While there is a growing literature focusing on clients in sexual economies, much of this relies on heteronormative and/or unproven assumptions about masculinity and men’s motivations for purchasing sex. This collaborative ethnographic research takes a comparative approach by studying performances of masculinity in heterosexual and homosexual commercial sex venues in Rio de Janeiro. The authors argue that masculine performances not only are about homosocial male bonding between clients but also are aspirational performances in which actors must work within and across particular class- and race-based structures to jockey for position within the local hierarchy of hegemonic masculinity. They conclude that the connection between masculinity in heterosexual and homosexual venues is fractal, refractive, and coconstituitive. That is, even though the performances of masculinity look different in outward appearance, they actually operate within a shared ideology of gender and are coconstructed through actors’ own pretensions toward class distinction.

Este artigo analisa o período do assim chamado protestos da “Revolução do Vinagre”, compreendido entre a Copa das Confederações de 2013 e a Copa do Mundo de 2014. Alega-se que nesse período há uma mudança acentuada nas políticas sexuais enquanto que as “políticas sexuais fora da ordem” deixam de ser aceitas e integradas nas manifestações populares de 2013 para serem subordinadas e até mesmo abandonadas durante a Copa do Mundo, visto que a violência policial contra as profissionais do sexo acelerou, à medida que os protestos populares diminuíram. Uma das alegações retóricas que causou, em especial, prejuízo às profissionais do sexo foi a alegação de que 40.000 mulheres e garotas são traficadas para cada Copa do Mundo — uma alegação que se mostrou completamente falsa. Contudo, essas garotas desaparecidas — que são imaginárias — também confirmou-se como sendo um tipo de espetáculo, sendo que esse espetáculo falacioso e dissimulado permitiu o aumento da violência policial. Este artigo argumenta que as políticas sexuais fora da ordem são remodeladas e se tornam vulneráveis a espetáculos — mesmo quando o espetáculo em questão é mais notável por sua invalidez etnográfica.

Durante a preparação para a Copa do Mundo de 2014, setores da mídia, ONGs e o Estado contribuíram para criar um pânico crescente sobre a prostituição. Incursões policiais violentas em locais lícitos de comércio sexual aumentaram e a polícia convidou a imprensa para transmitir o fechamento do local de turismo sexual de maior visibilidade no dia da abertura da Copa. Na verdade, a prostituição não aumentou no Rio de Janeiro e não houve casos confirmados de tráfico sexual associados ao evento na cidade. A “limpeza” das zonas de prostituição foi uma apropriação das terras com o objetivo de promover a limpeza social e a “renovação urbana” em Copacabana (Rio de Janeiro). Este artigo analisa como atores estatais e não-estatais construíram imagens de “gringos” – frequentemente como invasores predatórios –, criando um pânico moral para promover suas próprias agendas. Baseando-se em trabalho de campo etnográfico realizado com profissionais do sexo e clientes antes, durante e depois da Copa, a pesquisa analisa as fantasias projetadas sobre os “gringos” por vários atores – profissionais do sexo, setores da mídia, cristãos evangélicos e feministas, entre outros. Argumenta-se que os clientes “gringos” durante a Copa podem ser entendidos como turistas sexuais atípicos, que possuem uma agência limitada e que vivenciaram diferenças importantes no capital social e na competência cultural. A crença nas ideias preconcebidas sobre a masculinidade do “gringo” gerou consequências sociais imprevistas, incluindo a marginalização ainda maior das mulheres vulneráveis que trabalham na economia sexual do Rio.

In the run-up to the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, the Brazilian government engaged in a militarized campaign to clean up favelas, blighted areas, and red-light districts so that it could “develop” them. Based on ethnographic work in Rio de Janeiro, London, and Cape Town, this article argues that there is a pattern in host cities of such events in which neoliberal agents, state forces, and nongovernmental organizations use discourses of feminism and human rights—especially unfounded fears about a link between sex trafficking and sports—to enact such changes regardless of the political economic conditions or systems of governance. By destroying safe and legal venues for sex work, these actors have created the very exploitation they purport to prevent. The article also links these actions to US foreign policy mandates and a broader shift in governmentality in Brazil predicated on performing a commitment to sexual diversity, including promoting gay rights and tourism, and advancing liberal notions of sexual progress that, in actuality, marginalize more vulnerable sexual populations.

This chapter examines the organizational challenges facing male sex workers (michês) in Brazil's tourist zones, such as their intense fear of being wrongly categorized as gay and their view of "sex work" as a feminized occupational category. It shows how stigmatization interferes with outreach and organizational efforts directed at male sex workers in ways both similar to and remarkably different from those involving their female counterparts. It cites the introduction of a 6,001 percent annualized inflation rate in Brazil alongside significantly increased numbers of both sex tourists and heterosexually identified sex workers who cater to gay male clients. It considers why male sex workers refuse to become involved in sex workers' rights movements in Brazil and argues that both activists and state officials ignore the heavy toll of stigma and its impact on particular communities at high risk of HIV infection. Finally, it discusses efforts to raise awareness and change risky sexual behaviors among heterosexually identified men who have sex with men.

ABSTRACTIn this article, I examine the contradictory ideals and practices of North American gay sex tourists in Brazil. Even as gay travel can be an edifying search for broader community, gay tourists I met also argued that their travel and spending encourage local communities to become more tolerant of gay subjectivities. Gay tourists were attracted by “exotic” and “different” local models for same‐sex desire, but they simultaneously promoted the universality of “gay identity” to sex workers as a matter of modernity and gay rights, thereby attempting to delegitimize the very sexual difference that initially attracted them. Moreover, tourists’ efforts to link consumer capability to sexual identification and civil rights reflect a larger and even more dangerous tendency to cede ethically grounded claims for equal rights to market‐based ones.
