Produktbeschreibung

It discusses some core questions and the sociological and psychological processes that men encounter in order to enter an assumed 'deviant' sexual behaviour as part of their lives.

This book offers insights into why engagement in commercial sex is prolific as sexual culture is transformed in late modernity. Drawing on original empirical data with men who buy sex, the book explores not only 'why men buy sex', but also the sociological and psychological processes that men encounter in order to enter an assumed 'deviant' sexual behaviour as part of their everyday lives.
