Male escort Damian Grey says it's tough working alone. A woman who uses male prostitutes believes there is a market for a brothel for women, and is applauding Pam Corkery's plans to establish one in Auckland. Although the year-old property investor says it is easier to pick up men in local bars and nightspots, they do not give the same level of intimacy or respect as male prostitutes.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said she started using the services about three years ago after being single for nearly eight years. Another woman - year-old Lola - told the Weekend Herald she has been paying male escorts for the past eight years. Lola said a wide variety of women sought the services of male prostitutes. There are various theories, including that there's a desire for a connection before sex takes place," said Dr Bennachie.
He said New Zealand had about known male sex workers, but believed fewer than 20 would want to work in a brothel, where they would have to share their takings.
Ms Corkery, a former MP and broadcaster, is planning to start a brothel for women. It would start as a TV reality series, but continue to operate after filming was completed. Damian Grey, 32, who has been providing sex for money to women since he was 16, said he would be happy to work in Ms Corkery's bordello. Prostitutes Collective Auckland manager Annah Pickering said such a brothel would struggle to survive because there was little demand for male prostitutes from women.
She said fewer than 20 male sex workers were known to the collective. Most were in their 30s and 40s, and only half of them provide services exclusively for women. Sign In Subscribe. New Zealand.
