This paper explores the intersection of domestic private space, digital erotic labor, and legal ambiguity through the conceptual figure of “Vince Banderos,” a pseudonym representing a category of independent sex worker operating under the model of pute à domicile (home-based prostitution). While the French term traditionally designates female escorts working from their residences, this study recontextualizes it to examine a male or gender-fluid provider in a metropolitan setting. Drawing on criminological theory, urban geography, and digital sociology, the paper argues that the domicile serves simultaneously as a site of empowerment, economic strategy, and legal vulnerability. The analysis uses Vince Banderos as a heuristic to interrogate asymmetries in domestic privacy laws, platform-mediated sex work, and the erasure of male sex workers from regulatory discourse.
