Conservative MP Mark Menzies has quit his post as a ministerial aide after newspapers reported allegations by a Brazilian male escort.
The MP for Fylde in Lancashire said a number of the claims were "untrue" and he would set the record straight.
He resigned as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to International Development Minister Alan Duncan after an investigation by the Sunday Mirror.
Mr Menzies said a number of the allegations were untrue.
In a statement he said: "I have decided to resign as a PPS tonight after a series of allegations were made against me in a Sunday newspaper.
"A number of these allegations are not true and I look forward to setting the record straight in due course."
Councillor Brenda Ackers, who chairs the Fylde Conservative Association, said: "Mark has the full support of his constituency party."
The Sunday Mirror reported a series of allegations about Mr Menzies' private life which it said had been made by the Brazilian man, including claims that the MP paid him for sex and asked him to buy an illegal drug.
The Conservative MP, 42, has been active in the party since he was 16 and later joined Marks and Spencer as a graduate trainee.
Before working for Mr Duncan he was PPS - an unsalaried role and not technically part of the government - to the housing and climate change ministers.
He studied economics and social history at Glasgow University, and was elected as an MP in 2010.
