A good number of
young guys with promising future have turned to vices like drugs,
armed robbery, rape and so on to make ends meet or to satisfy their
pleasures. On joining male prostitution however, these young men will
be given a new purpose of life where they do not have to go into
vices to make ends meet or cause harm to others just to satisfy their
own pleasures – because they see a whole lot of women on a daily
basis who are ready to pay for their services – what they in the
past used to struggle to get.
I know a good number
of male
prostitutes than have a loving family and
have been taking good care of their parents and children. The list
goes on and on. in my opinion, the end always justifies the means.
Male escort agencies
have helped to change the way people view male prostitutes and I
guess this is a trend that needs to be encouraged. Instead of calling
them male prostitutes, most of these agencies use words like male
companions, male escorts and the rest of them.
The word male
prostitutes in itself is not bad but it elicits a negative feeling
from those who are uninformed – particularly the religious. The
other newer terms used are more neutral and will not make the male
prostitutes ashamed of what they do or cause people to stigmatize
them.
It is easier to see
people come out to openly affirm that they are male companions or
male escorts than have them say that they are male prostitutes.
Hence, I think the name male prostitutes should be scrapped entirely
and its use banned.
