Prostitution Not Just for Women: Nevada Brothel Cleared to Hire Men

Shady Lady Ranch Plans to Have Two Male Prostitutes on the Payroll Within Weeks



The oldest profession in the world just got a little more inclusive. A small Nevada brothel is taking pride in becoming the first to put legal male prostitutes on the payroll, a move some say could fall flat but others think could re-energize the state's sagging prostitution industry.

The Shady Lady Ranch, located about a two-and-a-half hour's drive from Las Vegas, won the right from a county commission this week to hire men. The ruling cemented proprietor Bobbi Davis' sentiments that prostitution regulations were outdated and discriminatory. When the economy affected her business, Davis said she figured she'd be the one to lead the fight for change.

"With the economy the way it is, why don't we try it on a small scale and see how it works out," she told ABCNews.com.

Davis said there is demand for male prostitutes, adding that she's gotten "a lot of requests" both from women and couples "who want to add another person to the mix."
