互联网和智能手机等互联网设备的技术进步，以及用户可以使用的约会和勾搭网站和应用程序，从根本上改变了性工作的性质、组织和实践。一些学者认为，这些变化促成了男性交换性行为的正常化（即，提供性行为以换取金钱、毒品、住所或商品），这样做减少了历史上与之相关的耻辱。然而，很少有实证研究关注男性性工作者（MSWs），包括那些从事非正式或偶然或随意性工作的人，他们主要使用非商业性的约会/勾搭网站和应用程序来满足客户的体验和管理耻辱。为了填补这一空白，我们分析了180名msw的访谈数据，这些msw从事交换性行为，并在约会/勾搭网站和应用程序上认识他们的客户。大多数参与者认为性工作在整个社会中仍然是高度耻辱的，但许多人也认为它在同性恋群体中是被普遍接受的——如果不是完全正常化的话。尽管如此，许多人仍在与污名化行为带来的情感影响作斗争，大多数人采用了以下一种或多种污名化管理策略：信息管理、保持距离、诋毁诋毁者、声称没有其他选择，以及挑战或重新构建刻板印象和叙述。这些发现表明msw，即使是那些从事非正式或偶然性工作的msw，他们在约会/勾搭网站和应用程序上与客户见面，仍然受到与性工作有关的耻辱的强烈影响，并试图通过各种方式来管理它。未来的研究应该调查性工作者群体中内化污名的来源。
Technological advances like the Internet and Internet-enabled devices, such as smartphones, and the dating and hookup websites and apps available to the users of them, have transformed the nature, organization, and practice of sex work in fundamental ways. Some scholars have argued that these changes have contributed to a normalization of male exchange sex (i.e., providing sex in exchange for money, drugs, shelter, or goods), and in so doing, have diminished the stigma historically associated with it. However, little empirical research has focused on how male sex workers (MSWs), including those engaged in what might be called informal or incidental or casual sex work and primarily use dating/hookup websites and apps not designed for commercial to meet clients experience and manage stigma. To help fill this gap, we analyzed interview data from 180 MSWs who engaged in exchange sex and met their client on dating/hookup websites and apps. Most participants felt that sex work was still highly stigmatized in society at large, but many also felt it was generally accepted—if not completely normalized—within the gay community. Nevertheless, many struggled with the emotional impact of engaging in a stigmatized practice and most employed one or more of the following stigma management strategies: information management, distancing, discrediting the discreditors, asserting no other option existed, and challenging or reframing stereotypes and narratives. These findings indicate that MSWs, even those engaged in informal or incidental sex work, who meet clients on dating/hookup websites and apps are still strongly affected by sex work-related stigma and seek to manage it in various ways. Future research should investigate the sources of internalized stigma among this under-studied population of sex workers.
