• W2616403745 abstract "The majority of sex industry research focuses upon the female seller and the maleconsumer. When research strays from this blueprint to include men as sexual serviceproviders, it tends to be under the pretext of ‘homosexuality’; the client gender remainsstable – male. Furthermore, very little research in this area compares the experiences ofwomen and men working in the same sector of the sex industry (Weitzer, 2005b). Itherefore seek to address these issues by asking ‘what are the experiences of female andmale escorts (who work heteronormatively)?’ Using narrative research and storytelling,twenty in-depth interviews with escorts were conducted, from the perspective that sexwork is work. Analyses are divided into four areas: working practices; the role of power in theescort-client dyad; ‘stigma’, and lastly, interpersonal relationships. I suggest that the‘straight’ male escort market occupies a more ‘casual’ position in comparison to the‘professionalised’ female sector, and this is reflected in the struggles male escortsencounter trying to secure a steady income stream from escorting alone. I argue thatalthough women and men discuss similar escorting experiences, women benefit from thewell-established female market (with its associated ‘unwritten rules’ of standardpractice), whereas men are more likely to enact their work in non-standard and sometimesambiguous ways. Stigma, when discussed, is most often attached to the female body(hence the female sex worker), although I mount a more theoretical challenge toward theacademic tendency to assume the presence of stigma in sex workers’ lives. I then positionparticipants’ experiences within their broader networks of relationships, and offer thesuggestion that attitudes toward sex (not necessarily toward sex work) in society andinterpersonal relationships are instrumental in how escorting is negotiated relationally. Lastly, I locate my findings within the recent shift toward recognising women assexual consumers, set against a political backdrop of potential movement toward thedecriminalisation of sex work in England and Wales." @default.
