Or don't. It kept me in the closet for an extra two years.

Ok read it AFTER you come out. You'll still find it a classic.

They taste yummy

In the 1970s Dee Dee Ramone hustled at the famous gay intersection of 53rd and 3rd to score cash for drugs.

I whored for a year in LA 25 yrs ago

im now a successful attorney. u don't hear bout all the ones who did ok....weird.

I didn't know that but I can see now he kept the fashion knowhow! Pretty hot.

Used to drive down Santa Monica Blvd back in the day and go hooker hunting. They would Jistbang around or pretend to wait for the bus

R9 = Mike Bronson

I was sitting in my car just off santa monica blvd in the nineties, reading a map and a big fit ripped black guy approached my car. his shorts were seethru and he had a giant cock. He asked me if I was looking to party. I said no and like a bat out of hell I took off terrified. Over the years i would see this guy walking down santa monica blvd, and be so tempted to stop, just so i could see that dick again.

But you weren't a street walker, were you? Its pretty common in Europe nowadays that some college students arrondir ses fins de mois with a couple escort dates. Easy money.

Today's trade is tomorrow's competition.

That’s true community service and I’ve met many wonderful retired, banged-up, feral street walkers.

Lord help us all when they get sober. Pick a random mood. Wait five minutes. Whoop, there it is!

Anyway, you’ll meet many if you go to lots of rehabs.

I turned tricks in Sun Prairie, WI at a truck stop. Got me thru paralegal school. There are a lot of lonely, generous truckers out there.

R13 you should have paid and lived the dream. I bet it was reasonably priced.

R17 are you female? Hustler usually applies to males, but of course all contributions are welcome here.

R17 here - male

Did you offer a variety of services to the truckers? Where was the action - in the cab? In the bushes?

Here in Ohio, they were usually Appalachian guys who took the bus in from Kentucky. They usually didn't have the best hygiene (someone would need to teach them) but they somehow almost always had girlfriends, who acted as their pimps. They were often rather sweet and naive until they were taught to put the money above everything else. Then, they'd become pretty ruthless.

"im"

"u"

"bout"

"did ok"

Sure, Jan.

r23, you're quoting Purposely Bad Speller. I have him blocked, but I'd know his spelliage anywhere. He does it for attention. I have every reason to believe he does not do it while lawyering.

You encountered this same scenario multiple times?

It’s where the rubbers met the road.

R25, Yes, I did, but I've never paid for sex. I was just acquainted with several people who did.

OP's guy looks more like a random fast food worker.

R17 here. I’d hang out in the coffee shop. Strike up conversation. End up in the cab.

. . . arrondir [italic]leurs[/italic] fins de mois . . . .

There was a film made by the guy who runs World of Wonder all about male prostitutes, the guy behind the camera gives them money to be interviewed it was a depressing film but interesting and one of the guys in the film was a recognizable Latin porn performer in the 2000s but I can't recall his name.

r31 "101 Rentboys." Max Grand is in it (maybe he's the performer you mentioned) as well as some other gay video veterans.

hot hot hores on polk st in frisco in old days was sooooo goooood, same as santa monica blvd or Selma ave

succulent ass holes not crack heds

There used to be an amazing one in Portland. He would stand on the traffic island at E 12th and Burnside, shirtless, showing off a great muscular hairy torso.

child, in the eightys I took a different hot jock home ev nite off polk st in san fran…..good pickings! then mayor willy brown put a halfway house for homeless on the street and ev thing went to fuk.

BURN

That's the one R32.

r9 were you a hustler or an escort? There's a big difference.

R9 Some would argue lawyers are hustlers.

I've had about two and both were scary and disappointing. Not to burst any bubbles.

ive had about 5000 hookers over my lifetime, in all the citys of the world.

only had one bad apple, he wanted an xtra fifty bux….no biggie.

The only thing I learned by reading this thread was guys from Kentucky would take a bus into Ohio and their girlfriends were their pimps.

Who were the johns for these boys? Were they cute skinny twink types? Were they bisexual? Interesting.

R41, They were usually very closeted gay guys (who would ping from space) who would drive downtown and pick them up off of street corners. I was introduced to a few of them through friends, and wanted to be nice, but they were incredibly predatory. It wasn't enough to feed them: they expected to move in and set up shop, and would HATE YOU if you wouldn't let them. So you learned not to repeat the experience. One of my best friends got involved with one, and ended up giving up his comfortable life (living on a trust fund) to start hustling with his hustler boyfriend. The guys who hired them were generally pretty average gay guys, but very much closeted. One of my friend's best clients, though, was a Catholic priest, who just paid to watch my friend and his boyfriend have sex.

I loved the hustlers down on the Christopher Street piers. Black, Hispanic, young, cheap. I miss the days of the $40 whore. Now it’s $200 to start. I miss Street hustlers.

In these internet times, do street hustlers still exist?

I wish R44. Unfortunately I think they are all on Grindr now. Or Remtmen - if you want to overpay for an overused ex pornstar. Even Craigslist disappeared. Life was so much simpler before 2000.
