The whole man-whore/hustler theme about this film is just a backdrop to what is more important as a message put in this film.
Sure, there are scenes of sexual escapades but there's also an analytical perspective to the story. This film is more of a journey of a young man as he 'hustled' through the supposedly maze-like apartment building (as he'd called it) and met with different and interesting characters throughout the movie, and of course his sexual escapades ensued.
The brilliance about this film is that it's more like an anthology account of the man's journey from sexual encounter to the next and lessons in life that he gained from each one of them. Even though the story took place at a span of one night we could see the man's growing maturity and his take on life and love. And what's clever about it is that his learning phase never felt rushed.
To add to that, the hustler showed that he was quite a learned person as he could read body languages and even recognize a small figurine of a griffin that I suppose not many people would know about.
As hot as each of the sexual scenes was the 'sex' part served as merely the backdrop to the man's incredible journey in finding purpose to his life.
All in all, I'd say this is one film critics and people should not overlook. I just wish I could see the continuation of the relationship between the young man and Gary.
