Gouverneur Street, NYC: Dominick -Episode 79

In the 79th episode of the Red Umbrella Diaries podcast, former rentboy Dominick tells a story about getting out of jail. This piece was published in the first issue of the RedUP literary journal and was read at the Red Umbrella Diaries on December 6, 2012.

Dominick is a Brooklyn-born Italian who spent his twenties as a kept boy. In the wake of his Sugar Daddy’s alcohol-related death, he was left a modest fortune that fueled his own addiction. He started escorting in recovery to reclaim sex work on his own terms, retiring after three years to take a management position in commercial real estate. Dominick now writes for blog.rentboy.com, offering escorts and clients alike advice drawn from his experience. He’s a frequent presence at Red Umbrella Diaries, and has appeared in Dan Savage’s podcast and “Savage Love” column.
