Introducing the First Legal Male Prostitutes
In Nevada, that is. Nevada is currently the only state where prostitution is legal…as long as it is confined to brothels located in specific counties within the state. Until recently, these brothels only hired women in accordance with the state’s health and safety laws that required licensed prostitutes to undergo frequent cervical testing to ensure they remain STD free.
Within a couple of weeks, one of the state’s legal brothels is hoping to hire a few men to service their clients. This is thanks to a new regulation that provides for urethral testing for men to ensure the same health standards for both sexes.
Although street prostitution, brothels, and all other forms of advertised sexual services are illegal in this state under California Penal Code 647(b)’s prostitution / solicitation laws, each form still takes place on a daily basis.
While brothels “per se” no longer operate in California, massage parlors, strip clubs, and other “adult venues” still offer similar services. But buyer beware…undercover decoy officers routinely conduct sting operations in the hopes of making California Penal Code 647(b) prostitution / solicitation arrests.
