I'm shedding great big tears. Where were all the cougars when I could have spread some catnip? Reminds me of cartoon in Esquire a long time ago, showing two women walking away from a flasher with widespread topcoat. One says to the other, But where are they when you want one?

There is the word 'catamite' (not to be confused with catamount), but this is generally taken to refer to a boy. I don't know that there is a word for what a catamite graduates to.

A "lady goddesslet", did I say? Not quite tautology, but I don't know enough about her to say whether she was a lady or not. Most of them weren't particularly noted for ladylike behaviour.

From catamite to punk is a flunk.

Now...what were comparable men called who were paid for their services in the British Isles? How 'bout trumpets?

Gives a whole new meaning to the line from a song from "Gypsy Rose" that went:
"If you're gonna bump it, bump it with a trumpet"!

It is reported that at Ms. Rose's initial public performance, when she stood paralyzed in stagefright and uncertainty, the stage manager whispered harshly from the wings, "Don't just stand there! Undo something!"

Not all katoey are prostitutes. I remember reading about one a couple of years ago who was a champion kick-boxer until the opposition managed to wangle a ruling from whatever body regulates kick-boxing that put an end to his career.
