Male Prostitution in the Twentieth Century: Pseudohomosexuals, Hoodlum Homosexuals, and Exploited Teens
Description:
Male prostitution altered its form dramatically over the course of the 20th century. While some of these changes relate to economics & general cultural shifts (the Depression of the 1930s, the rise of a counterculture during the 1960s & 1970s), some of the most important changes have arisen in response to transformations in the idea of homosexuality & the growing influence this idea had within middle- & then working-class culture. This essay identifies the diverse forms male prostitution has taken since the late-Victorian period & the ways in which it has been written about by various commentators in different eras. 1 Figure, 313 References.
