Abstract

Despite the issue that male sex work involves a substantial proportion of the market and is key to making clear the impact of gender in shaping male sex workers' experiences and their oftentimes fleeting relationship with male clients, work on sex work has largely focused on female sex workers to a far greater extent than their male counterparts. Subsequently, we know little of the social relations between male sex workers and their male clients. The interactional dynamics of sellers and clients in such settings are rarely considered. The author's focus, then, is exploring the social interactions between male sex workers and their male clients in particular. I seek to examine the ways in which such interactions could manifest in different settings and contexts within the area of male sex work. For example, I unravel the interactional dynamics in the setting of sexual violence against male sex workers.
