ABSTRACT

This interpretive qualitative meta-synthesis (QMS) aims to systematically review what we know about identity construction of men who pay women for sex (MPWS). A corpus of 54 qualitative studies about the experiences and perceptions of MPWS was synthesized, using the theoretical framework of symbolic interaction and QMS guidelines. This synthesis yielded novel insights into the meanings that MPWS attribute to their involvement in the sex industry, within a range of interpersonal interactions and social discourses. We identified and expanded on six social discourses that affect the identity construction of MPWS: sexuality; intimacy; consumerism; power; deviancy and normativity; and masculinity. The findings demonstrate that paying for sex (and in particular, the stigma associated with it) permeates many life spheres of MPWS, and affects their gendered, sexual, cultural, intimate, consumerist and social identities, and self-perceptions. The discussion centers on four major understandings derived from the QMS: paying for sex is central to the lives of MPWS; paying for sex generates conflict in the identities of MPWS; discourses of masculinity are prominent in the identity construction processes of MPWS; and the literature on MPWS needs further social and cultural contextualization. These understandings have profound implications for sex-industry-related policy and social interventions.

为性付钱的男人的身份构建:一个定性的元综合

摘要

这种解释性的定性元综合 (QMS) 旨在系统地审查我们对男性为性付费 (MPWS) 的身份构建的了解。使用符号交互和 QMS 指南的理论框架,综合了 54 项关于 MPWS 经验和认知的定性研究的语料库。这种综合产生了对 MPWS 归因于他们在一系列人际交往和社会话语范围内参与性产业的意义的新见解。我们确定并扩展了影响 MPWS 身份建构的六种社会话语:性;亲密;消费主义;力量; 偏差和规范性;和男子气概。调查结果表明,为性付出代价(尤其是与之相关的耻辱)渗透到 MPWS 的许多生活领域,并影响他们的性别、性、文化、亲密、消费主义和社会身份以及自我认知。讨论集中在源自 QMS 的四个主要理解上:为性付费是 MPWS 生活的核心;为性付费会导致 MPWS 的身份冲突;男性气质的话语在 MPWS 的身份建构过程中很突出;并且关于 MPWS 的文献需要进一步的社会和文化背景化。这些理解对与性产业相关的政策和社会干预具有深远的影响。男性气质的话语在 MPWS 的身份建构过程中很突出;并且关于 MPWS 的文献需要进一步的社会和文化背景化。这些理解对与性产业相关的政策和社会干预具有深远的影响。男性气质的话语在 MPWS 的身份建构过程中很突出;并且关于 MPWS 的文献需要进一步的社会和文化背景化。这些理解对与性产业相关的政策和社会干预具有深远的影响。
