南非决策者正在审查有关卖淫的立法,担心将卖淫定为犯罪会妨碍艾滋病毒的预防。他们试图了解性交易、卖淫和所涉男子的性质之间的关系。1645名随机选择的南非成年男子参加了一项家庭研究,披露他们是否与卖淫妇女发生性关系或有提供者关系(或性),参与犯罪和暴力,并完成心理测量。这些成为多变量回归模型的结果,其中前者是暴露变量。51%的男性有提供者关系,并期望性作为回报,3%的男性与卖淫女性发生性关系,15%的男性两者都有,31%的男性两者都没有。提供者角色的男人,以及那些刚刚与卖淫妇女发生性关系的人,在社会上保守且相当暴力。然而,两者都做过的男性(75%的人与卖淫女性发生性关系)明显更厌恶女性,在精神病维度上得分很高,对女性的性暴力和身体暴力更多,并且广泛参与犯罪。他们在学校经常被欺负,这表明这种工具性的、自我追求的男子气概在童年时期就很明显。没有从事性交易的男性表现出更少的暴力,更多的守法和性别平等的男子气概;挑战关于年龄,贫困,犯罪和厌女症交叉不可避免的假设。提供者角色关系(或性)对低收入男性来说是正常的,但不与卖淫妇女发生性关系。从事后一种行为的男子广泛地在法律之外活动,他们的暴力行为对妇女构成重大威胁。在南非,那些起草关于性产业的立法和政策的人需要区分这两个群体,以避免将正常人定为犯罪,并考虑采取措施保护妇女。
South African policy makers are reviewing legislation of prostitution, concerned that criminalisation hampers HIV prevention. They seek to understand the relationship between transactional sex, prostitution, and the nature of the involved men. 1645 randomly-selected adult South African men participated in a household study, disclosing whether they had sex with a woman in prostitution or had had a provider relationship (or sex), participation in crime and violence and completing psychological measures. These became outcomes in multivariable regression models, where the former were exposure variables. 51% of men had had a provider relationship and expected sex in return, 3% had had sex with a woman in prostitution, 15% men had done both of these and 31% neither. Provider role men, and those who had just had sex with a woman in prostitution, were socially conservative and quite violent. Yet the men who had done both (75% of those having sex with a woman in prostitution) were significantly more misogynist, highly scoring on dimensions of psychopathy, more sexually and physically violent to women, and extensively engaged in crime. They had often bullied at school, suggesting that this instrumental, self-seeking masculinity was manifest in childhood. The men who had not engaged in sex for economic exchange expressed a much less violent, more law abiding and gender equitable masculinity; challenging assumptions about the inevitability of intersections of age, poverty, crime and misogyny. Provider role relationships (or sex) are normative for low income men, but not having sex with a woman in prostitution. Men who do the latter operate extensively outside the law and their violence poses a substantial threat to women. Those drafting legislation and policy on the sex industry in South Africa need to distinguish between these two groups to avoid criminalising the normal, and consider measures to protect women.
