A podcast is interviewing me soon. We’re going to talk about m4m sex work. The audience is primarily gay men and other LGBTQ+ folks, but isn’t as knowledgeable as most of you here on The Company of Men. Most of them have never hired a masseur or sex worker before. They will want to know all the basics. It’s hard for me to step back and put myself in the shoes of someone who knows almost nothing about the profession, or perhaps has misconceptions about our work. What questions would you ask me? What do you think I should cover? Is there anything you would like other men who are interested in men to know about hiring? Any advice for them? Some topic ideas: General What is sex work? Who does sex work? Who hires sex work? Why is sex work important and valuable? Is sex work really work? Economics How much do sex workers make? Why does it cost so much? What about discounts? Do I tip my sex worker? How much? How do I receive the best value for my money? Do sex workers pay taxes? What methods of payment can I use? Risks, Personal Safety Is sex work legal? Is sex work safe? What about STIs? Will I get in trouble? Are sex workers discreet? Will anyone find out? How do sex workers screen? How do I select a good sex worker? How do I avoid fraud and scams? Practical Matters Cum Erections Performance Stamina Hygiene Sex roles, preferences Communication Expectations Other Why do you do this work? Do sex workers have romantic relationships?

Thank you all for your great suggestions. As expected, we were only able to cover a fraction of the topics I would have liked to during the limited time we had. While I sent a long list of questions and subtopics to inspire the hosts, it was ultimately up to them to select what they most wanted to ask. As always, you are all welcome to “ask me anything” any time. I realized after listening that I mispoke when I plugged this site, saying THE company of men dot org (when it’s simply companyofmen.org). Sorry about that. I know that it’s the latter but goofed up in the moment. People will find us here, I’m sure. A quick google and it will pop up, with or without the “The”. Here is the podcast for any who are interested in listening to the interview. The interview portion starts right at 16:00 minutes in, if you want to skip their intro stuff, news stuff, etc. Gayish: 463 Sex Workers (w/ Simon Suraci) PODCASTS.APPLE.COM Podcast Episode · Gayish Podcast · 11/06/2025 · 1h 17m
