Just days after arriving in Australia, Marcus Richardson was offered $6,000 by a stranger to sleep with his wife while he watched.

What began as a bizarre encounter on a night out in Sydney led Marcus into the world of high-end male escorting. He started charging $300 an hour, entered an underground network of sex workers and eventually became one of Australia's most expensive male escorts.

In this episode, Marcus reveals what really happens behind closed doors, who hires male escorts, the darker side of the industry, and the psychological impact years of selling sex has had on him.
