\nAmerica’s first legal male prostitute has left a rural Nevada brothel after a two-month stint that generated plenty of attention but fewer than 10 paying customers.<\/p>\n
Brothel owner Jim Davis said Friday the Shady Lady Ranch had parted ways with the “prostitude” who worked under the name Markus.<\/p>\n
A replacement has been hired, but Davis hinted it was possible that Markus, a 25-year-old Alabama native, could be back.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know, he hasn’t told us yet,” Davis said.<\/p>\n
The tiny yellow brothel is 150 miles northwest of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Markus, who like other sex workers has asked that his real name not be used, didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment.<\/p>\n
He remained listed under the name “Markus Destin” by adult talent agency OC Modeling.<\/p>\n
Bobbi Davis, who co-owns the brothel with her husband and runs it as its madam, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the departure of Markus was a mutual decision.<\/p>\n
She said the brothel would keep employing men to have sex with women, including its latest hire, a Las Vegas man in his mid-30s who works under the name Y. Not and has had about 10 customers.<\/p>\n
The focus of the business, however, will remain on women prostitutes serving men, she said.<\/p>\n
Male companions were “never the main course,” she said. “We’re going to try it for a while longer.”<\/p>\n
The Shady Lady Ranch created a stir in Nevada’s brothel industry when it successfully won state and county approval to hire a male sex worker.<\/p>\n

After hiring Markus, the Davises cut him off from speaking with reporters after his first two interviews, in which he compared himself with Rosa Parks and Mahatma Gandhi.<\/p>\n
Markus was the subject of a first-person story by the New York Post after a female reporter hired him but said they did not have sex.<\/p>\n
