Sex work in BL dramas / Gay romance
Series with a character in a gay romance who does some sort of sex work.
Note: If I have not seen the series/movie I can not confirm with surtainty that it truly is a gay man in sex work or if it is just a "gay for pay" situation. I also don't know if it can be called a gay romance, but I used that tag to find the series/movies.
Why this list? I am trying to make lists for every type of occupation in BL dramas/Gay romance. You may also be interested in my list called "Emergency services & crime fighters in BL dramas".
