Title: Unholy Nexus: Male Child Sexual Exploitation in Pilgrim Tourism Sites in India: Andrhra Pradesh, Kerala and Orissa Summary: Public Opinion is on the rise about child sexual exploitation by tourists in India. But, little has been done to study and protect male children from prostitution. This research conducted in 2008, investigates the extent and nature of child sexual exploitation in the pilgrim tourist sites - Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh), Puri (Orissa) and Guruvayoor (Kerala). The study identifies key actors who are involved in and/or facilitate prostitution of male children. The study documents the causes, circumstances, locations and profile of these children and the context in which such sexual exploitation continues unchecked. While the research focuses on the male child, many of the findings and recommendations are equally applicable to female children in similar context.

Author: Boyce, Paul Title: An Exploratory Study of the Social Contexts, Practices and Risks of Men Who Sell Sex in Southern and Eastern Africa Summary: The aim of the research presented in this report was to explore the social contexts, life experiences, vulnerabilities and sexual risks experienced by men who sell sex in Southern and Eastern Africa, with a focus on five countries; Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe (an in particular with research activities in the Kenya and Namibia). As well as seeking to better understand differing and similar socio-cultural scenarios and personal life stories of male sex workers in these countries a key and specific aim was to improve terms for representation of male sex workers in relevant regional organizations, particular within the African Sex Workers Alliance (ASWA)2 – members of which participated in and supported this research process. The findings of this research reaffirm the need for specific male sex worker representation within ASWA as well as the need for specific social support, health education and HIV prevention programmes for male sex workers in the region more widely. Additionally, the needs of transgendered sex workers were also highlighted by the research process. These are not specifically developed in this report, as findings from this aspect of the research are currently being analyzed and developed in association with relevant collaborating organizations. Nonetheless a critical outcome of the research overall was to stress the need for renewed efforts to respect and develop gender sensitivity in health, social welfare and HIV prevention services for sex workers throughout the region and to include and consult with transgender people in such processes.

Author: Savvidas, Dimitris Title: Male Prostitution and the Homoerotic Sex-market in Early Modern England Summary: This thesis explores male prostitution in early modern culture and calls for a reconsideration of linguistic representations of sodomy and homoeroticism in literary and historical criticism. It argues that as a variant expression of homoeroticism, its examination unfolds significant ideological and cultural implications for established perceptions of male relations. As instructed by classical textuality and misogynistic stigmatization of prostitution, the boy prostitute becomes a relational category that eludes easy classification, emerging syntactically alongside the female whore in English culture. Adopting a social constructionist approach, this dissertation traces male prostitution's ambivalent representational properties in various genres and discourses, namely poetry, plays, historical narratives, theatre historiography, defamation accounts, philosophical diatribes and lexicography. The diverse vocabulary employed to describe homoerotic relations and identities is closely scrutinised in order to expose the metaphoricity and ambiguity embedded in such terms as 'Ganymede', 'ingle', 'mignon' and 'catamite'. An analysis of the terminology demonstrates the ways in which discursive systems of language, within specific historical and cultural contexts, have facilitated the concomitant textual emergence of the sodomite with the male prostitute. The Introduction establishes the theoretical framework through which male prostitution from the medieval period until the mid-twentieth century has been discussed in twentieth-century criticism. Chapter One assesses its textual appearance in early modern Italy, France and Spain, while it sets the parameters for its examination in seventeenth-century England. Chapter Two analyses the representation of the male prostitute in Donne's, Marston's and Middleton's satires and Chapter Three examines the theatrical institution and the ways in which theatre historiography misdirects discussions on sodomy and prostitution. The penultimate chapter focuses on textual constructions of the male prostitute in educational contexts and the final chapter addresses possible interrelations between prostitution, servitude, favouritism and friendship as represented within lexicography, slanderous discourse and historical narratives on King James and Francis Bacon.

Author: Nicholls, Carol McNaughton Title: Research on the sexual exploitation of boys and young men: A UK scoping study summary of findings Summary: Despite growing interest in the UK and internationally in child sexual exploitation (CSE), policy-makers, practitioners, researchers and the media have tended to focus primarily on female victims. Consequently, the sexual exploitation of young males has been largely overlooked: remarkably little is known about this group, their experiences, vulnerabilities or support needs. The purpose of this document is to provide a brief synthesis of key findings from recent exploratory research on the sexual exploitation of young males in the UK. This multi-method study incorporated three complementary strands, together addressing four overarching research objectives: 1. To identify characteristics of known and suspected CSE cases involving male victims and to compare these, where possible, with those of cases involving female victims 2. To explore professionals' views on perpetration and victimisation processes in cases of male-victim CSE 3. To assess male victims' perceived support needs and the nature of existing service provision 4. To help inform future research, policy and practice. While this research represents an important contribution to the limited knowledge base on male-victim CSE, it remains an early exploration of a complex issue. Consequently, the recommendations made are necessarily tentative. These suggestions relate primarily to: n ways in which practitioners might better identify and respond to male CSE victims n future research priorities and how these might be addressed.

