guys are.

BTW, 200 to 300 will get you an hour or two at the most, with exceptions of course. I once spent almost an entire night in conversation with a client. We fell asleep and never had sex at all that time, so we hooked up a week later vowing to only talk after the sex.

Although my example is a personal acquaintance, I'll readily concede that the typical account is of a plain old street kid, not necessarily a call boy. In my friend's case, he was a call boy, not a street kid, and had worked through an agency.

He hadn't been in the trade for several years, but the aftereffects damaged him enough that he attempted suicide.

But, I have no doubt that many men who do it have no effects if it does not contradict their values.

My view is that it certainly should not be illegal, and I most sincerely believe that Johns and their whores belong together.
