“…Depuis une quinzaine d'années, de plus en plus d'études s'intéressent aux clients, à leurs motivations à acheter des services sexuels et à leurs attitudes face aux travailleuses du sexe (par ex., Bernstein, 2007;Di Nicola, Cauduro, Lombardi, & Ruspini, 2009;Holt & Blevins, 2007;Jeffrey & MacDonald, 2006;Jordan, 1997;Joseph & Black, 2012;Katsulis, 2010;Kinnell, 2006;Klein, Kennedy, & Gorzalka, 2009;Lowman & Atchison, 2006;Milrod & Weitzer, 2012;Milrod & Monto, 2012;Monto, 2000aMonto, , 2000bMonto, , 2004Monto, , 2010Monto & Hotaling, 2001;Orchard, Farr, Macphail, Wender, & Young, D. 2013;Pitts, Smith, Grierson, O'Brien, & Misson, 2004;Prasad, 1999;Sanders, 2008;Sharp & Earle, 2002;Xantidis & McCabe, 2000). La plupart de ces travaux http://cgjsc-rcessc.uwaterloo.ca indiquent qu'en regard des données sociodémographiques, les clients ne sont nullement différents des non-consommateurs de services sexuels.…”

The scope of CGJSC is purposefully broad in order to offer a diverse range of graduate students the opportunity to submit their research for publication. Examples of acceptable submissions that fall within the journal's scope are, but not limited to: theory pieces, conceptual pieces, critical analyses, substantive explorations and book reviews. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed methodologies are accepted. We aim to publish insightful and well-written empirical pieces that enrich the collective knowledge within the disciplines of sociology and criminology.CGJSC welcomes submissions from graduate students involved in research outside of, but related to, the disciplines of sociology and criminology. All fields within the social sciences (ex: Political Science, History, Psychology, Religious Studies, Women's Studies, Labor Studies, Health Sciences, Economics, Anthropology) are encouraged to submit provided that they demonstrate a direct link to a sociological and/or criminological area of study. Peer Review Process:Submissions selected for blind peer-review are distributed to at least two (2) graduate student or faculty reviewers within the same field of expertise. CGJSC uses a blind peer-review process where the identities of the submitting author as well as those of the peer-reviewers are unknown to each party. All efforts will be made by the managing editor(s) to keep the identities of the submitting author and peer-reviewers confidential.

“…This occurs when a woman acts as affectionate and excited in the exchange as she would in a consensual romantic relationship (Holt & Blevins, 2007). Clients in Australia rated the sex worker experience higher when the sex worker made the client feel special (Holt & Blevins, 2007).…”

Sex work in South Africa is poorly understood. Sex work and paying for sex are still considered illegal in South Africa. Research focus thus far has been on sex workers and their experiences. There exists a paucity of research literature on the perceptions of the client. This research focused on how South African men construct paying for sex.Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore male clients' experiences of paying for sex. Through thematic analysis various themes emerged. Three main themes were identified: justifications, motivations, and deterrents. Our findings offer insight into South African heterosexual male clients' constructions of paying for sex.By gaining insight into the clients' constructed perceptions of paying for sex, we begin to understand the demand factor in sex work. Further research into the demand of male clients may deepen our understanding of the nature and consequences of sex work. This has the potential to impact legislation around sex work and aid in their construction of aspects of gender and sexuality.

“…Regardless of the limited lists of attributes, distinctions can be drawn to suggest romantic and more intimate services, with several gay escorts claiming to offer the 'Boyfriend Experience' (BFE). Escorts stating that they would be willing to provide the client with a 'BFE', or 'GFE' in the case of the female escorts, were commonly referring to their willingness to provide their customers with services such as kissing, hugging, caressing and mutual oral sex acts, as required (Holt and Blevins 2007;Sanders 2004). Again, although not using a romantic discourse, the advert gave a clear sense that the client could expect a greater depth to the sexual encounter, beyond the act of mechanical sex.…”

Technological advances have contributed to the changing structure and organisation of sex work, heralding a dramatic growth in sex workers soliciting and advertising the selling of sex via the Internet. This study was concerned with four distinctive, independent online escort markets-male heterosexual, female heterosexual, gay and lesbian. A discourse analysis was conducted on ten online advertisements from each escort sample, in order to analyse how different online escorts advertise their sexual services in relation to gender, sexuality and social class. The findings reveal core differences between each of the escort samples in relation to gender and power dynamics. Findings highlighted that maleness and masculinity-aspower play a role whether we are looking at men as the buyers or the sellers of escort services. In stark contrast, advertisements presented femaleness and femininity as objectified, submissive and/or vulnerable regardless as to whether we are looking at women as the buyers or the sellers of escort services.
