Abstract
Este estudio explora las opiniones de hombres españoles sobre la prostitución, especialmente de aquellos que han pagado por servicios sexuales. Se ha partido de una muestra aleatoria de 1.048 hombres de 18 a 70 años residentes en España, mediante encuesta telefónica, a través de un cuestionario con 37 preguntas. El 20,3% ha pagado servicios sexuales alguna vez en su vida y el 15% en el último año. Entre los resultados se destaca una tipología de clientes de prostitución en función de sus motivos para comprar servicios sexuales: los Funners (24,1%), que buscarían ocio y diversión; los Thingers, (21,7%) que desean sexo sin implicación ni compromiso; otro 21,7% los Couple Seekers, que buscan pareja; los Riskers, (19,8%) que además de sexo le atrae los comportamientos de riesgo asociados; y los Personalizers (12,6%) serían aquellos que desean sexo con intimidad y compañía. Estos grupos difieren en su satisfacción sexual y en sus creencias u opiniones sobre los motivos que las mujeres tienen para ejercer la prostitución. En función de estos grupos se realizan recomendaciones para la sensibilización y concienciación de los clientes de prostitución en la lucha contra la trata.
Highlights
The business of prostitution has been organized into a very broad and lucrative industry, forming part of the culture of consumption in late capitalism (Brents and Hausbeck 2007)
In Spain prostitution is neither regulated not prohibited: the Spanish penal code criminalizes neither the people who practice prostitution, nor those who pay for sexual services
When we asked about the frequency during the last year 15% (n=32) responded to the question, which indicates that there is an additional 3% (n=7) who paid for sexual services in the last year
Summary
The business of prostitution has been organized into a very broad and lucrative industry, forming part of the culture of consumption in late capitalism (Brents and Hausbeck 2007). In recent decades, in some Spanish cities, municipal regulations have been drawn up enabling the fining of people who contract their clients in public, in some cases affecting clients; the laws that affect people who practice prostitution tend to be enforced with greater vigour than those that affect the people who are seeking sexual services (Villacampa and Torres 2013). The intention of these penalty measures is to limit prostitution to private spaces that keep it invisible
