Details.com has published an exclusive interview with "Markus", the Shady Lady Ranch's first legal male hooker thanks to Nevada's recent approval of male prostitution. Markus is a 25 yr.old ex- Marine who was  booted out of the Corps after two years on an 'other than honorable' for unspecified offences. Markus considers himself a pathfinder of civil rights in the mold of a Rosa Parks, and prefers to be called a 'gigolo' rather than a prostitute. "This isn't about selling my body.

Just in case 'bromances' and 'manscaping' haven't yet induced a painful bout of acid reflux and sent your innards hurtling up your throat, take a look at "Nax". Nax is the latest in 'synthetic humanoid' love doll technology, created for discriminating females who are sick of the old in-out with a real live man.

The big concern is the willingness of today's 'manscapers' to admit this kind of stuff in public - I mean really, has pride itself become a thing of the past?

Craigslist , the online clearinghouse best known for free classifieds and dial-a-hooker ads, has a new genre of personals - straight men looking for a "bromance." Call me old-fashioned, but the very word itself conjures a strong degree of shall we say, 'unmanliness'.
