被禁止的性行為與性暴力

賣淫: 男性賣淫: 同性賣淫

儘管妓男的類型劃分有時候相互重疊，恰好與他們的女同行一樣，仍可將他們劃分成數類-從街頭妓男、酒吧妓男（hustler，“皮條客”）到“應召男孩（call boy）”以及高級“陪同”。人口販賣、皮條客和妓男院（male brothel）始終是生意清淡。大多數妓男獨自經營，不過在一些國家，也存在“戈戈舞男（go-go boy）”、“餐台舞男（table dancer）”或“酒吧工作者”，他們與酒吧老闆分享收入，並且特別有吸引力的男人會通過代理人招攬生意。

對於妓男來說，年輕英俊比任何別的東西更為重要，因而他們的“職業生涯”通常也比妓女要短許多。大多數年輕男子決不會想要長期從事“性工作”，只是在有限的時間內或特殊的情形下從事這種工作。因為這樣的原因，他們也發現要完全脫身離開“生意場”，而且回到“平常的”生活，是比較容易做到的。例如，對於需要“零花錢”的青少年，或者對於以賣淫掙得生活費或學費的學生，可能就是如此。另一方面，離家出走的年輕人、失業者和無家可歸的青年人常常不經意間就會陷入性交易行當，直到數年以後，他們不再被強求繼續賣淫為止。妓男少有超過30歲的，大多數都是18-25歲的青年人。

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Prostitution: Male Prostitution: Homosexual Prostitution

Just as their female colleagues, male prostitutes can be divided into several categories - from street and bar prostitutes (“hustlers”) to “call boys” and high-class “escorts”, although the boundaries are sometimes fluid. Trafficking, pimps and male brothels have always been rare in this business. Most male prostitutes work independently, but in some countries there are also “go-go boys”, “table dancers”, or “bar workers” who share their income with the bar owners, and some especially attractive men work with agencies.
For male prostitutes, youth and good looks are more important than anything else, and thus their “careers” are usually also much shorter than that of female prostitutes. In most cases, the young males never intend to engage in “sex work” for a longer period of time, but do so only for limited periods or or in specific situations. For this reason, they also find it easier to leave the whole “scene” behind and return to a “regular” life. This may be true, for example, for adolescents who need “pocket money”, or for students who earn their living or their tuition with prostitution. On the other hand, young runaways and jobless or homeless young men often find themselves trapped in the world of commercial sex, until after a few years, they are no longer in demand. Very few male prostitutes are older than 30; most of them are between 18 and 25.
