male homosexual prostitution

sexual contact between males for the financial or other gain of one of the participants. Studies indicate that a social hierarchy exists among male prostitutes, as among female prostitutes. Lowest in status are the street hustlers, who are usually teenage boys and not necessarily gay themselves; next are the bar hustlers; and highest in prestige are the call boys, who do not solicit in public.
