Hustlers, Escorts, and Porn Stars: The Insider's Guide to Male Prostitution in America

Hustlers, Escorts, and Porn Stars is a surprisingly frank and educational exploration of the how, what, where and whys of male prositution. Matt Adams has seriously considered his subject without going for the obvious or sensational. An enlightening book.

Mr. Adams has written a valuable book for anyone who has ever hired an escort, thought about hiring an escort, or was just plain curious about how the World's Oldest Profession functioned within America's gay culture. The answer, not surprisingly, it that it functions quite well thank you, and Mr. Adams thoroughly lays out the terms, structures and conditions of male prostitution. He doesn't write to your prurient interest, but he does write to a broad canvas and touches on every conceivable aspect of sex-for-hire -- including the fact that it's illegal almost everywhere this book will be read. I've placed my copy on the bookshelf next to Polly Adler's "A House is Not a Home" (it seemed the natural place), and I look forward to Mr. Adam's further writings.
