All over the world, men as well as women exchange sex for money
and other forms of reward, sometimes with other men and sometimes
with women. In contrast to female prostitution, however, relatively
little is known about male sex work, leaving questions unanswered
about the individuals involved: their identities and
self-understandings, the practices concerned, and the contexts in
which they take place.
This book updates the ground-breaking 1998 volume of the same
name with an entirely new selection of chapters exploring health,
social, political, economic and human rights issues in relation to
men who sell sex. Looking at Europe, North America, Latin America
and the Caribbean, Africa and the Asia-Pacific, each chapter
explores questions such as:
- What is known among the different ways in which men exchange
sex for money or other forms of reward?
- What are the major contexts in which sexual exchange takes
place?
- What meanings do such practices carry for the different
partners involved?
- What are the health and other implications of contemporary
forms of male sex work?
"
Men Who Sell Sex" seeks to push the boundaries both of current
personal and social understandings and the practices to which these
give rise. It is an important reference work for academics and
researchers interested in sex work and men s health including those
working in public health, sociology, social work, anthropology,
human geography and development studies."
