Wikipedia Article: "Male Escort"

[Guy Fawkes]

This is a thread for removing the redirect on Wikipedia for the term "Male Escort" to "Male Prostitute" and replacing it with an article that is more appropriate with our views. Gentlemen start your pens!

 

The quote that antoanvegas referes to is:

http://www.helium.com/items/1722080-male-escort-and-masseurs

 

I will attempt to reach Jimmi and see if we can use that blog entry as the starting point for the article.

 

So here's your challenge, We need the first paragraph that is the base line defination of the phrase. It should be factual, neutral, and advocate escorting in the affirming, positive aspects of the profession.

 

I have really enjoy while reading wiki's explanation about male escort services and male prostitution. I totally disagree this article in wiki. here is the link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_prostitution

 

I found another one by someone called Jimi Mikes and this is a passage from it I like it.

 

" The biggest misconception that people have is that male prostitutes and male escorts are the same. However, there is a fine line between them and a few differences do exist. A male prostitute will specifically offer sexual services for money. However, an escort will offer his time for the fees that he will charge. In several cases erotic and sexual services might be included but more often than not the client will simply want to spend time in the company of an attractive man or might even be looking for a companion for a social event. Male escorts are quite socially presentable and discreet which makes them the ideal companions."

Still in progress...

 

Daddys Sez: This is the start of the article that I plan on posting to wikipedia. Comments and Suggestions gratefully accepted.

 

Male Escort

 

A male escort is a man who provides companionship for a fee. The service can be as simple as a escorting somebody to a dinner or as extensive as being a travel companion for a [[safari]] to Tanzania.

 

Some Famous Escorts in History

Misconceptions

 

The biggest misconception that people have is that male escorts and male prostitutes are the same. However, there is a fine line between them and a few differences do exist. An male escort will offer his time for the fee that he will charge. However a male prostitute will specifically offer sexual services for money.

 

Erotic and sexual services might be included for escorts but at time the client will simply want to spend time in the company of an attractive man or is looking for a companion for a social event. For the most part Male escorts are socially presentable and discreet which makes them the ideal companions.

 

Legal Considerations

 

The important difference between a Male escort and [[Male Prostitute]] is that the former works within the law, and the latter works outside the law. In most cases escort services are considered to be legal. However, there may be laws in your locality that govern escorting. It is wise to research local laws and regulations before hiring an escort or being hired as an escort.

If you can, Daddy, try to provide references for as many claims as you can. Wikipedia editors really jump on anything that looks unsubstantiated or anything that looks like new research.

I don't remember ever reading an Advertisment by anyone Stating.."Male Escort" for Hire Definitely NO SEXUAL Services included

 

At least not the Sites we all at Daddys are used to referring to!

Certainly, however more than one pair of eyes, more than one pair of hands, more than one brain will certainly make the article more complete. Please help.
