Abstract: | The invisibility of men and boys in scholarly discussions of the global sex trade was analyzed through a sample of 166 recent
articles published in social science journals. Most failed to acknowledge the existence of male sex workers at all. When male
sex workers were discussed, they were assigned considerably more agency than female sex workers, the chief danger ascribed
to them was HIV rather than violence, and the question of their sexual orientation was always addressed, whereas female sex
workers were always assumed heterosexual. The results are discussed in the context of world system theory, Orientalism, and
heteronormativity. |
