Is there male prostitution like it is for female?

Of course. Homosexual male prostitution seems more common (or maybe just more exposed) but women using the services of male sex workers is definitely a thing, too.

Yes and no. There are definitely male prostitutes, but their clients are largely and mostly men.
They do, but women tend to have more offers for free sex.

I do sometimes see prostitutes on my way to work and the like.
Most are women and the ones that aren't dress as though they are.

How do men look like? Any distinctive features for them in this regard? And are they looking for male of female customers?

The bulk is the way I can somewhat tell, broad shoulders and height and such.
I'm not sure as to the customers they are looking for but it seems likely that they are looking for male partners.

Hmm, seems like the customers are mainly men for both female and male prostitution. Don't women look for men in the same manner?
Of course they do. In the past they were called a Gigolo.
More often today they call themselves "escorts". and "service" career women who want entertainment and Sex with no ties or complications.
They might use a Euphemism like "Personal trainer" if seen out with one.

They look like every one else. women have different tastes, some like a bit of Rough others like a gentleman who will escort them for the evening out.
You will not notice them on the street, as they are booked through Escort agencies, and dress as you want them to.
That is of course the Expensive end of the trade.
I am sure women clubbers know how to hook up for free, if they are on the hunt.

Never seen street prostitutes in Finland in my life, except on TV.
It is somewhat more clandestine, less visible. I think it is also less common in the numerical sense, although it would not be too hard for me to be mistaken about that.
From a social acceptance standpoint, a woman has more to fear from employing male prostitutes - and, I suppose, the prostitute himself will be a bit more noticeable and hold a more clandestine life - than if the genders were reversed. But that is mainly out of social expectations and, frankly, different levels of acceptance and access. There is IMO no drammatical difference between men and women when it comes to how much need or willingness to use prostitution generally.
Also, at least here in Brazil women have a well-deserved reputation for being avid consumers of sexual toys of various kinds, far more so than men. I think it is fair to say that women value the quality and frequency of their sexual experiences somewhat more than men do, and at least some of them are quite upfront about it. That does not necessarily mean that they accept using prostitution - but then again, they probably do not feel much of a need. In my culture a woman is not likely to need to pay money if she feels need for sexual intercourse. Her main impediments will be secrecy and reputation, not money.

Yeah, it definitely exists. Depending on where you are in the US, there will be more or less of it, whereas female prostitution is more prevalent.
You mean visible?
Male prostitutes are certainly less visible than female ones. Not necessarily harder to find, but it takes more of an active effort to be aware of their existence.
