相当一部分男男性行为者会进行性行为——即交换性行为。以性换取金钱、毒品、住所或其他物质商品的交易。尽管男性性工作者面临身体暴力和性暴力、威胁行为和抢劫的风险，但人们对他们遭受客户此类行为的经历知之甚少。为了更深入地了解男性性工作者的人际暴力经历，我们分析了来自美国 8 个城市的 180 名男男性行为者的定性访谈数据，这些男性主要通过约会/联播网站和应用程序与客户进行性工作。参与者讨论了他们对客户的一系列不当行为的经历，包括身体暴力、性暴力、威胁和抢劫。医疗保健和社会服务提供者可以在预防男性性工作者的暴力方面发挥重要作用。性工作非刑事化还可以通过便利性工作者报告所遭受的伤害来潜在地减少许多性工作者面临的风险。
A notable portion of men who have sex with men engage in exchange sex—i.e. the trading of sex for money, drugs, shelter or other material goods. Despite the risks for physical and sexual violence, threatening behaviour and robbery that male sex workers confront, very little is known about their experiences of such actions by clients. To gain more insight into male sex workers’ experiences of interpersonal violence, we analysed qualitative interview data from 180 men who have sex with men from 8 US cities who engaged in sex work with clients they had met primarily through dating/hookup websites and apps. Participants discussed their experiences of a range of untoward behaviours by clients including physical violence, sexual violence, threats and robbery. Healthcare and social services providers can play a significant role in violence prevention among male sex workers. The decriminalisation of sex work could also potentially reduce the risks many sex workers face by facilitating their reporting of harms suffered.
