Abstract:
Sex in gray spaces -- First-timers welcome! -- Stigma and the moral economy -- Healing customers -- Victims all -- Risk and rights.
Note:
examines how adult Japanese women working in Tokyo's sex industry experience and understand contradictions surrounding the social and economic value of their work. In highlighting these disjunctions, Koch challenges the conceptual and gendered separation of sex from economic activity in order to illustrate both the mutual constitution of economic and erotic life as well as men's reliance on women's economic labor more broadly
