  The banning of In Dublin for carrying advertisements for sexual services in its classified section has highlighted the sex industry in Dublin. Yet little is known - there is very little research and almost no literature on the subject - about one category of sex worker: the male prostitute. The author estimates that there are some hundreds of these invisible men in Dublin and the aim of this book is to shed some light on them. Over a period of months she made the acquaintance of young men, some of whom work on the streets or hustle in Phoenix Park, others who operate as masseurs or escorts from the relative safety of their own homes. They spoke frankly to her about their clients, about the sexual activities they engage in, about their backgrounds, their education, and frequently, their lack of hope for the future.
