Male Sex Work and Society edited By Victor Minichiello and John Scott
Published by Harington Park Press

The first comprehensive interdisciplinary volume devoted to male sex work.

Dean and Andrew speak to the co-editor of the much anticipated “Male Sex Work and Society” – an academic look at male sex workers around the globe. Is male sex work a social problem or a societal phenomenon? The book claims to help us re-think the history of sex itself… but does it?

Then Sydney male sex worker Cameron Cox joins the discussion and gives his thoughts on “Male Sex Work and Society”. He also talks about the legal differences between NSW and Victoria and where people who are considering going into the industry, can find important and trusted information and resources.
