The 'ManServants' Startup Is Not for Sex, but It Should Be
ManServants is billing itself as an Uber-like service for cabana boys. In a better world, it would work even more like Uber, and it would work for sex.
If the response on Twitter is any indication, then ManServants is going to make someone millions of dollars. Billions of dollars. All of the dollars.
For the uninitiated, ManServants is a new startup launching in San Francisco this fall. It is a service, more or less, designed to improve the bachelorette party experience. ManServants is grounded in a familiar complaint that strippers don't really do the same thing for bachelorette parties that they do for bachelor parties. Women don't want to see men strip, these innovators explain; in place of floppy man parts bouncing in their faces, women would rather see well-appointed butlers catering to their whims. The ManServants promotional video illustrates their case pretty clearly.
