Gabiam K, Piechowski C Les Cahiers de la Fonderie, Brussels has recently seen the emergence of a Gay Village in an area of the inner city known as the Saint-Jacques district. Based on empirical studies, this article investigates the nature of this new kind of space, increasingly common in Western cities, for homosociability.
It also tries to position the phenomenon within a wider geography of homosexual territory on a city-wide scale. The study highlights the contrast between a concentration of visible marks of homosexual presence in the inner city such as bars and associations , particularly in the Saint-Jacques district, and a wider spatial diffusion of more heterogeneous and less visible types of homosexual territory in urban space.

Hoe jongens in de prostitutie beginnen. Dit artikel is gebaseerd op hoofdstuk 4, paragraaf 3, in: Paul van Gelder, Kwetsbaar, kleurig en schaduwrijk. In de literatuur, de media en de politiek dringt deze vraag zich regelmatig op de voorgrond om dan weer te verdwijnen in de schemering.

The vibrant Red Light District in Amsterdam is one of the most important, but also one of the most controversial tourist attractions in the Netherlands. On all but two small streets, women sell their bodies for sex. In the Barndesteeg and the Bloedstraat, one can find transgender or transsexual prostitutes. Men are nowhere to be found behind windows.
Instead, they operate in parks, gay bars, gay clubs, chat rooms and illegal brothels. Male prostitution is hardly discussed in the Netherlands, but it is out there — in every province, region and city. It is therefore important to raise awareness about the existence of these boys and men.

Even those forced to work in illegal brothels began on a voluntary basis. One of our most valuable findings was is that the internet plays an important structural role in the broadening the range of male prostitution in the Netherlands.

Bisexual identity and psychological distress in a sample of Czech male sex workers The results indicate that working as a prostitute per se has little impact on the psychological functioning of these young men, but only in the case where they identify as either heterosexual or homosexual. However, for those who identify themselves as bisexual, they suffer significantly more emotional distress, engage in more hypersexual and risky sexual behavior, and more frequently have problems with drugs and alcohol.
Homosexuals are engaging in orientation congruent sexual behavior, and heterosexuals in economically validated behavior, but for bisexuals, it seems that working as a male prostitute makes the process of developing a sexual identity more complex and distressing. Male prostitution is prevalent in Hungarian gay places, but not really professional.

The interview demonstrates that the Lithuanian sex worker both confirms and deconstructs the traditional male sexual script of erotic adventures Gagnon and Simon , On the one hand, he plays an active role both in sexual and non-sexual encounters and tries to look and act like a real man aspiring to the institutional gender script of hegemonic masculinity.
On the other hand, he minimizes the risk in dealing with clients by not engaging in an unsafe sex, declining unwanted sexual practices and rejecting drugs. Besides pleasant memories of his generously paying clients who bolstered his sense of self, the escort is susceptible to societal condemnation, stigma, and self-doubt because he clearly considers his work as a conscious deviation from sexual and gender norms. Othering himself, the respondent expresses a subjective feeling of hopelessness and powerlessness that makes him miserable.
