Ah, were I still young, thin, handsome, and a tad less bald.
Brothel owner Bobbi Davis got the go-ahead Tuesday to hire what her website cheekily calls “a few good men.”
Her Shady Lady Ranch is searching for “service-oriented” guys willing to become Nevada’s first legal male sex workers.
[…]A county board’s vote Tuesday affirming that Davis could offer “shady men” to her clientele followed months of rancorous debate among the state’s legal brothel community. The industry, in its own peculiar way, is somewhat conservative: Considered an anachronism of bawdy mining camps by some Nevada newcomers, it often balks at change.

George Flint, longtime lobbyist for the Nevada Brothel Assn., has said that allowing male prostitutes could be the industry’s Pearl Harbor. He has hinted that brothels possibly offering gay sex — a choice each prostitute, as an independent contractor, would be free to make — might sour some legislators on the entire brothel system.
Nevada lawmakers are notoriously skittish when discussing the birds and bees. The Legislature, even when severely cash-strapped, has repeatedly declined to tax the brothels (which are banned in Reno and Las Vegas) for fear of, well, legitimizing the business.
[…]Davis and her husband, Jim, merely hope to boost business. Their small outpost near Death Valley, about 150 miles northwest of Las Vegas, offers as many as five women, relies heavily on travelers and has gotten some requests for gigolos.
Located on US Hwy 95 midway between Las Vegas and Tonopah, NV. Coincidence, or not.
#1: That was funnier than 95% of entire SNL shows this year. Or last year. Or the year before…
Makes me want to watch Midnight Cowboy again.
Uncle Dave, don’t undersell yourself. There’s a huge market in “homestead reared beef”.
I assumed this was already happening in NV. I’m certain it happens outside of the brothels anyway. So what!
To each his own.
If it’s legal one way, it should be legal the other ways.
I gotta cowboy friend who swears by his stump-trained mares.
#8 I gather they already have plenty of cleaning ladies to change the sheets.
Interesting that youth, fitness and hair is all that stands between a life of intellectual pursuit and prostitution.

#8 Pedro…
I hope you realize that the customers will be gay men. No woman worth f**king is going to drive to rural Nevada and pay money to get laid.
That’s the thing, isn’t it, Ron. Any man, even a good-looking stud. can have a dry spell now and then.
But even a marginal woman can get something by closing time.

Not to worry, these guys are only interested in your $.

#12, Ron, you miss the point. The women who will be patronizing aren’t worth fu**ing. That’s why they have to pay. And there may be some subset of reasonably attractive women who simply want to experience a “professional”. Har!
But, I imagine there will be plenty of gay trade as well, and for the same reason as most of the female trade. They really aught to charge patrons by the pound…that is, the fatter you are, the more you have to pay.
“Ah, were I still young, thin, handsome, and a tad less bald.”
Uncle Dave, do you you know the gender of the person you are wishing you could service or does that matter to you?
The other issue is if they were attractive they wouldn’t be paying for it. Under the circumstances even getting an erection might prove to be a bit of a strain.
Gay brothels would give legislators something to do when they’re not voting against gay-friendly legislation.
