UPDATED STORY: New era: Health authorities open brothels to male prostitutes
The Shady Lady Ranch, near Beatty, bills itself as a brothel for the working man.
Pretty soon it might put some men to work.
If state regulators give the go-ahead Friday, male prostitutes may be working at the brothel as soon as New Year's Day.
Brothel owner Bobbi Davis's plan to provide male prostitutes to her clients hit a snag when it was discovered that current regulations are female gender specific — they required cervical examinations to test for sexually transmitted diseases.
Thus, the Nevada State Board of Health will consider a waiver Friday that would allow urethral examinations for male prostitutes to test for venereal diseases.
"I expect it to go through without any problems," said Allen Lichtenstein, general counsel for the Nevada ACLU, who is representing the brothel.
George Flint, lobbyist for the Nevada Legal Brothels Association, had a sour attitude when asked about the male prostitutes.
"I'm fine if you don't want to talk about the Shady Lady," Flint said. "I have no comment."
When asked if he would attend Friday's hearing, he said: "None of your damn business."
Other brothels tried hiring male prostitutes decades ago but they never caught on, Davis said. More recently, Hollywood madame Heidi Fleiss tried to open what she called a "stud ranch" near Pahrump.
Davis thinks the increase in female executives and women's liberation could provide a client base.
Davis said she'll hire one or two men for the position. Four men have applied so far, she said.
She's hiring the men to respond to demand from female clients, but the prostitutes can determine whether they will also serve men, she said.
The gigolo rates will be close to what the female prostitutes charge, she said, about $200 an hour.
The base rate might include longer time periods to allow the men to "romance" their female clients, she said.
So who's the perfect man for the job?
"I'm not expecting any real muscle men, but they have to be in good shape," she said.
And they have to be prepared to perform once or twice a day, she added.
"Some guys can. Some guys can't."
I wonder who gets the Viagra contract for tat place ? :-)
WHy on earth would any woman pay for sex. Everyone knows all they gotta do is go to any bar in town and take their pick.
side job for woods and Ensign
BELAIR APPLAUDS BOBBI DAVIS FOR HER REALISTIC ENTREPRENURAL THINKING !!!
i have thought about the idea 20 years ago & never had the energy level to pursue my dream !!!
i would love to have the ADULT SPA CONCESSIONS AT CAESARS & CALL IT SPARTACUS SPA'S
& OPEN ONE IN EVERY HIGH CLASS MEGA STRUCTURE ON THE STRIP IF IT WAS LEGAL !!
women should have the same rights as men when it comes to romance !!!
as a man i often wondered if very discrete high class services that go many steps beyond romance would work for very SOPHISTICATED WOMEN !
BELAIR BELIEVES THE TIME HAS COME & IF PROMOTED
PROPERLY & TASTEFULLY - LAS VEGAS CAN BE VERY VERY SUCCESSFUL AGAIN FOR OBVIOUSLY NORMAL HUMAN REASONS !!!
THE KEY IS IN THE MARKETING & THE LOCATIONS WITH LIMO'S TAKING THE CLIENTS TO THE VERY HIGH CLASS VENUES !!!
RESPECTFULLY YOURS - BELAIR --
VC, that is not true at all. Have you seen some of the women that walk around this town? The women going to the stud ranch will be 300+ lbs with skin folds big enough to strike gold in.
BELAIR APPLAUDS BOBBI DAVIS FOR HER REALISTIC ENTREPRENURAL THINKING !!!
BELAIR BELIEVES THE TIME HAS COME & IF PROMOTED
PROPERLY & TASTEFULLY
Todays annoying third person comments brought to you by........BELAIR!!!
Believe me, the best view of Beatty is from the rear view mirror. Unless you go for the "High Plains Drifter" meets Norman Bates Hotel atmosphere.
Shemale would go over better than reg. men IMHO.
Mrs Woods might pay. It doesn't seem she is getting any if Tiger is coming home 'tired'.
Tap Out is played out. It's like when you are on the East Coast and see an OBX sticker. Everybody has one and most of the people I see getting out of the Tap Out stickered vehicles look like they should be on The Biggest Loser.
Rhooster: you devil! Remember, gentlemen never tell.
Disgraceful topic here...
Jenna Haze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barnie Frank should lead a congressional investigation.
Brothels are fun... especially when the porn stars come in. Mmmmmmmmmmm, Jenna Haze!
The entire GOP should start their own brothels considering how they bend over for corporations like whores.
Harry and Rory would make the perfect Greeters.
Yikes
lol! my comment got removed. it's amazing how you can't say ANYTHING remotely funny about anything liberal, but anything conservative is fair game.
