被禁止的性行为与性暴力

卖淫: 男性卖淫: 同性卖淫

尽管妓男的类型划分有时候相互重叠，恰好与他们的女同行一样，仍可将他们划分成数类-从街头妓男、酒吧妓男（hustler，“皮条客”）到“应召男孩（call boy）”以及高级“陪同”。人口贩卖、皮条客和妓男院（male brothel）始终是生意清淡。大多数妓男独自经营，不过在一些国家，也存在“戈戈舞男（go-go boy）”、“餐台舞男（table dancer）”或“酒吧工作者”，他们与酒吧老板分享收入，并且特别有吸引力的男人会通过代理人招揽生意。

对于妓男来说，年轻英俊比任何别的东西更为重要，因而他们的“职业生涯”通常也比妓女要短许多。大多数年轻男子决不会想要长期从事“性工作”，只是在有限的时间内或特殊的情形下从事这种工作。因为这样的原因，他们也发现要完全脱身离开“生意场”，而且回到“平常的”生活，是比较容易做到的。例如，对于需要“零花钱”的青少年，或者对于以卖淫挣得生活费或学费的学生，可能就是如此。另一方面，离家出走的年轻人、失业者和无家可归的青年人常常不经意间就会陷入性交易行当，直到数年以后，他们不再被强求继续卖淫为止。妓男少有超过30岁的，大多数都是18-25岁的青年人。

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.
