Gigolos

di Hallie Lieberman (Autore)

Beacon Press Audio, 2027

A wildly entertaining and thought-provoking exploration that challenges our rigid assumptions around the dynamics of sex work—from a sex historian and client What kind of woman would hire a gigolo? It’s a question that gripped Hallie Lieberman since living in Berlin in 2017, where she first paid for sex, prompting her to go on a Gigolo Quest. What she finds out is there is much more to gigolos and their clients than meets the eye. Both sexy and cerebral, Gigolos is an absorbing tapestry of cultural history, reportage, and pop culture critique that tells the story of male sex workers and their female clients. Lieberman takes readers across time and space—from clandestine tea rooms in 1920s New York to male strip shows in Las Vegas. She encounters escorts–turned–reality TV stars, comedians moonlighting as OnlyFans models, male strippers (past and present), and male escort agencies for women. She also spoke to countless women who paid for sex, legally or illegally, for a wide variety of reasons: to guarantee an orgasm, to ensure a sexual partner who respected consent, to save a sexless marriage, or to access sexual touch previously barred by disability. Ranging from heartwarming to hot to hum-drum, their experiences show that sex work is not just about male clients and female sex workers and that they also provide a pathway to discuss gender norms, power, and sexuality.
