Britain's highest paid sex worker is a man

[quote]The boyish looking 23-year-old, sporting a bleached blond bob hairstyle, skinny build and a pale complexion, admitted his decision to shun the typical macho image associated with the escort trade allows him to command his own niche market.

[quote]He said: "Part of my appeal is definitely the twink boy, young-looking, slightly androgynous look.

[quote]"There are a lot of muscular escorts out there but I think there are too many of them."

I wonder how many of his clients are straight men who look for something different? He's certainly very androgynous, not really a man but not a woman either. I'm into masculine guys and I don't find him sexually attractive at all but I can't deny that there wasn't something interesting about him. You have to really watch the video to get it, though. I'm not completely gay and I do find some women attractive so that might affect how I feel about him.

How DO you accurately compare the incomes of sex workers?

I could call up my local paper and claim to be the highest paid sex worker in California, and they wouldn't be able to prove me wrong.

by Anonymousreply 2August 10, 2014 6:24 AM

Well this guy pays taxes from his work so possibly one can verify his income from that. Don't know if journalists have access to that kind of information in the UK, though.

There's another article about him that explains a bit what's going on.

********** There’s his website, which features a blog, reviews from satisfied clients, and photo galleries both public and paywalled. He tweets, of course. He runs an escort web directory, a webcam site, an online sex shop and an adults-only dating site. His book, The Gay Escort’s Guide to Getting Rich ... And Staying Rich, comes out in December (2013). **********

********** His efforts have paid off. His endorsement deal is with a brand of blue-and-white luxury linens that adorn his bed. When he isn’t meeting clients here, he’s jetting to Rome, Miami, New York and other places devoted customers fly him. **********

********** “I’ve been 20 for the last God-knows-how-many years,” he says with a grin. (His schoolboy costume is upstairs. It’s a favorite with clients.)

Getting his name as close as possible to the top of Google’s search rankings, one of his main concerns, is an ongoing project that requires smarts, hours of time and a major investment in advertising. Brandon says he spends a minimum of $1,000 a month on marketing. **********

********** Social media has largely eliminated openly gay men from Brandon’s customer base. Most of his clients are men married to women. **********

********** Hiring Brandon isn’t cheap. His rates begin at the equivalent of $225 an hour at his apartment or $300 at a different location, a standard fee for high-end escorts. He sees up to five clients in a day.

They can be an emotionally high-maintenance group: men who aren’t entirely comfortable with their sexuality or double lives they’re leading. Brandon is often their first male sexual partner, an experience that can be both exhilarating and fraught with emotion. De facto therapist is one of his many job functions.

He knows he can’t continue forever. His ultra-youthful looks are his calling card, and although he does what he can to take care of them — no drugs, little drink, daily sunscreen — he’ll be able to fulfill the fantasy of being other people’s beautiful boy for only so many years.

“Ten years is probably a good run,” he says. “I don’t want to be an old escort. I want to leave all that and do more media things.”

His ambitions include marketing his own lines of condoms and underwear, and he’s done some research into possible factories in China.

Whatever he ends up doing, he says escorting has enabled him to hone his proclivities and abilities: a fascination with marketing and business, a solid work ethic and the ability to listen without judgment to strangers’ most intimate desires. **********

What's interesting to me is the poll... should escorting be considered a respectable profession? So you've got a funny looking gay escort, making money (which is probably one of the most resented things you can do in Britain), telling his tale in the Mirror, not exactly the paper of the progressives. And only 54% think it shouldn't be considered a respectable profession. Colour me surprised.

Sick.

And his hair does look better dark - the white blond is just not a good look.

by Anonymousreply 35August 10, 2014 9:29 PM

R20, I just copied a part of the article. In the article it was said that Grindr and other social media give so much options for gay men to find sex that they don't need to buy it anymore.

I know that he's not the prettiest guy around but he still seems quite charming in that video at OP's link. Like he says there are loads of masculine escorts around so he and his sort of elf-like looks probably are hot for some men. And obviously his teen-looks were earlier his big selling point. And like I guessed he said in that Globalpost article that most of his clients are married and bi, and that he's often the first man to have sex with for some of them. I'd imagine that his non-threatening androgynity and femininity is what draws many of those men in.

And if he has regular clients who fly him all over the world you know he's good at his work. I really do admire his work ethic. I think most hookers ruin their lives with drugs and bad living, although I guess most hookers may have not really wanted to be hookers in the first place. This guy seems to be happy to do what he does. Or at least very professional.

He's on rentboy.com. Not my type but it's true there aren't many twinks out there so no wonder he has lots of customers.

I thought of hiring an escort ones but the only one's who I found attractive had some requirements for the looks of the customers. Pretty funny. I'm too ugly for whores.

Is it some strange kink to pay for sex with ugly people? I'm interested in personality but if they're paying for it, I doubt they care if he's a nice guy.

by Anonymousreply 55February 20, 2018 8:32 AM

Not convinced about him being the highest paid but he is certainly very driven and has his trajectory realistically sussed out. Some of the photos on his website definitely play on a paedo vibe and the link to it on here is three years old. Assuming that the website is regularly updated then he is still holding onto that USP but seems to be prepared for when it starts to go.

Way back in the late 80s/early 90s I did it. The money could be insane depending on how far you would take things and, back then, because of the onset of AIDS you could get away with not really putting out too much. A punter could suck my dick but strictly no anal etc. I still made £100 an hour. That was the basic.

However, you have to be mentally very tough as it can be anything from tedious to all out creepy with maybe an occasional enjoyable call out or visit once in a while. I used to know the late Blue Blake when he was a hustler before he got into porn and he had the right attitude. Business minded but great company. He enjoyed it. Completely free of guilt and self hatred. Those who aren’t tended to get into drugs and that would lead to darker places.

So, I admire this bloke. More power to him if he moves on when he needs to and keeps his head screwed on.

But, highest paid...I knew a lesbian couple who did the whole dominatrix thing. They earned big money back then because all their clients were rich and powerful. They’d be charging thousands now. Never ever had sex with a punter. Barely even touched them if they could avoid it. Just humiliate them, hurt them and truss them up and hang them from the ceiling. That’s when I’d get a call and we’d go out to lunch, leaving the captain of industry or Tory politician or whoever, in the big leather sack, head to toe in rubber, sucking on a ball gag.

Good times.
