‘Marcus’ is the first legal male prostitute--or a prostidude, as we're calling it--in the U.S.. The Shady Lady Ranch in Nevada won the right to hire Marcus after rulings by the courts that laws requiring prostitutes submit to cervical exams on a regular basis discriminated against men working as prostitutes.
The college dropout-turned-prostidude abandoned a short career as a porn actor in Los Angeles to become the only legal male prostitute in the United States. Bobbi Davis, the Shady Lady madam, has received dozens of requests for appointments with Marcus and believes he will be good for her recession-effected business.
