Rentboy
Rentboy was one of the most well-known online platforms for advertising male escorts and gay escort services. The website allowed independent escorts to make profiles, upload photos, and connect directly with clients.
The platform became widely used in major cities such as Miami, London and Berlin, and was considered one of the largest directories for male escorts before its closure.
In 2015, the website was shut down by U.S. federal authorities, which led to significant discussion about online escort advertising, prostitution laws, and the regulation of adult services on the internet.
Before it was closed, Rentboy was often used by male escorts, including those advertising as gigolos or targeting male clients through gay escort services.
