Drawing on original empirical data with men who buy sex, this book
takes a fresh look at the relationships clients have with female
sex workers. The core questions that form the backbone of the
research are not only the expected inquiry into 'why men buy sex',
but also into the sociological and psychological processes that men
encounter in order to enter an assumed 'deviant' sexual behaviour
as part of their everyday lives. These sociological processes of
finding, negotiating and buying sexual services are complicated by
the stigma directed towards men who buy sex. Exactly how do men
behave with sex workers; what are their relationships like; what
emotions are involved and can intimacy be bought? Questioning the
dichotomy made between commercial and non-commercial relationships,
the data suggests that intimacy and commerce are compatible.
Managing secrecy, stigma and the consumption of intimacy takes this
book into some of the more challenging theoretical areas of
masculinity and emotional consumption in contemporary society.
Drawing some parallels from the author's earlier book Sex Work: A
Risky Business, the book offers insights into why engagement in
commercial sex is prolific as sexual culture is transformed in late
modernity.
