Panoramic and provocative in its scope, this handbook is the
definitive guide to contemporary issues associated with male sex
work and a must read for those who study masculinities, male
sexuality, sexual health, and sexual cultures. This groundbreaking
volume will have a powerful impact on our understanding of this
challenging, elusive subject. While the internet has brought the
previously hidden worlds of male sex work more starkly into public
view, academic research has often remained locked into descriptions
of male sex workers and their clients as perverse. Drawing from a
variety of regions, the chapters provide insights into the
historical, popular cultural, social, and economic aspects of sex
work, as well as demographic patterns, health outcomes, and policy
issues. This approach shifts thought on male sex work from a hidden
"social problem" to a publicly acknowledged "social phenomenon."
The book challenges myths and reconceptualizes male sex work as a
discrete field. Importantly, it provides a vehicle for the voices
of male sex workers and new and established scholars. This richly
detailed, humane, and innovative collection retrieves male sex work
from silence and invisibility on the one hand and its association
with scandal and stigma on the other. The findings within have
profound implications for how governments approach public health
and regulation of the sex industry and for how society can make
sense of the complexities of human sexualities. A compelling
scholarly read and a major contribution to a commercial sector that
is often neglected in policy debates on sex work, this handbook
will be of great interest to scholars of criminology, sociology,
gender studies, and cultural studies and all those interested in
male sex work.