The should hire Harry Greid. He is always looking to sc**w anyone from Nevada.
Lota girls are looking for other girls these days, so I don't see this catching on. Very limited market
Limited market? There are a lot of desperate fatties out there... i see them every day, on the street, in the stores, in cars... they are everywhere.
very sophisticated women who are not happy with there love life - will be the target market !!!
women do not want to go to a bar & pick up a
man that may have a disease or be seen with another man that may - COMPROMISE THERE STATION IN LIFE !!
WOMEN SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE EQUALS !!!
THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY & LETS GET REAL !!!
ROMANCE IS AS NORMAL AS BREATHING !!!!
RESPECTFULLY YOURS - BELAIR
Does anyone ever wonder why newspaper subscriptions are declining? Probably because of crap stories like this. Where is the real news? During the Vietnam war, there was coverage every day. Reporters went in with the soldiers. When is the last time there has been a real story on what is happening to our troops in Afganistan or Iraq. Self censorship is worse than government censorship. Does anyone remember the first soldier from Nevada to be killed in the Afganistan/Iraq war? How many Nevadans have been killed so far?
WHy on earth would any woman pay for sex. Everyone knows all they gotta do is go to any bar in town and take their pick.
Because the men escorts are up to the same standards as females - clean, disease free, damn good looking and you can pick one out like you were buying a pair of shoes!
Sometimes men are so naieve.
Oh forgot - and you can kick them out of your bed and h ouse when YOU want, not when THEY want!
NOTE TO captainamerica: Your rant was just posted via the internet. The Las Vegas Sun is doing just fine. They sell ads ON their site so you can blog. Get it? Good. Now go take your meds!
Reading these comments - you have to be mostly males!! I see it has touched a nerve here, except for a few. Belair - thanks for the great idea!
You guys are so naieve. Women having been using "escort" services for years. And it's about time the ladies can do what men have been doing for years in Nevada. Also, the same standards will most likely apply for the men same as the women.
Husbands, significant others can get boring. They don't have the creativity for romance after awhile, they would rather watch sports on TV or go gambling; women get tired of looking at those beer bellies, too, and probably want some young stuff once in awhile. Besides they won't have to put up with the snoring and farting like they do at home.
It'll be "slam bam thanks, hon" and she'll be on her way.
Women will use these services just as men do. There is a market for it in Nevada just as there is a market for it in any other big city in this country. Wake up, guys!! And stop and think the next time you leave your lady home to go watch football or go gambling. What will she be doing?
Rush Limbaugh said he would bend over and grab his ankles under Obama, guess he knew something about this.
very sophisticated women who are not happy with there love life - will be the target market !!!

Belair:
you hit the nail on the head. YOU understand what this is about. Most of the guys are saying it'll be juswt fatties going - NOT. It's the women who would never give THEM the time of day.
Ron Jeremy ...head of human resources?
jeez they removed my comment, it didnt even breach the terms, i wonder why the sun are sooooo strict... even when it doesnt appear in their policy?
I certainly wont advertise my company with them..
BELAIR--international man of mystery--knows what sophisticated women desire! BELAIR will transport them to Beatty in luxurious style. BELAIR will romance them until blissful transcendence is achieved. This is as normal as breathing for BELAIR. Belair applauds your respect and consideration.
Hi captainamerica, thanks for your comment on my story. Since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, at least 926 American troops have fallen supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. Know where I got that info? From the Las Vegas Sun! We report the numbers every day, as well as the names and general details about each of those deaths. As for why a story about male prostitutes is newsworthy: it's a departure from the current standard in the state, it's happening right now and it's a controversial subject for various moral and social reasons. This makes it newsworthy. As always, if you have any questions you or anyone else can call me directly at 259.2330.
to Marshall, Thanks for the info. I only get the Sun online. I stand corrected.
to marshall
what is wrong with men doing a job women have done since the start of time and is a well respected job earns good money and makes for great taxes more than most banks can offer..
What makes it depart from any standard? Standards are in the eye of the beholder..
It even gets a mention in the bible...
Most of europe see the benefits of escorts, it is only frowned upon by someone who wants a good story or some religious groups who dont even read their own bibles !!
Hi markp -- According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary I just looked up, a standard is "something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example." The current "standard" I'm referring to is that there are no legal male prostitutes in the state, because the health regulations have been gender-specific for women. I'm not making a statement about whether it's right or wrong morally. I'm talking about the current state of the legal prostitution industry in Nevada. This type of standard is not in the eye of the beholder.
the double standard of liberals is clearly on display with this story.
my comment that was not demeaning at all was removed because it had the word "gay" in it, but they leave the one saying the GOP are "whores".
sergio the jerk
You are THE prime example why women would rather pay for a man, a good looking or even average looking young man, than even think about being with the likes of you. Who wants to be bored to tears listening to you flap your mouth on BS??? And you are an example of the type of male that will get it up REGARDLESS. Even Halverson look alikes wouldn't even look at you. Women have standards on who they have sex with; most men don't as long as they can.... (fill in the blanks because I don't want to get censored!)
