Embrace Difference, Challenge Normativity
Research consistently shows that autistic people are more likely to identify outside of cisgender heterosexuality, highlighting the importance of supporting autistic people beyond neuronormative and heteronormative relationship imperatives. This paper explores autistic adults’ perspectives, using queer and neuroqueer theory, to examine how heteronormativity and neuronormativity operate together to constrain autistic people's intimate lives. It al…
A critical overview of how English health and social care publications represent autistic adults’ intimate lives
Autistic people face more social barriers to, and experience greater anxiety around, intimate relationships than the general population in our majority neurotypical society, leading to increased loneliness and social isolation. National health and social care policies and publications should recognise these inequalities and guide service systems in reducing them. In this paper, we employ a document analysis design to analyse a cross-section of En…
Institutional Ethics Challenges to Sex Work Researchers
Doing research in the field of sex work studies throws up challenges. Among these are the restrictions and regulatory issues placed on researchers by institutional ethical review processes. We draw on academic research and our personal experiences as two researchers who have been involved with many sex work research projects to illustrate how sex work researchers face a set of challenges relating to ethics - we define these as institutional ethic…
Reflecting on the interview as an erotic encounter
As researchers, our sexualities are always relevant to the research process. However, when woman researchers engage in research with men about their (hetero)sexual experiences, our positionality becomes more explicitly central. This article makes a methodological contribution to critical research into male sexualities by providing a reflexive analysis of cross-gender interviews conducted with 43 men about paying for sex. It employs an understandi…
Slums of hope
There’s Massive Pressure to Please Her”
This article presents a discursive analysis of 43 men's narratives about paying for sex, collected using a combination of online and traditional face-to-face interview methods. It argues that the societal pressures placed on men to "perform" sexually help to produce conditions that make paying for sex desirable. Paying for sex provided men with a "safe" space where they felt exempt from expectations to display sexual experience, skill, and stamin…
Queering the 'straight' line
This paper presents a qualitative analysis of interviews conducted with eight men who identified as clients of women sex workers, but who also spoke about paying to secretly explore their sexual desires for trans women and men. I draw on queer theory to approach the question of how, and to what extent, men’s paid sexual encounters functioned as sites where they could resist the constraints of compulsory heterosexuality and navigate more fluid sex…
Constructing the 'respectable' client and the 'good' researcher
Although illegal and highly stigmatised in South Africa, the buying and selling of sex on street corners, in brothels, in private domains or online is widespread. This reflexive methodological paper is the result of narrative interviews I conducted with 14 men who pay female sex workers for sex. It focuses on the complex cross-gender interview relationship that emerged when I, a feminist female researcher, interviewed men about their experiences …
Men’s constructions of masculinity and male sexuality through talk of buying sex
Commercial sex is an everyday occurrence across a range of contexts in South Africa. In this paper we turn our attention to the often-marginalised role of the buyers of sex by drawing on narrative interviews with male clients of female sex workers recruited through online advertisements in order to explore the ways in which heterosexual men construct, negotiate and perform their masculinity and sexuality through talking about their experiences of…
