Based on a qualitative investigation of the practices involved in male-with-male-or m4m-Internet escorting, Touching Encounters is the first book to explicitly address how masculinity and sexuality shape male commercial sex in this era of Internet communications. By looking closely at the sex and work of male escorts, Kevin Walby tries to reconcile the two extremes of m4m sex-the stereotypical idea of a quick cash transaction and the tendency toward friendship and mutuality. In doing so, Walby draws on the work of Foucault to make visible the play of power in these physical and commercial relations between men. At once a revelation to the sociology of work and a much-needed critical engagement with queer theory, Touching Encounters responds to calls from across the social sciences to connect Foucault with sociologies of sex, sexuality, and intimacy. Walby does this and more, retying this sexual practice back to society at large"--Provided by publisher. 000471327 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000471327 650_0 $$aMale prostitutes. 000471327 650_0 $$aProstitutes' customers. 000471327 650_0 $$aMale prostitution$$xPsychological aspects. 000471327 650_0 $$aEscort services. 000471327 650_0 $$aQueer theory. 000471327 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWalby, Kevin, 1981-$$tTouching encounters.$$dChicago : University of Chicago Press, 2012, ©2012$$z9780226870052$$w(DLC) 2012005114$$w(OCoLC)778244947 000471327 852__ $$bacq 000471327 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000471327 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=478952$$zOnline Access 000471327 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:471327$$pGLOBAL_SET 000471327 980__ $$aEBOOK 000471327 980__ $$aBIB 000471327 982__ $$aEbook 000471327 983__ $$aOnline 000471327 994__ $$a92$$bISE
