This groundbreaking collection of essays on the sex industry
contains original studies on sex work, its risks and benefits, and
its political implications. Sex for Sale covers areas not commonly
researched, including gay and lesbian pornography, telephone sex
workers, customers of prostitutes, male and female escorts who work
independently, street prostitution, sex tourism, legal
prostitution, and strip clubs that cater to women.
Sex for Sale also tracks various trends during the past decade,
including the mainstreaming and growing acceptance of some types of
sexual commerce and the growing criminalization of other types,
such as sex trafficking. Sex for Sale offers a window into the
lived experiences of sex workers as well as an analysis of the
larger gender arrangements and political structures that shape the
experiences of workers and their clients.
This book contributes greatly to a growing research literature
that documents the rich variation, nuances, and complexities in the
exchange of sexual services, performances, and products. This book
will change the way we understand sex work.
