Gay For Pay Escorts

[Guest Joey Di Bartolo]

I am working as a consultant with an independent documentary production doing a project on male escorts. We are looking to do interviews with (real) straight men who escort for gay men. We would also like to talk to clients of straight men or the girlfriends of these straight men. If anyone would be interested in being interviewed or have any questions. PLEASE contact me ASAP.

 

We are shooting in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego, and San Francisco mostly. Also if you have any information about Straight men, escorting, Gay for pay, clients, or anything on the subject please also contact me.

It's understandable that you're working with a low budget and therefore need to shoot locally. But I hope that the company you're working with doesn't make the mistake of assuming that what works in L.A., S.D., Palm Springs, and San Francisco works in the rest of the world. After all, you're dealing with four of the most stereotypically gay places on the planet, and I can imagine how hard one would have to work to avoid producing another stereotypically gay film.

Hi Joey,Do you still live near the spotlight?Are these interviews going to be taped?Is this a docu,or a feature film.

If you would like Email me and I might arrange some interviews for you-I would need to know the spec's .

You might want to look for a film called DANNY IN THE SKY,it is about a fella(who wrote the film-and is it's star)who became a nude dancer in Montreal.It is still doing the festival circuit but might be out there somwhere(as a consideration tape?)

Anyway,good luck

I'm not sure I follow. What kind of stereotypes do you foresee emerging in the documentary if they primarily interview escorts in these markets?

 

Actually, I think that's a pretty diverse selection of cities, even if they're all located in California (which is, after all, a huge and incredibly diverse state). LA and SF are virtually polar opposites; with Palm Springs you've got a resort town, and with San Diego you've got a big military town. I'd expect to hear different kinds of stories emerging from each of those places.

 

For Joey: you may already know this, but in SF I believe a lot of the gay4pay dances at the Nob Hill Theatre, so you might want to contact them. And of course make sure you post on Muscle Service.

Don't you think that straight "gay for pay" escorts who work in cities where gay people live openly and are widely accepted, have their own thriving culture and community, etc. have very different experiences and viewpoints than such escorts who work in places where that is not the case?

 

I generally think that gay people who live in cities where gay people are widely accepted and they can live completely openly -- NYC, LA, Palm Springs, San Fransisco -- definitely have much different experiences than gay people who live in places where homosexuality and homosexuals are much less accepted and open.

 

I'm not criticizing the documentary; it actually sounds very interesting and I'd see it. It's likely merely a budget issue that has led them to choose those cities and, as you point out, I am sure there is great diversity among the people even in those cities.

 

But as a general matter, gay people in such places do tend to have certain commonalities due to the fact that they live there and can live much more openly and with much more acceptance than gay people in other places. Focusing only on such individuals does exclude experiences and perspectives which many, if not most, gay people in the country actually have.

Probably. In fact, I wonder whether straight "gay for pay" escorts would even be very easy to find in cities where gay people DON'T live openly and are widely accepted, etc. This is pure conjecture on my part, and I'm open to being corrected, but it seems to me that a somewhat sizeable gay community would almost be a necessary precondition for straight gay4pay escorts to find a market for their services -- maybe even for it to occur to straight guys to seek such a market. I'd think whatever such scene there was would be so underground that it would be VERY difficult to find one willing to be interviewed on camera. That said, it would probably make for a most fascinating interview.

Well, nothing can represent the whole world the difference in each of countries alone can not be captured in one film. Some places prostituation is legal, so no this not going to represent the rest of the world.

 

But, on the other hand there is a huge difference in SF and LA alone, the laws for dancers are different, the people are different, the atmosphere are different.

 

In any case though we are interviewing guys that work on the streets to the high end escort. So, there is already a broad range of opinions, aspects, and situations.

 

Besides yes we are shooting mostly on the west coast but half the guys are not even from here, work here, or live here.
