Nevada health board advances brothel owner’s attempt to offer state’s 1st male prostitutes

Nev. brothel aims to offer 1st male prostitutes

LAS VEGAS — The owner of a brothel more than two hours’ drive from Las Vegas says she hopes to hire Nevada’s first legal male prostitutes within a month, now that a state health board has approved a method to test them for infectious diseases.

Shady Lady Ranch owner Bobbi Davis tells The Associated Press she believes the world’s ready for women, or even other men, to legally buy sex from men at her remote bordello near the Nye County town of Beatty.

She says being the first to offer the service could boost business, too.

But the Nye County sheriff and a longtime lobbyist for Nevada’s legal brothel industry say Davis still needs approval from the county.

And they say they’re not sure yet whether the idea will work.
