Bernstein looks at the structural changes in sexual activity work in the later 1990s and beyond--- e.thou., efforts past urban government to shut downwards street-level prostitution, the result of the internet, and the 'professionalisation' or 'gentrification' of the mode middle and upper-center course sex workers and clients see commercial sexual activity ---and links those things to wider economic and cultural problems. She uses Bourdieu's 'Distinction' as a theoretical background to contend that in a late-capitalist, postmodern cu Bernstein looks at the structural changes in sex work in the later 1990s and beyond--- eastward.g., efforts by urban regime to shut down street-level prostitution, the consequence of the internet, and the 'professionalisation' or 'gentrification' of the way eye and upper-heart class sexual activity workers and clients run across commercial sex ---and links those things to wider economic and cultural issues. She uses Bourdieu's 'Stardom' as a theoretical background to argue that in a late-capitalist, postmodern civilization, many heart-class/educated buyers and sellers seek a 'bounded authenticity' in sex piece of work--- a performance of sex with an emotionally 'authentic' feel that is carefully recognised by both parties as commercial, and where the rules of tardily-capitalist marketing (compartmentalisation, mobility, efficient/user-friendly, flexible, 'just-in-time') apply (i.e., the Girlfriend Experience--- GFE ---offered past loftier-end courtesans and escorts). Bernstein besides looks at the form and race effects of the effort to end street prostitution in San Francisco, Amsterdam, and Stockholm as sees the economic underpinnings of such efforts--- anti-immigrant feeling in the European union with its fear of "foreign" sex workers, the effort to clear marginal populations out of areas in SF that can be redeveloped ---and relates that to the larger upshot of privatising public space on multiple levels.
Bernstein also asks wider questions: Why practise we seek 'bounded authenticity' and the Girlfriend Experience? What does it actually mean to say that sexual practice is 'commodified'? Why does gimmicky Western society and so valorise 'actuality'?
Well-written, thoughtful, and very much recommended.

An analysis of sex work in San Francisco, the Netherlands, and Sweden as placed into a socio-economic context.

An assay of sexual practice work in San Francisco, holland, and Sweden every bit placed into a socio-economical context. Sexual activity piece of work is even so another area where I had a adequately genu-jerk stance of it. I have long been an advocate of legalizing prostitution, bold information technology would be safer for those who appoint in information technology (clients and workers alike), but I all the same held a primarily heart-class belief that it was a career only "chosen" by people with few choices. I besides held a fairly typical indicate-of-view that sex piece of work was inherently demeaning to the worker. This book shows how sex work has inverse in the postal service-industrial age and that the demographics of sex workers and their clients has changed in kind. It too offers some insight into how sex workers view their work and provide alternative theories as to what workers (and clients) receive from the exchanges.
The book is competently written, merely it has its flaws. The author makes clear, though, where her research is limited.
This book is also an incredibly fascinating alternative view of the history of San Francisco as seen through the lens of the sex work industry. For that alone information technology's worth a read, especially if you alive in or just really similar San Francisco.

Amazing look at sex activity work from the turn of the 20th century to the finish, and also into the 21st with the advent of the internet and technological advances that can intersect the public and individual spheres of sexual commerce. The idea of divisional authenticity coupled with the marketing power of a nascent internet makes for a very interesting shift in consciousness or whatever from the early 90s to the early 00s and the transformation of the sexual sphere.

It was 1 of the best accounts of sex work I accept read and then far. Not merely Bernstein has washed a great fieldwork and collected enormous corporeality of data, she has also presented a very neat and insightful analysis, situating sexual commerce in a broader social and economic context, and reflected on her ain position in the field as a woman and a feminist researcher. Bravo.
This book is specially interesting to people who take lived or are living in San Francisco. Information technology explains the history, the article, and changes of prostitution in the sexual practice industry throughout three decades. Information technology describes how the dot com era brought prostitution indoors and was highly-seasoned to several unlike socioeconomic classes.
I was bothered by how she presented the startling different experience of heart class sexual practice workers, who where all but exclusively white, and the street walker prostitutes but then moved on without exploring race/ethnicity and privilege at all.
A keen and counterbalanced ethnography on contemporary sexual commerce. Bernstein illustrates with examples and contrasts from the US and abroad, and covers all her bases -from the personal to the legal.
