本文探讨了南非德班一个城镇中为物质利益而进行的性交换的含义和理解。这种分析反对一种倾向，即认为一切形式的性交换都是为了生存，而不是为了消费。本文还认为，性交换是本研究中女性追求主要由媒体和全球化创造的形象和理想的手段。据透露，许多人认为交易性行为是“正常的”。妇女不愿意接受男子的多个伴侣，并将自己置于感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的风险之中（尽管她们了解这一流行病）。最后，本文强调了妇女的权力和机构，妇女主张自己，以利用性关系的利益，新的“需要”的现代商品。
This paper explores meanings and understandings of sexual exchange for material gain in an urban township of Durban, South Africa. The analysis argues against the tendency to assume too readily that all forms of sexual exchange are oriented towards subsistence, and not consumption. This paper also argues that sexual exchange is the means used by women in this study to pursue images and ideals largely created by the media and globalisation. It is revealed that transactional sex is perceived as 'normal' leading many. women to accept men's multiple partners and to put themselves as risk of contracting HIV/AIDS (despite having knowledge of the pandemic). Finally, the paper highlights women's power and agency whereby women are asserting themselves in order to exploit sexual relationships in the interests of new 'needs'- the commodities of modernity.
