About The Book

[Book Title] by Philip Birch delves into the complex and often controversial topic of sex work, offering an in-depth examination of the men who procure female sexual services. While sex work has historically been marginalized and demonized, Birch brings a unique perspective by focusing on the social, personal, and psychological aspects of men who engage in this exchange.

Through a thorough analysis of existing literature combined with new data, Birch develops a multi-factor model to better understand the motivations and demographics of men who purchase sexual services. This groundbreaking work challenges conventional views and provides valuable insight into the reasons behind such behavior, offering a more balanced approach to the study of sex work.
