Tough call. If you're getting paid for sex then you can't pick the partner and you're risking some extreme ugliness. If you pay for it, then you can choose someone that you're attracted to, but you're paying for sex.
BTW I don't think this should be illegal. If a consenting adult wants to pay another consenting adult to have sex with them, who cares? I think it's funny you can pay people to have sex if you videotape it and sell it, but you can't just pay someone to have sex with you.
I'd rather pay. (Because you get to pick.) Unfortunately I'd imagine male prostitutes are likely gay or super cheesy looking. (if I said something really politically incorrect about gay male prostitutes, I'm sorry. Movies made me think that)
Reminds of the Dan Ackroyd SNL skit, "Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute".
Fred Garvin: Now, if you don't mind, I do work with the glasses and jacket. [ climbs in ] Feeling anything yet? Any symptoms of arousal?
Mrs. Potter: I don't think so.
Fred Garvin: Well, these things take time. Perhaps a bit of humor will break the ice. What's red and green, and goes like this? [ makes spinning motion ]
Mrs. Potter: I don't know.
Fred Garvin: A frog in a blender! There you go. And now, look at this. [ holds up card ]
Mrs. Potter: What's this?
Fred Garvin: My backseat driver's license! [ laughs ] Enough foreplay - let's get cracking. [ removes pants ]
Mrs. Potter: [ notices something ] Hey, wait a minute..
Fred Garvin: What?
Mrs. Potter: What is all that stuff?
Fred Garvin: Oh, uh.. that's my rather elaborate network of trusses. I will need your help with a couple of these. I got the old hernia truss here.. and I got a spleen truss, it opens up with a couple of snaps here in the back..
Mrs. Potter: No, I don't think so.. you know, I.. I.. I think this is a little too much for me, I, uh..
Fred Garvin: No, no.. it's just a couple of snaps in the back. You know, you just gotta make sure you don't touch the rupture, that's all..
WARSAW, Poland - A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees.
Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.
"I was dumbfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper on Wednesday.
The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported.
People are definitely more sexually repressed here compared to Europe and part of the reason is the taboo that still surrounds sex.
You know, I've been to Europe, and since then I'm kinda okay with the sexual "repression" we have here. I couldn't get away from Christina Aguilera's skanky ass when were there back in '03. Her Maxim issue (Dirrrty Era) had just come out as I recall.
Despite the occasional hysteria and letter writing campaign run by the Conservative People's Front, I don't think we really are that repressed. Discussing sex is like well, discussing sex. I think the private nature of it makes it better. Besides, nobody needs to know the crazy junk I'm into.

I guess I'm really late to the party here judging by the reactions I've gotten when I say this, but I was sort of surprised. I figured they got paid enough per shoot to fuel their coke addictions and vapid stares without having to leave the valley.
They get paid like $200 a scene. A lot of them do it just so they can charge more money for escorting.
To tie how I know this in to that "favorite part of the internet" thread on Social, I like porn gossip sites. It's fascinating what a dysfunctional industry that is.
I thought it was at least more than that as well, from what I've gathered. More like $500. My buddy sent me a link to an escort review site, and there's an entire section on porn stars that "provide". It's hysterical. There's no way that the girls that work for a company like Vivid make that little money.
There's also a well known brothel in Columbia supposedly. I have no idea how it hasn't been shut down.

I'd much rather pay, if I had to choose. I saw an ad the other day that Heidi Fleiss is opening a brothel with male prostitutes outside of LV (brothels are legal in some counties in NV for those of you that don't know). At first I thought that would be a pretty sweet job ($250/hr was the listed pay). But then I thought about the type of women that would actually have to pay for sex and decided it wouldn't be all that great.

There's a huge sociological theory that prostitution is good for society because it provides an outlet for sexual deviance. I wish I could elaborate more but it's been awhile since I've read it. Interested parties can learn more from Ned Polsky's "Hustlers, Beats, and Others".

Is it that massage parlor on the east side of town, the one you pass on 70 on the way into Columbia?
