Male Escorts

Ok, help me understand this. I watched some of Dr. Phil the other day and his show was about a male escort business. There were several male escorts and they went into detail of what they provide to the customer, their rates, it even showed a segment on how a male escort primps for his so called date. I mean, he took it to the max. He waxed, tanned, worked out, showered, and groomed himself to perfection. I have to admit he was pretty hunky, and could easily pose for the hero on a romance book cover.

He met his client for the evening and they went to a bar, had a nice dinner, danced and ended up in a hot tub. They got pretty hot and heavy in that hot tub but when asked it they ended up having sex they both said no. Yeah right! She was paying a premium rate for her escort and you're going to tell me they ended their night with a kiss?

The woman client, a successful business owner, said she paid for a male escort a couple times a week and sometimes asked for the same man. She said she enjoyed going out with them because she knew what she was getting. There were no surprises. She could have a date and go home at the end of the evening and not worry about anything. Ok, obviously she's not interested in a long term relationship and the happily every after with a husband and kids.

As I watched the show I began to wonder, what makes a male escort (gigolo) any different from a high class prostitute? I know there are female escort business out there, and both sides swear sex isn't included in their services. Do you believe them?
