Drawing on empirical data from women who pay for sexual services
and those who provide services to women, this ground-breaking study
is the first of its kind in the UK, detailing the experiences of
women who pay for sex in an explicit, direct, prearranged way.
Unlike previous research on clients, which has predominantly
focused on men who buy sex or women who engage in romance tourism
in places such as the Caribbean, this innovative research offers
new and original insights into the demand side of commercial sex.
Too often, it is assumed that only men pay for sex from women or
other men. Women are assumed to be service providers and are
unimaginable as clients. This book therefore offers a radical
departure from existing scholarship on commercial sex. In addition,
the book examines the experiences of couples who pay for commercial
sex, a client group that has received scant investigation. The book
explores women's reasons for their engagement in commercial sex
services, their backgrounds and characteristics, their strategies
for remaining safe and managing potential risks, as well as their
sexual health strategies. The nature of sexual service bookings
with women clients is also examined, exploring the types of
services women seek, the places where bookings occur and the fess
they pay. Finally, the experiences of men, women and trans sex
workers who provide sexual services to women are examined. By
drawing on our unique data and comparing it to the literature on
men clients, we present our theory 'Converging Sexualities'. We
argue that commercial sex is a site of behavioural convergence and
that women clients are behaving in ways that could be described as
masculine or feminine. Our study therefore offers new ways to
understand sexuality. This book will be of interest to researchers
in the field of sexuality, sex work and women's behaviour.
