Description

This new collection explores for the first time male sex work from a rich array of perspectives and disciplines. It aims to help enrich the ways in which we view both male sex work as a field of commerce and male sex worker themselves.

Leading contributors examine the field both historically andcross-culturally from fields including public health, sociology, psychology, social services, history, filmography, economics, mental health, criminal justice, geography, and migration studies, and more.

Synthesizing introductions by the editors help the reader understand the implications of the findings and conclusions for scholars, practitioners, students, and members of the interested/concerned public.

Advance Praise

“This is literally the definitive guide to contemporary issues in the study of male sex workers. It is a pleasure to read, and a must for those who study male sexual health and sexuality. Particularly strong is the inclusion of multidisciplinary perspectives, an international focus, contributions by leading experts in the field, and the broad- based consideration of historical, structural, technological, and organizational factors.

The book delves deeply into the lives of male sex workers, making it clear that their career choices involve benefits and pleasure, rather than problems and risk exclusively. For the first time, the research is presented in a neutral manner, resisting the typical approach of pathologizing men who participate in commercial sex.”

—DR. JEFFREY T. PARSONS, Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, and Director, Center for HIV/AIDS Educational Studies and Training, Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York; Editor-in-Chief, Sexuality Research and Social Policy
