Some twitter users are seriously unhappy about <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/filla/you-better-be-nice-and-naked-when-i-get-there-3-pastors-turn-poor-teenager-into-sex/yfsl3lr" id="0bb0d3c8-3633-48e6-8fbd-40f3239b3cb5">reference to male sex workers as “sex consultants”, </a>while their female counterparts are bluntly called prostitutes.

The hullabaloo comes in the wake of a publication by The Sun, UK about a 37-year-old man who charges women £1,000 to give them good sex they are not getting from their partners.

Madison James is quoted as saying: “The women I see have lost touch with their sexual energy because their feminine essence has not been nurtured for a vet long time. They contact me to help connect them with that.”

In the report, Madison James was referred to as “sex consultants”, instead of a prostitute. This has triggered reactions from twitter users who believe it smacks of double standards.

One user, @miss_andisa who stoked the controversy wrote: "Sex worker. He’s a sex worker, but you know, because he’s not a woman, they find nice terminology for it. Had it been a woman, they’d have used the most derogatory word and shamed the hell out of her. “Sex consultant”. LMAO,? rha amadoda."
