SHADY LADY RANCH: 'Prostidude' begins work: State's first male prostitute waits for first client
Jan. 17--Nevada's first man of the house is about 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 180 pounds and performs under the name of Markus.
Actually, at last check, he hadn't done any performing yet.
The first licensed male prostitute in the state's history officially started work on Thursday at the Shady Lady Ranch 150 miles northwest of Las Vegas, but by Saturday night he had yet to see his first customer.
The brothel's owner, Bobbi Davis, said she has gotten a couple of inquiries from curious women, including one who talked about making an appointment later this week, but no one had made the trip just yet.
Most of the calls to the Shady Lady lately have come from the media.
Davis and her small Nye County bordello have made headlines around the world since she won state and county approval to add men to her lineup of sex workers.

According to "Details," Markus said becoming Nevada's first so-called prostidude is "the same as when Rosa Parks decided to sit at the front instead of the back (of the bus).
"This actually isn't about selling my body. This is about changing social norms."

Markus came to the legal brothel business from Southern California, where tried his, um, hand in adult films. Davis said he apparently appeared in two or three porn movies, but he didn't like the lack of steady work and all the waiting around involved in movie-making.
