ABSTRACT
SUMMARY. Contributors and editors were asked to respond to a series of questions concerning male sex work in order to stimulate an informal 278“conversation.” Some of the topics explored include: why people seek the services of prostitutes; is the term “sex work” favorable to “prostitution”; is it right to pay for sex; and is exploitation a necessary part of the sex worker/client interchange? Contributors’ responses were compiled and listed in the order they were received. Common elements of their responses are summarized and the advantages of this informal approach are articulated, doi: 10.1300/J082v53n01_12 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
