No, a gigolo is a man who doesn't believe in monogomy. A player, smooth operator. He is not a prostitute or a pimp or an escort. And if he gets money it is not for paymnet of sevices.

Yes, if you compare a gigolo to a very high-priced courtesan who has only a few select clients. Regular prostitutes who work for pimps or in brothels seldom get more than a fraction of what they earn, and they usually have to take whatever customers come along. Courtesans and high-end callgirls can be more selective; so can gigolos. A gigolo is more of a kept man than a male street prostitute.
Gigolos typically have their expenses paid by their "girlfriends" and also receive money for their time and for sexual services. If the gigolo is working for a wealthy woman, sometimes the "relationship" is dressed up as a form of employment where the gigolo has some trivial task like cleaning the pool. This is for tax purposes and to help keep the lady's reputation intact, because while it's socially acceptable for men to frequent prostitutes or courtesans, it's less acceptable for a woman to do so.
If the gigolo serves the lower end of the market and serves working class women, he usually receives free room and board whenever he's in action (or whenever he's in the area). He sleeps over, generally because he doesn't have a place to stay otherwise. He usually feels free to borrow a lady's car or to help himself to whatever is in the refrigerator. The woman (or women) he's with typically pay him an allowance of sorts. It isn't big money. Sometimes, if both the lady and the guy are into the drug scene, she might provide him with illegal drugs.
Life for a gigolo is not always easy. He has to disappear when the boyfriend or husband comes by, he seldom gets taken to parties, and he can be dumped suddenly if the lady develops a serious love interest. Even if he falls for the lady he's with, part of the arrangement is that he has to step aside if she finds someone "better". This could happen at any time, so there's no such thing as job security. He's got to be scrupulous about birth control, because he doesn't want to end up paying for child support. He's also got to work on his body by spending time at the gym, just the way the high-end prostitutes do in Saint Pauli. This, plus the fact that he has to be available on short notice, means that the gigolo lifestyle really interferes with finding a paying job in a good field, with something that might lead to retirement benefits. A gigolo might have clients in every zip code (like the guy in the song) but he has to pay for his own transportation and expenses between liaisons. Life also goes on without him.
If a gigolo starts losing his hair or his looks, his career is usually over and he starts sliding down the scale in terms of the allowances he can expect and the number of ladies who are interested in him. If he develops erectile dysfunction, it's all over. A woman can fake arousal and satisfaction; a man finds it much more difficult. The other major risk for a gigolo is substance addiction. A person in the sex trades can make a lot of money while they're young, but if they develop a substance addiction all that money goes away fast. Most of the payment is in kind and under the table, so gigolos don't receive pensions and are seldom eligible for Social Security unless they work out some kind of pool-boy arrangement for tax and Social Security purposes.
One thing gigolos don't have is a pimp or madam leeching off of them, providing them with "dates", providing security services, or otherwise controlling their interaction with the public. If they advertise, they typically do it through escort services or personal ads. More often it is done by word of mouth. Or by accident-- a lot of kept men fall into the gigolo lifestyle without even knowing it. He goes out with a rich woman for a while and even moves into her apartment, they break up, and he moves on to one of her friends. It used to happen to kept women a lot, but now that more women are financially independent men are being drawn into the kept lifestyle too.
One thing you should be aware of if you're thinking of hiring a gigolo is that you're probably going to catch Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) even if you use condoms religiously. After all, you're having sex with a very promiscuous man for whom the door probably swings both ways. Since there aren't a lot of women who hire high-end gigolos, there's a very good chance that the high-end gigolo has serviced guys from time to time just to make ends meet. Unless you're paying extra for exclusive access to the man, he reserves the right to take a contract on the side once in a while, and he can pick up HPV at any time. A condom won't protect you because HPV can be spread even if a condom is used. HPV is the primary cause of cervical cancer. There is no cure for HPV; you merely have to have invasive checkups at least once a year to ensure no precancerous cells are forming.

I'd have to say yes.
And yes, thats my expert opinion.

No, it is kind of like another word for pimp. I think as one song goes, "I am a gigolo, I got hoes in different area codes.", so I am guessing it is more like a pimp and not a prostitute. Oh yea, and men can be prostitutes too you know!
