A participant on 'The Big Date' confesses to being a gigolo: "They pay me to do something I would do for free"

BarcelonaAlexis, one of the participants in La gran cita, the reality show from 3 Cat to find a partner presented by Dulceida, confessed on El suplement on Catalunya Ràdio that he works as a gigolo. "I tried it and I loved it. I haven't explained it because people can't imagine what it is, the people you meet and the experiences you have. And I'll do it again, because it has taught me a lot," he defended.

A few days ago, on the podcast of another of the participants, Xavi Furriol, Alexis had already let slip that he had had sexual experiences "perhaps with money involved" and that he was available on a gigolo website, photos that were leaked on social media. "I don't consider myself a gigolo. I have done escorting," he said. "I have accompanied women to feel better and to develop themselves sexually," he explained, adding that he is not currently "active".

These statements had already been commented on in various gossip shows, and this Sunday the protagonist went to Catalunya Ràdio to amplify the echo. Alexis admitted that he had a profile on the Gigolós Barcelona agency, where he presents himself as an athletic physiotherapist. "I have been with names that everyone knows, people I would never have joined," he said, and detailed that they were famous women. The guy doesn't see it as selling his body but his time, he explained to Roger Escapa. "All salaried employees sell their time every day. I sell my time to whoever I want and when I want," he states. Alexis detailed how the dates work, where sex is not an obligation. He charged 300 euros per hour.

"My time has value, like everyone who works," he states. "If someone wants to pay me for something I would do for free, I won't say no. I'm a businessman. They pay me to do something I would do for free, why not? It seems smart to me. Many people would do it and don't want to admit it," he adds. He assures that his limit is doing what he would do for free, and for example, he has not accepted thousands of euros to be with guys.

Alexis explained that the girls who have hired him are of great "quality", that they are not desperate girls who have trouble dating, but rather "girls you can admire" between 25 and 40 years old. "It surprised me, because they are women with whom everyone would like to spend time," he said. Alexis said he did it simply because he likes it, "it's super cool, I'm not ashamed to say it", although as Escapa pointed out to him, he didn't tell his partner with whom he connected on La gran cita, nor the producers of the show. "I also didn't tell him that I had been a professional rugby player and I'm as proud of that as this," the guy concludes.
