Every night, Jeff Tetreault (pictured) oils himself up, fluffs his dick, slips on a cock ring, then hits the stage to swing his junk in front of West Hollywood club patrons.
“There are easily 50 straight go-go boys that you see working regularly,” Tetreault estimates during a new interview with Vice.
He knows because he’s one of them.
“So much of dancing is acting,” Tetreault says. “You really have to play it up. … One of the skills of dancing is that you have to learn how to reject someone but remain endearing at the same time, which is not easy to do.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Tetreault’s says one of his greatest assets is his penis.
“I have a pretty good bulge and that’s kinda my M.O. when it comes to dancing,” he explains. “I always want to go out with a well-fluffed dick, I want to look the best I can, have the best bulge, and I want to earn money.”
“I use cock rings,” he continues. “A lot of guys will take Viagra. … I’ve seen one guy inject his dick with caverject, which is the stuff they use in porn to stay hard for three hours.”
As for being propositioned for sex by club patrons, Tetreault says it happens pretty regularly.
“I routinely get offers to accompany people back home,” he says. “They’re called ‘privates,’ to do anything from cuddle with someone, masturbate for them, or let them blow me. The price range varies. I’ve been offered anywhere from $200 to $5,000, and I can’t bring myself to do it.”
While he enjoys being “the center of attention,” there are certainly times when being a go-go boy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
“I’ve been condescended to many times,” Tetreault explains. “I’m essentially a zoo animal and a piece of meat at work.”
He says he deals with everything from creeps lurking in the shadows taking photos and videos of him to people wanting to fondle his junk for $1.
“It’s usually the guy with the lone dollar bill that wants the most from you,” Tetreault says. “The people with money don’t make a big deal about making you dance for them, or treating you like a bear with a tiny hat on a ball.”
He continues: “I’ve had guys reach in my underwear and grab around in there, and they just leave a dollar in there and you just smile and you thank them. And I feel like such a piece of shit. Like, I basically just thanked you to grope me for a dollar. Those are the moments where I ask, ‘Who the fuck am I?'”
Despite all this, Tetreault says he’s “not ashamed” of his career.
“I see it as part of my journey,” he says. “It’s my job. It isn’t my identity. It got me my Playgirl magazine spread. I did a music video with Willam Belli and Courtney Act who are two famous drag queens. It has created an interesting narrative for myself and I feel like it’s because I’m open about it.”

LOL, he lets himself get blown for money. Next it will be for free. “My journey” is The Gay Journey, and he’s just embarked on it.

Nope I won’t even give straight bartenders or go-go boys the time of day in a gay bar. EVER.

@Bubbleandsqueal: He did say in the article that he’s been offered sexual propositions, but never followed through on them. I’m not going to go the easy route and say that he’s messed up in life and that’s why he has the job he does… it’s possible he might like what he does. Probable, no, but possible, yes. I’m not stupid… I don’t think anyone grows up with plans to dance half-naked in clubs, although it’s easy money and all you have to do is be pretty, fit, and dead inside.
DarkZephyr
Oh God. You know what I find ironic? That he is acting like he is being used and exploited, etc. What he doesn’t seem to be getting is that he himself is exploiting gay men for money. I am tired of these hetero-hucksters acting like THEY are the ones being used.
McShane
Nope, nope, nope. Bad Johnson was soooooooo bad. Sofa king bad.
Spike
@DarkZephyr: And yet he’s totally well adjusted, as long as you don’t grab his junk for $1 . . $20, that’s totally cool.

This guy sounds like a douche.

Is this guy for real? He sells “sex” for a living and is upset he is treated like a piece of meat? Cry me a river while I play my heart bleeds for you on the world’s smallest violin.

What I find hilarious is the patrons who put greenbacks in his G-string. Puh-lease.

Personally, I think you are lying. I honestly thought go-go boys played out with the twist. You come off as a sanctimonious ass-shaker who wants to “rise” above all the rest. The only thing missing are the bible quotes that I am sure you are full of.

I think it’s also funny that he wrote “Bad Johnson”, a movie about a penis separating from a person and expressing emotion. That should give a bit of insight. I guess art truly does stem from life’s experiences. In this instance, it’s just old gay guys trying to rip his penis off.
NoAutographsPlease
These fools need to stop lying. These men are NOT straight dancing in gay venues. Bitch, TRY AGAIN
Mark Reimer
SHUURRRRRR he’s str8….

I HATE the straight Weho go-go boys. They’re only a few but they always really do give the gay guys who are at a gay bar NO attention.

I get so tired of the “straight” dick dancer crap. If they are so straight, they would be working at a strip club for women. They make just as much, and maybe more working for those cheesy women stip acts. It’s more about them getting attention from men. And the labels are a huge hangup. They may not sleep with men but, they do enjoy that attention so, it appeals bit more on their gay side than they are willing to admit. Sexy men are the ones that are totally comfortable with ever part of themselves, straight, gay or otherwise. These are boys.
Captain Obvious
This stupid “straight” schtick needs to die. There are plenty of hot OUT gay men who deserve our attention.
If these guys are so straight then they can get the money of women.
And crying about being fondled by guys in a gay bar or club is just plain stupid. Would they cry about women doing the same? Boofreakinghoo.
Kal Andrews
Aww…poor baby.
Casey Clark
Don’t like your job…quit.
Avery Alvarez
Not interested in giving straight guys money for entertainment.
AT ALL.
I’ve got better things to do with my time and money to give it to straight guys.
I wouldn’t even go to a club that had straight dancers. It’s a huge turn off.
