This article is based on a study exploring how men who purchase sex in Sweden experience and navigate risk. The focus is on individual assessments of risk in relation to experiences of crime, exploitation and stigma. Based on interviews with 30 Swedish men who purchase sex, an inductive thematic analysis has been applied. The participating men had different strategies to avoid crime and exploitation and they navigated in relation to stigma when purchasing sex. Their risk assessments and conceptualizations of purchasing sex were based on own experiences and on the normative discourse on commercial sex in Sweden. Their fields of action were structured through discipline, governing and responsibilization, and they tried to distance themselves from being defined as ‘sex buyers’ and to purchase sex in ‘good’ ways.

在瑞典购买性服务——有风险的生意

本文基于一项研究，探讨在瑞典购买性服务的男性如何体验和应对风险。重点是对与犯罪、剥削和污名化经历相关的风险进行个人评估。基于对 30 名购买性行为的瑞典男性的采访，应用了归纳主题分析。参与的男性有不同的策略来避免犯罪和剥削，他们在购买性服务时会避开污名。他们对购买性行为的风险评估和概念化是基于自己的经验和瑞典关于商业性行为的规范话语。他们的行动领域是通过纪律、管理和责任来构建的，他们试图与被定义为“性购买者”保持距离，并以“良好”的方式购买性服务。
