Ever wondered about the real history behind the term "gigolo"? In this fascinating After Dark episode, Jen takes Dagda (and listeners) on a wild research journey exploring the evolution of gigolos from elegant dance companions in the 1920s to modern-day male escorts.

Discover how the 1887 Pranzini Affair murder case in France forever changed society's perception of gigolos, transforming them from respectable social companions into something far more scandalous. Jen shares an extensive list of gigolo-centric films spanning nearly a century—from Cecil B. DeMille's 1926 silent film to Richard Gere's "American Gigolo" to the comedic "Deuce Bigalow" franchise—plus TV shows like "Hung" and the Jon Bernthal-led "American Gigolo" series.

The conversation takes hilarious detours into Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, the historical treatment of female "hysteria," and whether Dagda could ever make it as a gigolo (spoiler: 3.5 out of 10). With their signature blend of research, humor, and unfiltered banter, Jen and Dagda prove once again why friendship and curiosity make the best podcast ingredients.

Always a good time to be had...After Dark.

We truly enjoyed our time working on the brick and mortar side of the adult industry. We spent A LOT of time trying to satisfy and satiate many a curious mind while educating the 1st timers on some adult fun ideas!

We had a great employer who was not only the 1st fully licensed adult store in Washington , Momma D was the 1st FEMALE adult store owned in our state!
