I was sitting on my bed and decided I would like to have some money. Maybe a few thousand. But how would I do that? I was 18-years-old and still a senior in high school. I've never held a job before and wasn't particularly good at anything. However, I wasn't going to let that deter me. My dad frequently receives money from his work, so I went to him for advice.
"Dad, how would I go about making money," I asked him while walking into the kitchen where he stood.
"What do you need money for? You have everything you need," he asked before sipping his coffee. Truthfully, I had no idea what I would spend it on, but it felt important that I have some. I remember hearing that girls like guys with money.
"I want to get a girlfriend. I've never had one before, and they look fun," I replied.
"Darrell, despite what those Hallmark original movies your mom watches would have you believe, you can't pay a woman to be your girlfriend. But you are right that if you want to treat a girl nicely and take her to fancy places, you need money," Dad said, putting his hands on my shoulder. I barely listened to him as I was upset to hear that the Hallmark original movie mom and I watched last night, 'A Princess for Christmas that I Bought with Money,' was not realistic.
Dad continued to give his advice. "The Lord blessed us all with gifts. Just think of your hands and all the awesome things you can do with it. Once you appreciate what I am telling you, it will be obvious what you should do to make money."
I thanked Dad and walked back to my room. I spent a while deep in thought about what he said. 'The Lord...gifts...hands...awesome.' Then it hit me what he was telling me I should do. I should become a male prostitute.
I quickly typed in 'male whore best practices' into a search on my computer and watched every video I could find on the subject. That night, I formulated my business strategy and marketing plan and created an Excel spreadsheet that I didn't know what to do with, but the videos told me I should have. I even set up a Yelp page where customers could review my services. I didn't have a physical location of my own that I could link to my Yelp page, so instead, I linked it to the school. That way, people could just look there to see reviews of people who had paid me for sex. Tomorrow at school, I will start my business.
That morning at school, I approached Megan to try and make my first sale. Megan was a fellow 18-year-old senior. She was a popular girl at school and was overall very pretty with an attractive body. She was the ideal person to try and get to agree to pay me for sex. While alone at her locker, I approached her and made my pitch. "Hello, Megan. I know you and I have not met before, but my name is Darrell. I am starting a business and would like to offer you the opportunity to be my first customer. For a very competitive price of 200 dollars, I will have sexual intercourse with you until I orgasm. Shall we shake on it," I said, holding out my hand.
Surprisingly, Megan did not immediately take me up on my offer. "Who put you up to this? Whoever it is, this isn't funny," she said, looking around.
"I can assure you this is an authentic deal. For my quoted price of 200 dollars I will put as much of my penis in your pussy as you wish, until I orgasm. I have an opening right now, but I can't promise I will stay free for long," I said, sticking my hand out even further.
"Oh my god. You are serious, aren't you? You're 5 foot 5 inches tall and look like a Girl Scout could take you in a fight. Nobody wants to have sex with you, let alone pay you for it," she mocked.
But I wasn't deterred. "You're trying to get me to lower my price, but I won't. It's 200 dollars or you don't get to have sex with me."
"Oh my god, that's not what I'm saying...," she said but was interrupted by her phone ringing.
As she got her phone out, I countered another point she had made. "I would charge the girl scout, assuming she is of legal age, extra for fighting during sex. That's not included in the price I quoted you." But she ignored me and answered her phone.
"What is it, Brad... But she's a slut who's blown everyone in the school... I don't care if that means she's probably good at it... Fine then, enjoy your new talented girlfriend." Megan ended the call and started stomping her feet on the ground. "I wasted two goddamn months of my life on that jackass, and he just broke up with me for another woman. Bastard," she yelled. I figured she either just went through an actual breakup, or this was an elaborate act she planned ahead of time to get me to lower my price for sex. But how did she know I decided to become a prostitute?
Suddenly, Megan's head popped up, and she looked at me. "Change of plans. It's your lucky day. I will be having sex with you. Not because I want to, but to get back at my ex-boyfriend." She grabbed my hand and started leading me somewhere.
"I'll require all 200 dollars upfront before we start engaging in the sex," I reminded her as she dragged me along.
That made her stop in her tracks. "I'm like the hottest girl in the school. Do you know how many guys would love to be in your shoes right now? Girls like me don't pay for sex with anyone. We get any guy we want, period," she said firmly.
"The price isn't up for negotiation. I should also mention that the price does not include blow jobs. If you want to put my penis in your mouth, that will cost extra," I replied even firmer.
"I had Brad, the hottest guy in the school, giving it to me regularly, for free obviously. You aren't even in the top 75% hottest of our class," she countered.
"I can understand why you are upset that Brad broke up with you. For him to give you sex for free was a fantastic deal for you. But I don't do price matching. It sounds like we won't be coming to a deal today. I hope you have a good day," I said as I turned to walk away.
Megan grabbed my hand again. "Nobody, and I mean nobody, denies me when I offer them a chance to get with me in this school. What game are you playing? How big is your cock where you think I'll pay a loser like you for sex?"
"I can promise you it is no shorter than 4 inches when fully erect," I said putting my marketing strategy into play.
"What...four...and you still expect me to pay you? What is going on," Megan said, looking confused.
"Again, I'm sorry, but we won't be having sex then," I repeated and started walking away again. It was at this time that others around us in the school hall were taking note of our conversation. They seemed interested in the fact that I was denying a popular girl like Megan sex. I didn't understand why that was noteworthy. If I went into a store and wanted a can of paint for free, the store owner would deny me, which would hardly be newsworthy. Maybe selling sex is different, but I didn't understand how.
Megan was hyper-aware of those listening and soon realized people were witnessing her getting rejected by this nobody. She grabbed me by the collar and whispered into my ear. "Fine, asshole. I'll pay your 200 dollars. But you will state loudly right here and now that you are accepting my offer of sex."
"But you're accepting my offer. I don't want people thinking I'm giving it away free," I whispered back.
"I'll throw in another 20 dollars, just fucking do it," she snarled. I nodded my head and looked around at the small crowd of students that had gathered around us.
"I, Darrell, hereby accept Megan's offer for a single encounter involving sex. She had a coupon, which is why...," I loudly declared before Megan pulled me away.
"Good enough, idiot. I know an area in the music wing where we can have some privacy," she said, guiding me. I needed to remember to write her a coupon later for sex in case people ask about that. That could be my design project in art class.
Megan brought us to one of the band practice rooms and locked the door. "Okay, lose your pants. Let's do this," she said, looking at my crotch.
"Not before I get my money. All 220 dollars now please," I said crossing my arms. Megan pulled her shirt over her head and then undid her bra, showing off her ample breasts.
"How about you get your hands on these and forget about the money," she asked, making a seductive face.
"Stimulation of your boobs and or nipples is not included in the 200-dollar package. That will cost you an extra 30 dollars," I explained. Megan looked at me, confused, and down at her breasts.
She then pulled down her skirt, revealing a tiny thong. "Should I take this off? Would you like that," she asked while pulling down her thong ever so slightly.
