This important new book, which focuses on the 1940s, 1950s and
1960s, but which looks back to the earlier decades of the century
and has a conclusion dealing with the 1970s to 1990s, maps the
world of those known as "trade" -- ostensibly straight men who
would engage in homosexual sex -- and hustlers -- those who were
paid for it. It was a milieu that was central to the sexual
histories of several generations of twentieth-century American men
and also influenced American literary and visual culture; the
"trade aesthetic" informed the work of a variety of artists,
filmmakers, and writers. This sexual culture, though compelling in
itself, also allows us to explore some key aspects of modern sexual
history. This pioneering work, which draws on a wide range of
visual and literary sources, including previously unpublished
material from the Kinsey archives, will appeal to a wide range of
readers, especially those interested in the histories of sex, the
city, masculinity, and American culture.