Author: Cockbain, Ella Title: Not just a girl thing: A large-scale comparison of male and female users of child sexual exploitation services in the UK Summary: This report covers the findings from one part of a wider collaborative research programme called "Sexual exploitation of boys and young men: A UK scoping study". This exploratory research was funded by the Nuffield Foundation and conducted by UCL (University College London), the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and Barnardo's. The programme had three complementary components: - A rapid evidence assessment of the international knowledge base on sexual abuse (including exploitation) of boys and young men (Brayley et al, 2014) - A large-scale comparative analysis of male and female child sexual exploitation (CSE) service users (the current report) - In-depth interviews with UK practitioners about their experiences and perceptions of the sexual exploitation of boys and young men (McNaughton Nicholls et al, 2014). In conducting the comparative analysis, our particular aims were: - to assess systematically the commonalities and differences between the characteristics of male and female CSE service users and, in doing so, - to inform future research, policy and practice. Given the general lack of prior research on this topic, we designed the research questions to be broad-based and inclusive. The two interlinked research questions were: 1. What are the characteristics of cases of male CSE service users? 2. How do these compare with the characteristics of cases of female CSE service users? Although gender is a broader construct than a male versus female dichotomy, data limitations meant we were unable to extend the study to incorporate transgender children. The term "characteristics of [CSE] cases" was deliberately broad and designed to capture various attributes related to individual children, exploitation process and official responses. We deliberately use the term "service users" rather than "victims" because the sample featured a diverse set of children supported by Barnardo's due to their involvement in CSE or risk of such involvement. "Involvement" is a broad term that covers high risk of victimisation, actual victimisation and perpetration processes (e.g. peer-on-peer exploitation). A key limitation of the study data was that it was not possible to establish to which of these categories a given child belonged, nor to assess the proportion of the overall sample who were at risk versus already involved (let alone whether they were involved/at risk of involvement in victimisation and/or perpetration processes). Consequently, the common factor uniting all members of the sample is that all can be described as "children affected by CSE" an inclusive term that is used elsewhere in this report.

Author: McIntyre, Susan Title: Under the Radar: The Sexual Exploitation of Young Men - Saskatchewan Edition. Summary: In December of 2002, Strolling Away was released. Strolling Away represented a longitudinal retrospective study that examined young people from the sexual exploitation trade in 1991-1992 and then again in 2001-2002. The opportunity to interview individuals 10 years later was valuable. One of its major findings was that we know very little about young men involved in the sexual exploitation trade. The young men I interviewed commented on how my questions were "chick questions". It was clear that we have traditionally looked at this issue through a female lens. It became evident through this study that more research was required in order to understand young men in the sexual exploitation trade. Interviews for Under the Radar: The Sexual Exploitation of Young Men - Saskatchewan Edition began in April 2006 and wrapped up in December 2006. Forty young men were interviewed in total. Twenty interviews occurred in Regina and 20 in Saskatoon. A total of 10 of the 40 interviewed had exited the sexual exploitation trade. Characteristics of Respondents - 85% of this population are Aboriginal - 62% had involvement with child welfare services - 28% completed high school - 78% had a history of running away - 75% had a history prior to the street of being sexually violated - 80% had been physically violated and witnessed aggression while growing up - 83% entered the sexual exploitation trade under the age of 18 years of age - 10% entered the sexual exploitation trade over the age of 20 years of age - Males enter the sexual exploitation trade younger and stay longer than young women - 30% experienced staying in shelters - Almost everyone felt no one should do this type of work - The fear of gay-bashing exists - Drug use is extensive - Exiting the sexual exploitation trade is a long process, usually attempted more than once - Almost everyone has in the past, and continues to access HIV / STD testing Summary of Discoveries - Young men have comparable histories of sexual and physical abuse to young women - Young men in this study were gay, heterosexual and bisexual - Young men create a construct to achieve a level of performance - The issue of young men, as opposed to women in the sexual exploitation trade creates a sense of discomfort - Young men begin younger and work longer - A significant portion enter the sexual exploitation trade over the age of 18 - Young men fly under the radar of service providers - Young men have unique service needs different from young women - Public education on condom use and HIV testing has worked - The connection between the street and drug use is longer and greater in the variety of drugs for young men - Young men have strained and distant relationships with their family - Running away often triggers entrance into the sexual exploitation trade Details: Calgary, Alberta: The Hindsight Group, 2008. 129p.
