This event is about promoting these gorgeous men and the skills they bring to being the top erotic performers in the industry.
Around the world, when men on the internet look for the services of a professional male escort or masseur, they turn to Rentboy.com. Founded in 1997, Rentboy.com was the first and reigns as the largest male escort website, making matches between men and its 100,000+ "working boys" in 160+ cities around the world. The International Escort Awards is Rentboy.com's way of recognizing, applauding, and showing respect to the thousands of escorts and masseurs who put their effort, courage, and skill into the underappreciated escort industry every day.
Escorts and bodyworkers are frequently stigmatized in the press, yet these courageous and skilled men provide an invaluable service, helping clients make meaningful physical contact, explore their fantasies, emotional needs, and desire for companionship. Rentboy.com has long been an advocate for a person's right to do what he or she likes with their body. We constantly reinforce the message that escorts should be proud of the services they provide and not marginalized or made to feel inferior to someone donning a suit every day and trading pork belly futures (see our manifesto at www.rentboy.com/rentboymanifesto). Today is the day we say come out and celebrate a unique occupation and above all be proud of how far we have come.
On March 23rd, 2012, The International Escort Awards will be presented live onstage at a star-studded gala at the Roseland Ballroom in Times Square as part of the Black Party Expo convention.
Remember, you can personally say thanks to the world's hottest hunks for sale by going to www.TheHookies.com to nominate the finalists for the 5th Annual International Escort Awards. Or you can come meet them in person at the live ceremony in New York, March 23rd, a night of gay entertainment, eroticism, applause, and laughs unlike any awards show you have seen before!
Press Interviews: Some of the current nominees and past winners have agreed to do a limited number of media interviews to discuss all aspects of escorting, the awards, their nomination, or even their more intimate parts that you might like to know more about. Please contact one of us with your ideas for interviews, and we will help you to find the right escort for you… Wait, isn't that what we always do?
