Women Who Buy Sex: Converging Sexualities?: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Women Who Buy Sex: Converging Sexualities?" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Drawing on empirical data from women who pay for sexual services and those who provide services to women, this ground-breaking study is the first of its kind in the UK, detailing the experiences of women who pay for sex in an explicit, direct, prearranged way.

Unlike previous research on clients, which has predominantly focused on men who buy sex or women who engage in romance tourism in places such as the Caribbean, this innovative research offers new and original insights into the demand side of commercial sex. Too often, it is assumed that only men pay for sex from women or other men. Women are assumed to be service providers and are unimaginable as clients. This book therefore offers a radical departure from existing scholarship on commercial sex. In addition, the book examines the experiences of couples who pay for commercial sex, a client group that has received scant investigation. The book explores womens reasons for their engagement in commercial sex services, their backgrounds and characteristics, their strategies for remaining safe and managing potential risks, as well as their sexual health strategies. The nature of sexual service bookings with women clients is also examined, exploring the types of services women seek, the places where bookings occur and the fess they pay. Finally, the experiences of men, women and trans sex workers who provide sexual services to women are examined.

By drawing on our unique data and comparing it to the literature on men clients, we present our theory Converging Sexualities. We argue that commercial sex is a site of behavioural convergence and that women clients are behaving in ways that could be described as masculine or feminine. Our study therefore offers new ways to understand sexuality. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of sexuality, sex work and womens behaviour.

Women Who Buy Sex

Unlike previous research on clients, which has predominantly focused on men who buy sex or women who engage in romance tourism in places such as the Caribbean, this innovative research offers new and original insights into the demand side of commercial sex. Too often, it is assumed that only men pay for sex from women or other men. Women are assumed to be service providers and are unimaginable as clients. This book therefore offers a radical departure from existing scholarship on commercial sex. In addition, the book examines the experiences of couples who pay for commercial sex, a client group that has received scant investigation. The book explores womens reasons for their engagement in commercial sex services, their backgrounds and characteristics, their strategies for remaining safe and managing potential risks. The nature of sexual service bookings with women clients is also examined, exploring the types of services women seek, the places where bookings occur and the fees they pay. Finally, the experiences of men, women and trans sex workers who provide sexual services to women are examined.

Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale

Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale is a new and exciting series emphasising innovative work on the complexities of sex for sale, its practices, the policies designed to regulate it and their effects. It covers both recent and historical developments with an aim to explore multidisciplinary and international perspectives, expand theoretical approaches, and analyse matters which are the subject of controversy and debate in this field.

We welcome submissions of single and co-authored books, as well as edited collections that address sex for sale, its practices and regulation, including those with a focus on: comparative analysis; multi-scalar approaches; methodological perspectives; cultural and economic contexts; and the policies concerned with the regulation of sex for sale.

This series emerges from, and intends to expand the work of the European Concerted Research COST Action IS1209 Comparing European Prostitution Policies: Understanding Scales and Cultures of Governance (ProsPol), a European network funded under Horizon 2020 (www.prospol.eu).

Isabel Crowhurst is Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology at the University of Essex, UK, and coordinator (Chair) of ProsPol. Her research lies at the intersection of sociology, criminology, and critical social policy and centres on the regulation, social control, and lived experiences of commercial sex practices and of intimacy. She has researched and published on the regulation of commercial sex and of prostitution-related migrations of women in contemporary Europe. She has good editorial experience having co-edited four special issues of academic journals.

Rebecca Pates, Professor of Political Theory at Leipzig University, Germany, is (co-)director of a number of grants for research projects on the micro-political regulation of prostitution and trafficking funded by the EU and the German Research Council. These research projects combined grounded theory with discourse analysis. She works on theories of the state, political anthropology and theories of policing. Besides publications on the regulation of sex work in Germany, she has edited a volume on the social construction of German ethnicities and is currently working on a monograph on Policing in East Germany.

May-Len Skilbrei is Professor in Criminology at the University of Oslo, NO, and Vice Chair of Prospol. She works within the fields of criminology, gender studies and sociology of law, and does research on the formulation and implementation of legislation and welfare policies on prostitution nationally and regionally (the Nordic region) as well as on womens narratives of human trafficking. She has published broadly on prostitution and trafficking internationally. She is also an experienced editor, with four edited special issues to her name.
