Betting on the Studs

Madam Heidi Fleiss is back—and building an all-male bordello in the desert. Is even Nevada ready for this?

By Steve Friess Newsweek

Dec. 12, 2005 issue - Standing on a desolate stretch of property dotted with sagebrush and litter 80 miles northwest of Las Vegas, former Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss surveys the sexual frontier. She's sketching out her vision for Heidi's Stud Farm, the country's first legal brothel serving female customers. This pleasure palace will be shaped like a castle, with a marble-floored great room, a spa, a sex-toy shop and secluded bungalows where 20 Casanovas will spend quality time with the clientele (at $250 an hour).

But Fleiss may not be welcome in these parts. As a convicted felon—she served time in prison in the late '90s on charges stemming from her high-priced call-girl operation in L.A.—Fleiss may find it difficult to get a license. And some owners of the state's legal bordellos (where rates range from several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the activities) worry that Fleiss's business could give Nevada's religious conservatives ammunition to get prostitution outlawed altogether.

"Heidi Fleiss scares the hell out of me," says George Flint, lobbyist for the Nevada Brothel Association, which represents some of the state's 26 legal houses of ill repute, most of them dressed-up doublewides with names like the Chicken Ranch and the Cherry Patch.

I never expect more than a round of applause, followed by a sandwich.

I don't know... some of the womenfolk that frequent that place might not be able to get any otherwise. Think about it; what kind of woman has to pay for sex from a guy?

How sexist. Of course she should be allowed to open her brothel in counties where such things are legal.

I hate to burst bubbles, but I think most customers will be old ladies and men!

Being the cynic, does anyone know what the reddish lump and discolored line on the arm on the left of that picture might be?

It will NEVER work. Women will not go to anonymous studs, I'll bet. Different biological-mental make-up. Heidi Fleiss is a whore.

No, THIS is the hard way.

"Okay, Cindy, so you're sure you want the police uniform and the cameras?"

"Yes, dammit! Now shut up and get to work! Or are those left-wing PAC dollars not green enough for you?"

My thoughts are with this brave, desperate man.

For the good looking women, the guys won't wanta charge. For the not so good lookers, the cash won't help.
