| dc.description.abstract | This article is focused on the study conducted on prostitution customers in Spain with the purpose of understanding why men pay for sex. In order to answer this question, the discourses of prostitution customers were analyzed through semistructured in-depth interviews, group interviews and discussion groups. With the aim of coherently structuring the obtained narrations and classifying them in categories, the theoretical framework “frame analysis” was implemented. Four typologies of ideal customers were obtained: the misogynistic (hatred for women); consumerist (everything can be bought and sold); friend (affective though abusive); and critical (occasional and repentant). As far as we are concerned, the purchase of sex is not produced by the search for quality sex, fun and hedonistic enjoyment, but rather for a strategy to reinforce masculinity based on an identity focused on exhibition in front of a group of peers. | gl |
| dc.description.abstract | Este artículo se centra en el estudio llevado a cabo entre los clientes de prostitución en España con el fin de comprender por qué los hombres pagan por sexo. Para responder a esta pregunta, se analizaron los discursos de los clientes de prostitución a través de entrevistas en profundidad semidirigidas, entrevistas grupales y grupos de discusión. Con el objetivo de estructurar coherentemente los relatos obtenidos y clasificarlos en categorías, se puso en práctica el marco teórico “frame analysis”. Se obtuvieron cuatro tipologías de clientes ideales: misógino (odio a las mujeres); consumista (todo puede ser comprado y vendido); amigo (afectivo aunque abusa); y crítico (ocasional y arrepentido). Desde nuestra perspectiva, la compra de sexo de pago no se produce por la búsqueda de sexo de calidad, diversión y disfrute hedonista, sino que es una estrategia de refuerzo de una masculinidad conformada por una identidad que gira en torno a la exhibición frente al grupo de pares. | gl |
