On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, After The Party by Reece Hunter unveils the secrets, confessions, and surprising truths behind the booming buff butler industry, revealing a world of connection, reinvention, and thrilling double lives.

After The Party
In a world where hen parties, birthday bashes, and high-end private affairs are increasingly spiced up by the presence of bare-chested charmers, the buff butler industry is booming. Reece Hunter’s new book, After the Party, published on June 19, 2025, rips off the apron to reveal the tantalizing truths behind this fast-growing adult entertainment service.

A former buff butler himself, Hunter dives deep into the muscle, mischief, and mystery of an industry that’s about far more than oiled abs and cheeky grins. Through candid confessions, shocking secrets, and heartfelt reflections from the men who live this double life, After the Party offers a witty, raw, and surprisingly human look at masculinity, connection, and the thrill of reinvention.

From Hen Parties to High Stakes: The Rise of the Buff Butler
Once a quirky novelty for hen dos, buff butlers—hired for their charisma, humor, and chiseled physiques—are now a staple at events across the UK and beyond. Manchester leads the pack as the buff butler capital, with Liverpool and Leeds hot on its heels, according to a survey conducted for the book. More men are joining the ranks, with many transitioning to full-time roles. But what draws them in, and why do they stay? While the money is a lure, most butlers confess it’s no longer the main reason. For many, it’s the escape from the mundane, the rush of excitement, and the chance to live a double life that keeps them hooked.
Hunter’s book uncovers the real stories behind the apron, from comic mishaps to life-altering moments. These aren’t just hunks for hire; they’re men chasing something deeper—connection, control, or simply the thrill of being desired. After the Party humanizes the buff butler, revealing tales of love, lust, danger, and identity that go far beyond the party.
Secrets and Confessions: What Happens After the Party?
The book is packed with jaw-dropping anecdotes that lift the veil on this secretive world. From a butler hired as a honey trap to catch a cheating partner to another going undercover in a high-stakes scheme, the stories are as wild as they are revealing. Some butlers confess to falling for clients they shouldn’t have, indulging in secret rendezvous, or forgetting to mention their side gig to their girlfriends. One butler shares the heart-pounding moment he hid under a bed in a mansion, overhearing secrets he wasn’t meant to know. Another, who escaped poverty through the job, grapples with whether the cost of his new life was worth it.
How long do these men keep their double lives from their partners? Do they even tell them? Hunter’s interviews reveal the delicate dance of secrecy and the emotional toll it takes. Yet, for many, the job is a lifeline—a way to break free from dreading Mondays and rediscover the spark of living. The book also explores the strange requests and embarrassing moments that come with the territory, from bizarre client demands to wardrobe malfunctions that leave everyone blushing.

More Than Muscles: A Deeper Craving
Beyond the titillation, After the Party uncovers a profound narrative about modern society’s hunger for connection, escape, and meaning. Buff butlers may serve with a smile, but their stories reflect universal desires: to feel alive, to belong, to reinvent oneself. The industry’s rise isn’t just about cheeky fun; it’s a response to a world craving secrecy, excitement, and human connection in an increasingly disconnected age.
Hunter writes with wit and heart, blending humor with raw honesty to create a book that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. His insider perspective and the survey’s surprising insights—such as the shift to full-time butlers and the industry’s evolution beyond hen parties—paint a vivid picture of a world few understand.
Why After the Party Matters

It challenges stereotypes about the adult entertainment industry while celebrating the men who dare to step into the spotlight, apron and all. For anyone curious about what really happens behind closed doors—or why this industry is capturing imaginations worldwide—this book is a must-read.

Reece Hunter
As a former buff butler, I thought I’d seen it all, but I was noticing a change in the buff butler industry and it was becoming big business, so I set out to know more about the men who offer their buff butler services; to understand how and why things are changing.
What better way than to ask buff butlers themselves because they’ll know what going on. Real buff butlers telling their stories. A huge response which has become this collection of stories intertwined with secrecy and confessions. Secrets and confessions that shocked and confirmed what I suspected with a few surprises and a big revelation.
