Las Vegas Adult Entertainment: Showtime Developing a New Reality Show about Gigolos
July 23, 2010 by newsdoggiestyle
Yes, according to The Los Angeles Times, Showtime is currently partnering with Relativity Media to develop a reality series about male prostitutes which the cable network describes as an “unscripted look into the personal lives of a group of men who offer sex and companionship for money in Las Vegas.”
This isn’t the first reality show about Nevada sex workers, of course; HBO claimed that landmark honor back in 2002 when it began airing ‘Cathouse.’ And HBO is also a pioneer in the area of television gigolos, thanks to it’s scripted dramedy ‘Hung,’ about a average joe with above average career potential in the realm of male escorts.

• ‘Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo’ After nearly 70 years of work turning gigolos into Hollywood’s coolest characters, all that pop culture momentum nearly came to a permanent halt thanks to Rob Schneider’s 1999 comedy, which stripped away all the sex appeal from sex. Six years later, ‘Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo’ would strain diplomatic relations by making male prostitution skeevy on both sides of the Atlantic.
