Teela Sanders - Paying for Pleasure : Men Who Buy Sex book DOC, TXT
9781843923213 English 1843923211 Drawing on original empirical data from men who buy sex, this book takes a fresh look at the relationships clients have with female sex workers - unlike much earlier research in this area which has viewed the sex industry from the position of the female sex worker. In doing so it dispels many of the myths that exist about the nature of the relationship between sex worker and client, raising many questions about the nature of human sexuality. The core questions that form the backbone of the research are not only the expected inquiry into 'why men buy sex', but also into the sociological and psychological processes that men encounter in order to enter an assumed 'deviant' sexual behaviour as part of their everyday lives. These sociological processes of finding, negotiating and buying sexual services are complicated by the stigma directed towards men who buy sex. Exactly how do men behave with sex workers; what are their relationships like; what emotions are involved and can intimacy be bought? Recent online virtual relationships that have established a sex work community identify a growing group of men who communicate and create networks through the sex industry. Their experiences of entering a semi-legal activity are influenced by the increasing criminalisation of the 'kerb-crawler' and a message from government that buying sex is morally deplorable. Questioning the dichotomy made between commercial and non-commercial relationships, this book suggests that intimacy and commerce are compatible. Managing secrecy, stigma and the consumption of intimacy takes this book into some of the more challenging theoretical areas of masculinity and emotional consumption in contemporary society. Finally, drawing some parallels from the author's earlier book Sex Work: a risky business, the book offers insights into why engagement in commercial sex is prolific as sexual culture is transformed in late modernity.

Drawing some parallels from the author's earlier book Sex Work: A Risky Business, the book offers insights into why engagement in commercial sex is prolific as sexual culture is transformed in late modernity., Latter-Day War instructs us how to put on the armor of God to stay protected-while fighting with bare knuckles-pulling no punches in our stand against the forces of evil. Latter-Day War exposes the adversary's strategies and tools to deceive, enslave, and destroy God's children. It also teaches about keys for obtaining God's power and support in our lives, how to endure through the last battle, and finally, what the final outcome and rewards will be for the faithful.
