What could be better than spreading your seed around town? Spreading your seed around town and getting paid for it, son! And what’s even better than that? Well, according to critics, HBO’s new series Hung is. The dark comedy, which premieres this weekend, is about a well-endowed, down-on-his-luck high school basketball coach (Thomas Jane) who becomes a male escort to make ends meet. And meet ends he does!
HBO is hardly the first to tap into the gigolo genre. Something about the concept of a male prostitute is oddly tantalizing for creative types, and the idea has found its way into movies, television shows, and music over the years. In honor of the market for meat, we give you our list of the most entertaining gigolos. Trust us, it pays (to read on)…

Does Sasha Grey get the ring or just the pearl necklace?
We’ve never really thought of Sasha Grey as wifey material. Maybe it’s those 150-plus movies she’s made where guys with elephantitis of the dong degrade her for money. Yes, it’s difficult to imagine a porn star as our boo, but ever since we saw her in a real acting role, playing a prostitute in Steven Soderbergh’s art film The Girlfriend Experience, we’ve wondered if she might actually be someone worth showing the ring too (and we’re not even talking about the one that keeps us fully engorged).
Granted, playing a high class whore isn’t that big a stretch for Sasha, but at least she didn’t get choked out by any monster cocks. It’s a step in the right direction, so Complex is willing to give her a shot or two (and a chance to vie for the title of wifey!). Check out the arguments for both sides and help us decide if Sasha Grey deserves to walk the aisle in an off-white gown…

Liam Neeson frowns upon abducting, drugging and selling his daughter into sex slavery.
Contrary to popular belief, Ayo! Scott is not an absolute savage. OK, he will treat her like a prostitute (”her” being any woman you care deeply for) but he absolutely will not treat her like a child prostitute. Ayo!’s just morally decent like that. Seriously. Ayo! loves the Captain Save-A-Ho genre, in which heroic older men attempt to rescue girls who’ve been forced into the sex trade (presumably so the young hotties will be grateful and have sex with them one day when it’s slightly less inappropriate). Films like Taxi Driver, Eastern Promises, Trade and Holly are not only entertaining but also serve to remind Ayo! that he shouldn’t pay for sex unless it’s with a consenting adult (as for non-pay sex, the “grass on the field” rule still applies).
The latest film to keep Ayo!’s moral compass pointed due north is Taken, a heartwarming father-daughter love story about sex slavery and killing the fuck out of bad guys with bare hands…

Hollywood sure loves them some prostitutes. Playing one used to be taboo, until Julia Roberts put trick-turning sidewalk huggers on the mainstream map in Pretty Woman, the most popular movie about hoes ever. Since then, the “hooker with a heart of gold” has become one of the industry’s most beloved characters.
But now they’ve gone too far. Today the news broke that Fergie will be playing a prostitute in the upcoming musical adaptation Nine, and we’re a little worried that her sour Fergalicious juice is going to tarnish Hollywood’s flawless streak of high-priced hoes. After the jump, check out our 10 favorite big screen hookers.
