Informed by the transformation of intimacy, the breakdown of institutional constraints, the emergence of a new female sexual autonomy and the advancement of information technology, this book moves beyond stereotypes of sex work to look at the complexities of compensated dating. The phenomenon of compensated dating is distinctive from most other sex trades in that it involves intense emotional interactions and often extends beyond the commercial boundary. Given the dynamic, flexible and ambiguous nature of compensated dating, it has become more of a space for sexual explorations and less of a rigid model of commercial sex, at least in the eye of the participants. This book walks through how men become involved in compensated dating and also sheds lights on how gender relations are negotiated, with important implications on what it means to be a man and a woman in contemporary Hong Kong society. It also speaks to the broader transformations of some of the key social structures and elements, particularly gender and sexualities, in the era of late modernity.Gender, Sexualities and Culture in Asia,2662-7884Gender identityCultureGenderSex and lawGender and Sexualityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35010Culture and Genderhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210Gender, Sexuality and Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB030Gender identity.Culture.Gender.Sex and law.Gender and Sexuality.Culture and Gender.Gender, Sexuality and Law.306.7420951Chu Cassini Sai Kwanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut959992BOOK9910300609003321Compensated Dating2175772UNINA
