美国“赌城”拉斯维加斯150英里外的一家妓院最近正通过其网站招募男性性工作者,目前已接到数百位男性申请,并且有望在本月底开始上岗服务。这家妓院所在的内华达州是美国唯一一个卖淫合法化的州,而此次男妓招募是在得到当地管理该行业的部门许可后才进行的。这家妓院的经营者表示,此次招募的男妓将为女性顾客服务;如果遇到男性顾客,他们会照样安排服务,但是根据相关法律规定,性工作者们是有权拒绝为某个顾客服务的。对于男妓服务合法的举措,有些妓院经营者并不赞同,他们表示这样做可能会导致同性恋活动对法律体制产生潜在威胁,从而使立法者下令禁止所有妓院服务。

The Shady Lady Ranch, a small brothel about 150 miles from Las Vegas where about four female prostitutes now work, is accepting applications via its website for male sex workers after receiving the go-ahead from the local board that licenses prostitutes.

The world's oldest profession is getting a surge汹涌,激增 of new blood, thanks to a decision last week that opens the door to the first legal male prostitutes in US history.

The Shady Lady Ranch, a small brothel妓院 about 150 miles from Las Vegas where about four female prostitutes now work, is accepting applications via its website for male sex workers after receiving the go-ahead from the local board that licenses prostitutes.

"My wife wanted to try this, so I said OK," said 78-year-old Jim Davis, a retired4 architect建筑师 from California who has owned the brothel with his wife for 17 years. "We don't know whether it's going to work or not, but it's gonna be fun to find out."

Nevada is the only US state to allow legal prostitution, but the laws governing it specify5 cervical颈的,子宫颈的 screenings for female sex workers. The Davises persuaded the Nevada Board of Health to grant a waiver弃权,放弃 creating a health-screening process for men, which involves urethral尿道的 tests.

Co-owner Bobbi Davis, 55, has received hundreds of applicants6 and hopes to hire one or two studs双头螺柱,图钉 by the end of the month.

Several male escorts and porn stars have sent in their resumes and photos, but she said she's looking for someone who can charm women as much as sexually perform for them.

"They've got to be able to laugh at a lady's joke," Davis said.

The Davises seek heterosexual异性的 men aiming to please women and said that if the clientele诉讼委托人,客户 seeking male prostitutes turns out to be predominantly other men, they will stop offering the service. "But because of the law, if a male wants a male line-up, we will have to provide one," he said. "That being said, same as with any of our girls, any sex worker can refuse to do anything they do not wish to do with another customer."

While Nevada is the only state where prostitution is legal, it is not legal in counties with more than 100,000 residents.

That includes Clark County, where Las Vegas is situated7, and Washoe County, home to Reno. The nearest legal brothel to Las Vegas is in Pahrump, more than 60 miles away.

The border of Nye County, where Shady Lady is located, is more than 60 miles from Las Vegas.

In 2005, former Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss announced she would open a male brothel in Nye County, drawing international media attention. But Fleiss was unable to get a license2 because of prior felony重罪 convictions.

Some brothel owners oppose the idea of male prostitutes on grounds the state legislature may become uneasy with its potential for homosexual activity and ban all prostitution.

But Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch near Reno, isn't concerned. He doesn't think there's much of a market for male sex workers from either male or female clients and predicts that the issue will wane衰退,亏缺 once its modest economic potential is determined9.

"What woman with any money is going to go that three or four hours out of their way to do this? Nobody," said Hof, whose bordello妓院 is featured in the HBO reality show Cathouse. "A year from now, we're going to have a good laugh about this."

One man who does believe the male brothel idea will work is Los Angeles-based actor Les Brandt. In 2005, he told reporters he was interested in becoming Fleiss's first stud种马, although now he disavows否认,否定 that notion and is focused on a legitimate10 acting11 career.

Still, when he was in that spotlight12 he heard from hundreds of women who were interested.

"There are women - a lot of women - who would like and need that option," he said. "Some women need to pay for that affection that makes them feel human. There are some people who need that and there are some people who are willing to be the tool to make that happen."
