A different kind of risky business
Drawing from qualitative interview data, this article examines men who manage men in the sex industry. A gendered lens reveals that male sex work management engages with sexual and gender scripts in ways that are quite distinct from female sex work. These third parties assume that male sex workers can defend their own security but notably also worry about male workers victimizing them, even as they opportunistically deploy hegemonic masculinity i…

It's a Puzzle You Have to Do Every Night
In Canada, like in many other countries, people working in the sex industry are subject to prohibitive regulation, stigma and pervasive moral judgement. At the same time, workplace and client demands, in concert with various modes of socio-economic marginalization, shape sex workers' experiences of and access to work. However, sex workers are seldom recognized for overcoming these challenges as skilled workers. Moving beyond arguments about wheth…
His Reputation Precedes Him
Narratives of dancers and managerial individuals working in strip clubs in Ontario, Canada, reveal that even within the sex industry the dominant image of the pimp—as an exploitative, racialized, underclass villain—informs the perception of certain men, characteristics, and relationships.

This article argues that in spite of the development of a labour discourse, a discourse moralizing stripping as prostit…
Cashing in on Cachet? Ethnicity and Gender in the Strip Club
Quelque part entre les pervers pépères, le culte de la culture populaire, les images sensationnalistes des médias et la politique canadienne en matière d'immigration, la danseuse nue roumaine est devenue une sorte d'archétype. Attrayante, sensuelle, avec son accent étranger excitant et sa peau blanche, elle est la parfaite danseuse exotique. Les danseuses nues représentent le genre, la sensualité ou la sexualité, l'émotion et souvent, l'ethnicité…
