The West Gets Wilder [Brothel for female patrons??]

PICTURE a pleasure oasis in the Nevada desert, a collection of luxurious bungalows featuring bedrooms with fireplaces where sexual fantasies and desires are catered to. Starting at $250 an hour.

But at this house, Heidi's Stud Farm, the prostitutes will be hunky men and the patrons women.

Heidi Fleiss is planning the all-male brothel on 60 acres in Nevada, where prostitution is often legal, and there are more than two dozen brothels of the conventional sort. Lawyers for Ms. Fleiss, the ex-Hollywood madam who served time in prison in the late 1990's on federal charges related to a high-end call-girl business, plan to apply for a license this month. Ms. Fleiss said she expects to have her house of ill repute up and running later in the year.

"The times have changed so much, with women in control," Ms. Fleiss, 40, said in a telephone interview from Nevada on Thursday. "Women make more money. They are more powerful. And it's a lonely world. People are tired of Internet dating. It's easier to go to a place where you know you'll have your dream man."

Is that possible? Are American women really ready for what will be among the first brothels of its kind? Will they pay for sex as a no-fuss transaction?

Researchers and groups that study or work with prostitutes say that American women already do pay under certain circumstances. Women as well as men can be "sex tourists," for example. While on vacation in spots like Jamaica or the Dominican Republic, women pay for sex and the companionship of usually younger men. Back home, while male escorts overwhelmingly cater to gay clients, groups that study prostitution say there is a niche in the business for those who cater to women.

I have no idea if this is a hoax.

I interviewed with Heidi last week and got the job.I'll be known as "Studmuffin".

*just waiting for the inevitable comments* maybe some will actually be funny :)

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Regardless of one's moral view of Fleiss, you have to concede that she's a savvy businesswoman.

[conservative physics]

It will never work. Unlike women, men have to be in the mood to have sex.

Can you imagine some chippendale type guy getting turned on enough to have sex with some 400 pound cow, which is the only type of women likely to seek this type of service?

[ICE-FLYER]

I can just see their ad's now:

"Come cheat on your husband here",

or maybe;

"Male whores are just as sleazy as women whores as we are an equal opportunity corrupter!"

Or how about;

"Its NOT for the children!......its all about you!!"

[mcenedo]

The Slime is panting for the first (legal) gay brothel.

[cgk]

That she is. Too bad she doesn't apply it elsewhere. ;)

Note to Maureen Dowd: Does this answer your question? Yes, men are necessary and let Heidi prove it to you.

Hey Laz... check it out!
The Bush Economy is creating some new career opportunities in the service sector!

[ncountylee]

Probably about 98% of their customers will be gay males.

[pissant]

I imagine that it will be more popular with the fellers from San Fran than with the ladies.
