Are there still prostitutes in NYC?

Try Trump Tower.

Funny. But really! Tell me.

OP- I'm still here and I'm a prostitute.

a MALE prostitute and my name is Frank Garvin

It was in the 1960s through late 1970s.

The below clip of Joe Dallesandro from the Warhol film Flesh has him at 53rd & 3rd starting at 0:52

Today most prostitution propositioning is done online.

OP There will always be hookers everywhere.

Ahem.

No, but there are still hard working Lady Architects OP

R4- Are these strictly actors in the movie or are these random guys flirting/hitting on him?

All over. They are the only ones who can afford six grand rentals

I was there but now moved to Florida.

We migrated to Palm Springs. Have to go where the money is.

r12 it sure the fuck ain't in Palm Springs

You can spot them in the wild in HK in their natural habitats but not as many as pre Covid.

R14- We're talking about NYC not Hong Kong

and they call me DUMB

As said I it’s online now.

I think the days of women and gay twinks dolling up and working the streets in cheetah and fur coats and go go boots is gone. I think the people on the street are like drug addicts and homeless.

There are still some trans ones on the street around Greenwich Village

When you work from your home, and Johns call on the phone, you’re a call girl. When you walk til you limp, and give a cut to a pimp, you’re a street whore.

R5 is correct. It's Instagram/TikTok. The thread about Dubai a few weeks ago also applies to prostitution in general now.

R15 that’s Hell’s Kitchen dummy. Where do you people blow in here from.

Are all the hustler bars gone then? The Town House? Rounds? The ones on 8th Ave? The way we were:

The moved to Hunts Point in the Bronx. But now that that’s being developed, I guess everyone’s online

I’ve been around the block and don’t think I’ve ever seen a male street whore. I think they have gone the way of the dodo bird.

I read in some book that Gore Vidal fucked Jack Kerouac.

What about hunts point?

R25. That would be his memoir, Palimpsest

Getting ready to go to the streets:

They’ve all moved to Hoboken OP.

Street hustling has probably moved to the outer boroughs.

What you get in Manhattan (which is what most people mean when they say "NYC") is online by app or rentmen or similar site.

I do not know, OP. You may have to travel outside the US.

As far as classic NYC streetwalkers:

Park Avenue in the 20s had the classier girls.

8th Avenue to 12th Avenue on 42nd had the gen pop girls.

Christopher Street and West Side Highway had the chickens.

West 15th down to Gansevoort had the trannies.

And yes, 52nd 53rd and Second and Third had the male prostitutes (Rounds was the unofficial HQ)

They're selling it on the internet, Rose.

No, there are none, OP. The world's oldest profession is now non-existent in NYC. Thank you, Mayor Adams!

The street hookers I’ve seen in my life never looked good. I always wondered who was paying for their services.

When I lived in Richmond, VA, I used to live on a rather nice downtown residential block. At night, however, the tranny hookers would roam the street. It was fun to talk to them actually
