从事性工作可能对个人的性健康和整体福祉造成相当大的风险。虽然为性工作者量身定制的资源可以帮助减轻这种风险，但人们对男性性工作者对这些资源的兴趣知之甚少。从2018年到2020年，我们对180名从事性工作的美国男性进行了深入的电话采访，这些男性与客户在网上见面。我们询问了他们知道或使用过哪些与性工作相关的资源，他们想要的资源的具体内容，以及他们是否会使用这些资源。很少有参与者使用与性工作相关的资源，但许多人通过组织和在线媒体找到了与性工作相关的材料。虽然一些参与者表示有兴趣获得资源，以帮助他们更安全、更有利可图地从事性工作，但其他人则对帮助他们解决导致他们首先从事性工作的条件的资源感兴趣。与会者还讨论了资源利用的一些障碍，如低感知需求，隐私问题和材料的低可信度。结果表明，从事性工作的男子对与性工作有关的资源有很大的兴趣。然而，在开发这些资源时，计划应仔细考虑潜在的利用障碍。
Practicing sex work can present considerable risks to an individual’s sexual health and overall well-being. Though resources tailored for sex workers can help mitigate such risks, little is known about male sex workers’ interest in them. From 2018 to 2020, we conducted in-depth telephone interviews with 180 U.S. men who engaged in sex work with clients met online. We inquired about what sex work-related resources they were aware of or had used, the specific content of resources they would want, and whether they would use such resources or not. Few participants had used sex work-related resources, but many had found material related to sex work through organizations and online media. While some participants expressed interest in resources to help make their engagement in sex work safer and more profitable, others were interested in resources that would help them address the conditions that had led them to sex work in the first place. Participants also discussed some barriers to resource utilization such as low perceived need, privacy concerns, and low credibility of the material. Results show that there is substantial interest in sex work-related resources among men engaged in the practice. However, programs should carefully consider potential barriers to utilization when developing these resources.
