Male Prostitution Enters a New Era: The Print Personal Ad

Although telephone lines could provide an excellent fantasy experience for pay, many men desired a real-life encounter with another man. For them, searching through the personals could be an effective way to find someone to hire. Instead of having to cruise the street to find a hustler, men could search classified ads for a man who might fit their requirements and meet their needs. This minimized risk for the customer in terms of “getting caught” and of having an unsatisfying encounter. Furthermore, personal ads were an especially effective means for small-scale sexual entrepreneurs to advertise (Harris, 2001). A reasonable fee could buy an ad that would be read by thousands of people. For the first time, a broad gay sexual marketplace came into existence, one that effectively brought the customer a range of potential sexual service providers. Peppered among the ads to cure lonely hearts, sell real estate, and locate roommates were advertisements for masseurs, escorts, and the newly emerging telephone chat lines already discussed.
