Bluetongue, Male Escort - Dangerous Jobs

- Ralph Magazine- Australia

"I've had blokes try to grab me, they get a bit excited. I got into a fight once over it. Bloke didn't want to take no for an answer. He hit me, so I hit him back and then grabbed me clothes and bolted. His wife chased me outside begging me to come back. I said, lady, you better go back inside 'cause you got no clothes on. She had to go back inside, then she kept harassing me, ringing me up saying her husband wasn't home. I said, lady, you knew the rules."

Sydney's Bluetongue brings to light one of the pitfalls of being a hustler. In a job where sex with strange women is de rigueur, he has to be able to think on his feet, or knees, depending upon what he's doing at the time. In this line of work, anything can happen. "I had a husband and wife," Bluetongue recalls, "the lady asked me to come over and teach her husband how to do it. She said let him watch."

People don't seem to be able to accept the idea of a straight male prostitute these days. Bluetongue laments, "I've had this bloke ringing me up every day saying, 'I want you to tie me up, I want you to whip me, thrash me.' He rings me three or four times a day. Then there's another guy who rings up and asks if I do married couples, I say yeah, then he wants all the ins and outs of it…and he masturbates himself while I'm talking to him." He has even turned down as much as $5000 from a "poofter" for one hour - now that's integrity.

Bluetongue had an auspicious start in the industry, different from most of his peers who get into the sport for money. Four years ago he was playing blackjack in the Star City Casino. "This girl was sitting next to me," he continues, "I was winning and we started chatting. I took her to my hotel room, we had sex, and she said to me, 'can you do that all the time?' I said yeah, why? She said, 'because I'm an escort, and you're the best sex I've ever had.' She said, 'I have blokes pay me $1000 an hour, and,' she said, 'I'd pay you.' One day I started getting all these phone calls, and I thought, what's going on here. I had blokes ringing up for massages and girls and that. I was hanging up on them. Then I heard from the girl at the Casino, and she asked me if I had been getting any phone calls? I said yeah, really strange ones. She said, 'I put an ad in the paper for you saying what you did for me.' The rest, they say, is history.

Being a straight gigolo in Australia is a hard gig, unless you have the skills to pay the bills. Many agency boys only make $600 a week on a good week, paying the agency much of their take in exchange for the security the agency can provide when things get left-handed. Bluetongue is an independent hustler though, with a stable of regular customers who call him back every week. He makes around $4500 a week most weeks, and that's tax free.

Of course it isn't all hairy, risky stuff. Bluetongue has one client proposition him to take a three week trip to Fiji, all expenses paid, with her. "I could string them along easily," he reflects. "I could take my clients to the cleaners, but that's not my gig, doing that to women. I don't use people. You abuse them, if you use them."

"Most of them always want sex," Bluetongue says, "They're either married or with boyfriends. I get a lot of my work by word of mouth. You get some young ones that don't trust blokes at that time of night. The average female that I get is frustrated. In most relationships, the female won't tell the male what she wants sexually because she knows that it makes the male feel inadequate. He thinks he has to be the king, but he doesn't fulfill what she wants. So they go somewhere else, just like a bloke. The male bloke, he gets his ego shattered if his wife tells him that his oral sex isn't done properly. Most males get on top, and boom-boom-boom and it's all over. They go to sleep and the wife is frustrated. I enjoy satisfying females. I could do oral sex on a female, which they love; I could that for an hour, hour and a half. That's what they mainly call me back for, because I'm good at doing that."
