Do guys like Julian exist?


I've not really heard of hot young men who get paid for sex by women - does that really happen?

Like Michelle was a really attractive lady, if she wanted sex from a hot guy I'm sure it would have been really easy for her to get it for free, not have to offer a guy in a bar money for sex. How did she know he was for rent anyway?

I didn't find Michelle quite attractive. That said, I'd love to be in the business, if only it existed. :(

They do exist but most go both ways.

Yup, most of those guys are usually called up to have sex with other men or way older ladies over 65 and up. This is even referenced in this film. Don't expect real life male escorts to be banging hot 30, 35 or 45 year old women. No way, you'll be with other men or vastly older ladies. Even Julian said some guy asked him to have sex with his 70 year old wife or something.

Now the closest thing I've seen to real life guys like this that live more of a heterosexual male fantasy are those douche personal trainer guys. They are almost always, always cocky, arrogant douchebags who are like 21 years old and training women in the 27-50 year age range and they like to hit on them all and try to get in bed with them. I've met many of these types, and they claim to have had affairs with several married women after being their personal trainer.

Of course they exist. Ever see Californication on Showtime? It's dopey, but those guys are real "gigolos"? Male escorts advertise lots of places. This film made me wonder how a guy can get it up so often on command. But I don't think age or looks matter. I've known guys who would have sex with literally anyone as, long as it's female.

Of course these guys exist! And no they don't only see old ladies. I would say women 30s and up. Busy ladies with a little extra cash to spend who just want fun and no hassle and now that Viagra is as easy to get as candy, these guys have no problem err... "performing" regardless of their attraction.

Julian got off by getting women off.

He says in the movie that some of the women haven't had an orgasm in years, and he was happy to provide that service for them.

As long as he was getting paid, that is.


Ay me, sad hours seem long

reply

Haha yes I'm sure the money provided a 'cashgasm' for him.

deborahkerr1992....most gigolos don't need Viagra because their clients want what they aren't getting at home. Which, by the way, does not require an erect penis.

reply

Yes... Yes we do.

The whole idea of a woman married into power wanting a gigiglo is for discretion. If Michelle had an affair with a regular guy, there'd be no incentive for him to keep the affair a secret, unless he was looking at blackmailing her. With Julian, discretion is his whole business. While the ladies DID pay him, they knew he'd never go to the press to expose them, thereby letting the husbands know who will divorce the trick without having to pay alimony.

Michelle had been at that restaurant before, and she's either seen Julian in action or she knows the type.

Adultery doesn't play a role in awarding alimony. Sad, but true.

The film Sonny (2002) with a young James Franco is about guys like this in New Orleans. The women he services are generally middle-aged. It is a bit steamy, but a great story too.
