PROLOGUE
Male prostitution has existed as long as female prostitution. It is called by different names, often cleansed by deceptions, but it is prostitution.
It is selling one's body to another. It is conforming to the demands of the puchaser.
Where female prostitution gains derision, male prostitutes often glide through life riding their benefactors. One doesn't pass remarks publicly, perhaps a sotto voce whisper to a cohort, but the man is not a figure of contempt.
Where a young woman marries a much older, much richer man, the term 'gold digger' comes to mind. The worst that would be said about the man who has sold himself to an older, richer woman, is a 'toy boy'.
He may get arch stares, but not glares, he might even be considered clever to use his body to raise his status. Unlike the woman, who does the same, but is sneered at.
Going back a few hundred years we see the term 'protege' which is not at all derogatory, applied to that young man playing court to the older woman who introduces him to society.
The older man who collects a young woman does not have a protoge but a prostitute and he does not introduce her into society. She exists for his use and is kept home with his bed.
