Description

"Public Sex in a Latin Society is one of the first books to explore the lives of people who look for sex in public places in Latin America and the dangers involved - from murder to HIV infection. The book examines why many gay men frequent public sex places, such as parks, bathhouses, saunas, and movie theaters, and also explores the unique culture surrounding sex in these places. This informative book examines the dangers of violence, murder, and HIV contraction and how community organizations are trying to address these issues. Containing interviews with police officials, murderers, and the sex workers themselves, this in-depth study discusses data on assault and crime to provide you with information on how individuals can stay safe while seeking sex in public places."--BOOK JACKET.
