Male prostitute

A male prostitute ((rent boy (UK) - hustler (US)) is a sex worker or prostitute who earns money by providing sexual services to clients. When providing services to male customers, male prostitutes are called "escorts", "hustlers", "rentboys", "punks", "trade", "call boys" or "boy toys"; their clients are often referred to as "johns", particularly in North America. A hustler who does not self identify as homosexual, but who has sex with male clients is sometimes referred to as "rough trade" or "gay for pay". Some male clients (especially men who consider themselves straight) may prefer male prostitutes who are crossdressers or pre-operative transsexuals ("she-males"). While less frequent, male prostitutes offering services to female customers are known as "escorts", giglis, or gigolos. Prostitutes sometimes refer to their trade as "turning tricks" (the client or the service being the "trick"). The gender of a male prostitute's sexual partner, or the sexual act that the hustler participates in, is not necessarily indicative of the hustler's sexual orientation.
