Prostitution - 2008
Someone's Waiting For You In The Lobby

Women who will pay for sex or the company of a charming male stranger are rare, but as more women have access to their own money and independence they are giving it a try.
There are only a handful of men in Australia who work as heterosexual male escorts. This is in contrast to the huge industry of female escorts for heterosexual men and the reasonably large male homosexual escort industry.
There is also a non-sexual male escort service based in Queensland—for those who want an escort who is literally only an escort.
So why are some women paying for it and some men happy to be paid? What actually happens in the bedroom? And if sex is not involved what does the man actually do?
In this program we talk to two of these women and the men who service them.
The women originally interviewed for this program wanted to remain anonymous, so their actual words have been read by actors Rebecca Havey and Rebecca Massey.
