Sex work has been a contentious issue in a variety of ways
throughout history - socially, morally, ethically, religiously and
politically. Traditionally noted as one of the oldest professions
in the world, sex work has commonly been demonised and is often
viewed as a social disgrace. While sex work involves both providers
of sexual services, most commonly women, and purchasers of sexual
services, most commonly men, providers have attracted the most
social commentary. Recent research shows that a limited number of
studies have been conducted since 1990 concerning men who procure
sexual services. This book aims to help reset this balance. In this
book, Philip Birch examines the procurement of female sexual
services with a focus on the personal and social aspects of men who
procure such exchanges and offers insight into the demographics
amongst men who purchase sexual services, alongside an analysis of
the reasons why they purchase sex. This book brings together
existing literature with analyses of new data to develop a
multi-factor model reflecting men's procurement of sexual services
and demonstrates the complexities surrounding the procuration of
these sexual services in exchange for money. The book considers
what contribution the understanding of the personal and social
aspects of men who procure sexual services has on re-theorising the
purchasing of sex in the 21st Century and will be of interest to
academics and students involved in the study of criminology,
criminal justice, social policy, law, sociology, sexuality and
gender studies.
