This book provided the inspiration and guidance for a successful part-time hustling career for me. It's a good and thorough how-to guide to becoming an independent male escort, from deciding whether or not you're really cut out for it to advertising, safety issues, pricing, STDs, dealing with clients, legal issues and managing your money in what's often a quasi-legal or simply illegal profession. It maintains a focus on professionalism and good management throughout, which I think is really key to any successful business, including escorting. It's also full of anecdotes that ilustrate the points made, and gives a good picture of the author's own experience in developing and maintaining a successful escort career. A few small disappointments with the book include:
1. Although it includes one chapter on agencies and brothels, it doesn't deal with them in detail Also, it doesn't talk about street hustling at all, probably reflecting the author's class bias. It's definitely targeted at a more upscale, "escort" type sex worker. This was fine for my purposes but might not be useful for others.
2. The internet advertising and cyberhustling information is now somewhat out of date, although the general principles are probably still useful.
3. American focus throughout... as a Canadian boy, this made it less useful for me... though it was still pretty darn useful! We need someone to write "Male Escorting for Canadians for Dummies"
Overall, a fun and informative read and a must-read for any guy who's thinking of escorting.
