Male Sex Work in the Digital Age w/ Paul Ryan

In our second episode, John O’Brien talks with Paul Ryan, Associate Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology in Maynooth University. We discuss his latest book: Male Sex Work in the Digital Age: Curated Lives. The discussion centres on the research of Professor Ryan, which emphasises listening to the voices of sex workers so that their experiences and needs can be heard. The talk covers background issues of migration, precarious and difficult employment for migrant workers in the mainstream economy, the housing crisis, and the transformation of the nature of sex work in the digital age.
