Hmmm, the site doesn't seem to like that link. In any case, the American fashion designer Marc Jacobs has a boyfriend often referred to as a rent boy, so Googling will bring that up and similar.

Clayton, I've heard it used in the New York media. However, it may be that it is common only in cities with prominent gay communities.

pimp, man-whore
These or any of the other terms fit the bill. Please indicate the context, shades of meaning, and connotations.
Example sentence:
Jorge is a real man-whore. He's with a different woman every night. He's a pimp for real! He's got more sugar mommas than I can count.
