| description | In this article, we analyze how prostitution has been resignified as a scenario of subjective reconstruction for men in a social context of changes. Prostitution is analyzed from a gender and feminist perspective, taking into account how gender inequality makes possible prostitution and how gender inequality is reproduced within prostitution.

It is argued that some of these bases have failure and others (violence and sexual activity) have strengthened and prostitution appears at the crossroads between violence and patriarchal sexuality. |
