Abstract

This work aimed to produce a book on the communities of gay men, male escorts or men who have sex with men (MSM) and how they relate to money, sex and affective relationships. Moreover, the observation of new aspects of male prostitution with the use of digital media, in where platforms for the consumption of adult content are available in exchange for a monthly fee, are also included. Other practices, observed and reported, involve sexual experiences and paraphilias, required or not by customers. With this, we start where the very concepts of Journalism-Literature originate, from the Foucauldian discourse theories and from self-creation. Consequently, semi-structured interviews, in-depth interviews and on-site investigations were carried out in environments in where both the supply and the demand for sex were present. To protect all participants, we opted for the use of fictitious illustrations and withheld real names in most textual productions.