Doc H, when has Jenna Haze been at a brothel?
@ Det_Munch,
Win!
As for the rest of the men here....stay thirsty my friends.
Thanks a lot, Det_Munch. Just when I was thinking about an exciting new career move you had to mention "Halverson look alikes." Not sure I'm up for the job anymore. Way to kill a dream, Munch.
Okra,
It was Serge the Dirge not Munch that originally mentioned Halverson. Serge *is* a buzz kill.
Yes ladies, believe it. Women in Costa Rica are so enamored with his worldly elegance (and money)that they prostrate themselves in his presence. "Take me Sergio!" they say, " take me, let me be one of your conquests tonight. For I have heard of your lovemaking skills on the Internets. And from BELAIR and mrability."
JerryWayne,
A couple years back... she spent a week while she was having BF problems. Best week of my life, but expensive!!
Women have been treated as second class citizens since 1776. It took over 100 years for women to gain the right to vote, in many places we work along side males doing the same job for less pay, for years women were teachers and men were the principals in the schools, the glass ceiling still exist in corprate america. Are you getting my drift? The question is do I think males should be hired to be in the line up at a brothel, DAMN RIGHT. It's time we women get to be on top!!!
So in other words, you are saying the women are greedy whores?
women got the right to vote = obama as president.
Wonder if they serve food their?
Serge,
I hate to be the one to break it to ya but your wife is trying to tell you that she's just not that into you. She'd pro'lly appreciate the new services in Beatty if she'd rather get a massage than be with you in the biblical sense. Just sayin'.
all i can say is wow
This whole discussion is discussing...
Does anyone know how much they pay? If Harry raises taxes anymore, I might need a part time job. $200 is not bad for five minutes of work...
Sergio is the man... "...getting nailed really good for a few hours..."
Burritto: I bet they could come with a big fat juicy burrito for you...
Shecky: Leave the boobies out of it. They're sacred...
Fancyass: Is right on top of things...
Larry: Burrito said previously that his heater is cold. He needs some antifreeze. I suggested Dawn Gibbons as the applicator.
Most of you males, especially those posting here, do NOT know how to pleasure a woman. You think you can pump and dump and the woman should be satisfied. You are stupid! It takes a bit more than what you have to offer to pleasure a woman! You don't even know where to look and even if a woman tells you what she likes (trying to be subtle and protect your ego), you're still too stupid to pleasure her.
Women have disposable income to spend as she wishes. Why not offer a service that will make her happy? You bar-dudes are useless as lovers. Pump and dump may work for you, but women aren't getting off with your drunken fumbling.
Hey moogie, I take offense on your statement that us here don't know how to pleasure a woman. Or at least me... My woman is always pleased when I let her go shopping...
LAS VEGAS NEEDS A MAJOR SHOT IN THE ARM TO HELP STIMULATE BUSINESS - TO WHERE IT WAS IN 2007 !!!
THE UPSCALE MARKETING OF SIN CITY - CATERING TO SOPHISTICTED WOMEN WITH ROMANCE & MORE THEN JUST ROMANCE - AS A COMPLETE SOCIAL EXPERIENCE IS THE - FINANCIAL APHRODISIAC THAT LAS VEGAS IS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING !!!
IF THE CONCEPT WAS LEGALIZED IN LAS VEGAS - NO OTHER GAMBLING VENUE IN THE WORLD WOULD EVEN COME CLOSE !!!
DO NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE INDIANS COPY THE CONCEPT - BUT IT WILL NEVER BE FABULOUS LAS VEGAS !!!
THE KEY IS IN THE UPSCALE CREATIVE MARKETING TO MEET THE UPSCALE FEMALE PSYCHE !!!
DO YOU REMEMBER THE MOVIE - AMERICAN GIGILO -
ENOUGH SAID - RESPECTFULLY YOURS - BELAIR -
LarryVegas - I didn't realize your inflatable "wife" was able to go out of the house on her own. I'm sure she doesn't complain when you pump and dump then get back on the computer for the next 23.99 hours of your dull day to spew your stupidity. If you had a real woman, you wouldn't know what to do with her to make her happy without sending her "shopping". Loser!
