I wonder if this is an equal pay job?

I'm not sure what to call this. A stride forward in the equality of the sexes? The next step in feminism? A step backward from the male-centric power base?

Whatever you might want to call it, it is the first in the United States. In Nevada, home of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the first male prostitution service has been authorized.

Yes, now women can travel outside of Las Vegas (60 miles to be exact) to take their hard earned cash and purchase time with a man, obstensibly for sex. It may be the ultimate form of male objectification, but so far all comments about the new option seem to be about if it will work.

The Shady Lady, in Nye County, is the location of this new enterprise. It's an experiment thought up by the wife and co-owner of Shady Lady, Bobbi Davis. Other brothels in Nevada worry that the potential of male - male services might cause a backlash that could cause all prostitution in the State to be revoked. But according to the owners, if the demand for the male workers is only from other males they will end the experiment. Plus they state that all workers have the right to deny any service of any patron.

Now my query is simple. Would a woman want to actually pay for this service? Do they actually need to? In all honesty, a woman can simply go to a bar and gain this service for free I imagine.

Then again there is no shortage of men (including porn stars) willing to take on this new job opportunity. I'm not sure that it's because of the economy, the prestige (if such can be attributed to this job title), or the nature of the work. I am sure that any male worker would be a great friend of the local pharmacist (stock up on that Viagra).

I also wonder if this new job can be attributed to the Obama Stimulus, or receive money from it? Now that would be priceless; to hear Sen. Harry Reid boasting about the "success" of the Obama Stimulus in creating jobs with this as the shining acheivement for his home State.
