About this product
Product Information
Sex work has been a contentious issue in a variety of ways throughout history - socially, morally, ethically, religiously and politically. Traditionally noted as one of the oldest professions in the world, sex work has commonly been demonised and is often viewed as a social disgrace. While sex work involves both providers of sexual services, most commonly women, and purchasers of sexual services, most commonly men, providers have attracted the most social commentary. Recent research shows that a limited number of studies have been conducted since 1990 concerning men who procure sexual services. This book aims to help reset this balance. In this book, Philip Birch examines the procurement of female sexual services with a focus on the personal and social aspects of men who procure such exchanges and offers insight into the demographics amongst men who purchase sexual services, alongside an analysis of the reasons why they purchase sex. This book brings together existing literature with analyses of new data to develop a multi-factor model reflecting men's procurement of sexual services and demonstrates the complexities surrounding the procuration of these sexual services in exchange for money. The book considers what contribution the understanding of the personal and social aspects of men who procure sexual services has on re-theorising the purchasing of sex in the 21st Century and will be of interest to academics and students involved in the study of criminology, criminal justice, social policy, law, sociology, sexuality and gender studies.

Reviews
'Compared to the voluminous writings on female sex workers, much less is known about their clients. Filling this gap, Why Men Buy Sex is nothing short of groundbreaking. Birch's book is a comprehensive study of male clients in Australia - documenting their demographic background, the services they buy, the reasons why they buy sex, and how they feel about it. Using both survey questionnaires with a large number of clients, as well as in-depth interviews with a subsample of them, the book shows that they do not fit conventional stereotypes, that they have a wide variety of motives and experiences, and that many of them develop long-term relationships with the women they encounter.'- Ronald Weitzer, Professor of Sociology, George Washington University, USA 'Providing more much-needed detailed analysis about men who purchase sex from women, this book offers a contemporary overview of the existing literature, as well as showcasing a significant mixed method study on men who procure sex in New South Wales. Offering new ways of theorising motivations through quantitative modelling, in the context of creeping criminalisation, this volume provides an important contribution to knowledge and debate on this subject.' - Teela Sanders, Reader in Sociology, School of Sociology & Social Policy, University of Leeds, UK, 'Compared to the voluminous writings on female sex workers, much less is known about their clients.

The item I ordered came early. However, it wasn’t shipped in very sturdy packaging, and arrived with a few very minor dents and scratches.. I bought a book, and the cover was actually different than advertised. I’m not thrilled with the experience, but it most definitely could have been worse. That’s why I’m leaving a neutral review..
