Alex the gigolo has experienced a lot, from passionate sex on a houseboat to having food smeared all over his naked body.
The 41-year-old male escort from the north of England has been in the business of selling his body to wealthy women for almost 20 years, and he loves it.
‘It’s sex! It’s fun,’ he told MailOnline in an exclusive interview.
What may surprise many people is that the self-described ‘silver fox’ has been happily together with his college sweetheart for 12 years.
Since he started working as an escort at university when he was 25 to earn extra money, he has slept with hundreds of women and earned tens of thousands of pounds.
Alex the gigolo, 41, (pictured) is a self-confessed ‘silver fox’ who has been a male escort for almost 20 years.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Alex revealed that she started escorting at university when she was 25 years old.
It has run into some interesting problems in its time.
Some of her clients enjoy Shibari, an ancient Japanese style of rope bondage.
Others have kinks and eccentric fetishes.
Alex said: ‘Some people like to play with their food.
They like its texture. They like to spread it all over their bodies.
Through his busy schedule as a shooting guard, Alex has learned the importance of pre-injury workouts to avoid nasty sprains or strains.
He has taken a few hits to the head during his work because he is quite tall, which revealed that this was especially a problem on a client’s houseboat.
Other injuries have included spraining her arm during sex with a client due to foreplay and more adventurous acrobatic moves during Shibari.
He has also suffered some shoulder problems from lack of stretching.
He said: ‘Today I’m a bit of a silver fox.
‘The first time I had a nine hour session my jaw locked.
‘She loved him.
“It was a little hard to explain at work.”
Offering MailOnline readers some top sex advice, he said: ‘Foreplay is there for a reason. Treat it like a warm up and remember to stretch properly afterwards.
‘Sustainable sex requires sustainable health routines’.
Despite selling his body for sex as a side job, he has managed to keep his wife happy at home and pursue a career in civil engineering.
The 41-year-old gigolo said he enjoyed his job and that his wife considered being an escort just “another part” of his life.
His clientele is usually made up of women in their thirties and fifties, although he sometimes sleeps with women in their twenties.
On Valentine’s Day this year, he received seven orders and ended up spending the romantic day with a 25-year-old woman.
For some, spending Valentine’s Day in bed with another woman could spell the end of their relationship.
However, for Alex’s wife, a 40-year-old theater lover who has known about his side job since he started college, the gigolo said he just “sees it as another part of my life.”
The couple met in college before getting together after graduating and eventually getting married four years ago.
Alex told MailOnline: ‘My wife is fine with that. We are both monogamous.
‘We have known each other for so many years.
‘She is my best friend.
“She jokes about me helping other marriages, satisfying wives, and keeping men from getting burned.”
He added: “We’re romantic enough all year long that we don’t really need to consider Valentine’s Day as a day dedicated to our relationship.”
‘These are the smallest moments for us.’
Alex said that he was “generally a reserved person”, but his close friends are aware of his sexual antics.
He said: ‘Everyone needs relief at some point.
“I don’t think it’s something anyone should look down on.
He made tens of thousands of pounds sleeping with hundreds of rich women and revealed that the money helped him pay off most of his mortgage.
However, he said the job was not without its dangers. He has suffered numerous injuries, from spraining his arm during foreplay to lockjaw after a nine-hour session with a woman.
‘It’s mostly company [people want]. It’s mostly dinner dates.
I guess just to feel less alone.
‘Occasionally [there’s] someone who is extra curly. It’s another way to have fun.
Alex, who is also a civil engineer, started escorting when he was in college and around 25 years old.
Nearly two decades later, it’s still going strong.
Alex said that he would not stop being an escort “unless there was a major problem.”
Although Alex and his wife don’t have children at the moment, he said he would probably stop selling himself for sex if they did.
He said that it would not be for the children as such, but that he would want to make sure that he was there to help his wife with childcare.
As a straight man, Alex doesn’t see solo male clients, although he has had a few ‘intimate’ MMF threesomes with partners.
“Those felt more like a learning experience for the men,” he said.
He has several regular clients and meets with a client once every two weeks.
He charges £200 an hour and £1,500 for an overnight stay and usually makes thousands every month.
Alex has recorded each job in his files so he can keep track of his earnings.
He said: ‘January was a bit chilly, I made around £1,200.
Christmas was better. That was pushing around £3,000.
He added: ‘I was definitely making a lot more at the start.
In 2009, I was close to £55,000.
“It has gone down nowadays and especially during the pandemic, but overall it has been enough to pay off most of my mortgage.
‘[It was] a company, I assure you, although my main career occupies a greater part of my finances.
He said the key to pleasing someone in the bedroom was to be open and talk about what you both enjoy and are comfortable with.
Alex added that stretching to prevent injury was also very helpful because “sustainable sex requires sustainable health routines.”
The male escort said that the added benefit of sleeping with hundreds of women is that from time to time he comes across a new technique that he can take home to his wife.
He said: ‘My wife quite enjoys sometimes when I learn something new.
We don’t talk about work. She’s completely fine with it.
He only does ‘outings’, which means he travels to hotels or clients’ homes instead of taking them to his family’s home.
For the right price, he even travels farther and once even went all the way to Scotland just to meet a client.
Alex said that he would ‘never’ take them back to his own house because of his wife.
He hopes to “shine more light on escort work,” an industry he believes needs a shake up.
While she used to rely on word of mouth, she now uses sites like ChiccaChicca to advertise her escort service.
However, the gigolo admitted: “The escorts have it much more difficult than me.”
He explained that escorting is “for the most part completely legal,” but could become illegal if someone is “pimped.”
Paying for sex is legal in the UK, except in Northern Ireland, unless the prostitute has been forced or threatened to do the work.
He said the industry needed to be “more accessible to everyone” and carry less stigma.
He said: “For those who are sex-positive, having access to no-strings-attached sex shouldn’t be a five-hour session on a dating app.”
He said escorts should be able to offer same-day sex without being exploited by some sites that charge escorts dearly for online advertising.
A polite and unassuming man who was happy to offer insight into his secret life as a married gigolo, Alex also offered his sex tips to MailOnline readers.
He said the key to being a people pleaser in the bedroom was to discuss what you both enjoy.
He added that unlike him, people probably don’t get paid, so there’s no point in doing something you’re not comfortable with.
Alex said: ‘Talk to them and see what they like. Have fun.’
The names have been changed.
