To address this topic, I first discuss the organization and structure of this type of work and then discuss how it is related to gender norms, a culture of moral panic, and institutionalized sexism. All of this discussion is framed using feminist debates about the possible exploitative/liberatory aspects of sex work. After establishing the broader arguments, I transition into an analysis of qualitative studies that include sex workers’ own narratives about how they experience power, consent, and exploitation in the context of their work and their lives.</p> sex work Sex Workers Qualitative Analysis Power Wealth Gender Oppression Individual Sex Worker Perspectives on the Influence of Gender, Wealth, and Power in Their Work