I think this is a great idea. My wife and I have fantasized about me watching her with another man for a long time. We've never done it because we worry about disease, and getting the person to disappear afterwards.
Having a brothel to go to makes it so much easier! She can go, pick the one she wants, and it's done.
No running into Mr. X at the grocery store, no hurt feelings, no phone calls, no uncomfortable "So do you wanna do my wife" conversation!
Planning the next trip to Vegas as we speak!
Moogie is a fatty... no doubt. Come back when you lose a couple hundred.
@ moogie,
Win! Don't pay any attention to Doc. He'll never be the man his mama was.
Hey Moogie... At least my wife is not spending her time "chatting" with the boys on this discussion site.
Oh, by the way. Do you know any real women???
It will be fun to see how all this plays out a year from now.
MORE POWER TO THE LADIES.
I WANT TO TAKE MY VIDEO CAMERA WITH ME.
ACE'S
Obviously scorpiogal is fat too... cottage cheese on them thighs?
Boy, nine comments on this discussion were removed by staff... I know where you guys minds are at...
@ Doc,
LOL. No but that's OK even if I did. I like a man with a high IQ. However in your case a demitasse would fit your cranium like a sombrero.
$200 bucks to "Romance" a 320lb lady for hours. Ouch. No thanks! :(
@scorpiogal,
Oh how thoughtful, how funny... a coffee cup on my head. Oh...you are so academic. Fat girls need love too... so after you finally get down from 500 to 300, maybe you'll have a shot.
Doc is so broke....he's rolled so many pennies,he's formed a psychic bond with Abe Lincoln.
Wow, you show your age. 50 year old hoes FTW!
Why women pay for sex: Oral sex is guaranteed to be good, not what you get from the average American male. When you are done, that's it. You don't have to worry about pleasing the other person. No strings attached. Some women are into men only, and want a man.
Fact is, women can fake it, men can't, thus, men should pay more to have sex with an ugly, fat, old, disgusting looking broad like Det_Who_Would_Want_To_Munch_On_
LOLOL Serigo - you're a hoot! SEE this is what I'm saying! Your ego is your downfall. And you have no idea what I look like!!! You probably look in the mirror more than the woman to see if your makeup is okay.
And honey, when I was younger, I dated SINGLE major league baseball players, a rock star or two (single and divorced), and just nice guys you wouldn't even measure up to in more ways than one. Yes I dated my share of losers, guys like you. I STILL wouldn't look at the likes of you, or anyone like you, no matter how rich and good looking you may be. Or how **** **** *** ***!!!
And since you are always bs'ing about the virtues of the Costa Rican women - what - no American women want you????? Yeah, I figured as much - you have to leave the country to get laid!!
To Doc-Holiday and mrability
My guess by your comments, you both are "two baggers"; then to avoid looking at your fat, putrid bodies - gotta just close the eyes - and pretend!!! Wonder how many times your wives or significant others have done that!!!! Bet that you both are lousy lovers, and wouldn't know what to do if the woman told you AND showed you. Typical "pump and dump" guys.
REAL men don't make derogatory comments about a woman nor her body, not even in jest. We can see what kind of men you both are.
okra
Don't give up your dream! You may be just the fantasy that young 30 year old woman is looking for since she is tired of the "Sergio types"!!!
@ Doc,
LOL. Nah...But even if I were 50 and a "Hoe" with cottage cheese thighs, that's all good. You better go on and just FTW 'cause I have the distinct impression that's all you can manage.
@ Det_Munch
Excellent posts!
This is a hoot, listening to all the guys badmouthing any woman who isn't satisfied with their drunken fumbling. Hey dudes, we expect more than you deliver, and if you can't deliver, you don't get the goodies! Years ago, I told an arrogant co-worker what guys were good for, they weren't good AT! Oooh boy, I was called everything under the sun, he didn't take that very well. Truth hurts huh losers? Women want quality, if you can't deliver, we WILL go elsewhere. The days of women putting up with whatever is given are long gone. We're here, we're nekkid and we're gettin' ours. You guys can't handle it, tough, learn how to do it correctly or get lost! We are free to spend our money as we want, you don't control us, as much as that annoys you.
We should all be thankful that the disproportionately unemployed young black male population now has such opportunities available to them.
: {
Sounds like a good plan buuuuut speaking as an average female, I don't and won't pay for sex. Male escorts are alive and well paid for their services by those that can afford it but honestly, in today's economy, are you gonna spend that kind of money for a booty call when there are people out there giving it away for a Happy Meal?
@ ghenna- I'd rather watch my wife eat a $200 steak that won't give her food poisoning then watch her eat a free happy meal that might give her herpes!
Just saying.
