gigolo
Paid male companion
A gigolo is a man paid to be a woman's escort or lover, typically someone younger kept by an older, wealthier woman.
The term suggests a transactional relationship where companionship, attention, or sex is exchanged for financial support or gifts: He lived as a gigolo to aging socialites.
The word carries connotations of superficiality and mercenary charm.
