An interdisciplinary study of the male sex industry The male sex
industry receives far less attention from social scientists than
its female counterpart. Male Sex Work: A Business Doing Pleasure
fills this gap in the literature, providing a multifaceted and
nonjudgmental examination of the entire male sex industry.
Expanding beyond the single category of street-based prostitute,
the book encompasses other areas, such as stripping, performing in
pornography, and escorting for an agency or on the Internet.
Leading experts in wide-ranging disciplines employ methodological
tools such as naturalistic observation, surveys, and personal
interviews to provide an important interdisciplinary exploration of
the topic. Rather than concentrate specifically on psychological
profiles of sex workers, Male Sex Work: A Business Doing Pleasure
focuses on the less studied aspects of the industry, such as the
relational dynamics of street prostitutes, the personal experiences
of racism in a gay strip club, and others. Employing researchers
from disciplines such as anthropology, English, psychology, and
sociology, this unique resource provides a revealing look at what
really goes on in the clubs, on the streets, on the Internet, and
behind the scenes of the gay porn industry. The book includes
extensive references. Areas studied in Male Sex Work: A Business
Doing Pleasure include: interpersonal relationships among male
street prostitutes gay sex tourism strippers and the performance of
sexuality the environmental context of male street prostitution
racism and the male sex industry escorts and professional
self-identity performers in pornography and the retrogressive
dynamic the personal and community needs of Internet escorts the
fluidity of power dynamics between stripper and customer Male Sex
Work: A Business Doing Pleasure is an insightful resource valuable
for educators and students in psychology, sociology, social work,
men's studies, sexology, anthropology, and gay and lesbian studies.
