摘要

泰国的性产业部门迎合男性之间的性行为，最近转移到主要的移民劳动力，特别是在该国北部地区。在泰国北部的都市中心清迈，大多数性工作者都是来自缅甸的掸族移民。本研究探讨了清迈从事性工作的掸族男性的生活，考察了与酷儿性商品化的接触如何塑造了他们的性别和性身份。由于本研究中的掸族性工作者认为自己是异性恋男性，因此向男性提供性服务可能会影响他们对(异性恋)男子气概的认识。本研究基于对20位在清迈市生活和工作的掸族性工作者的深度访谈，一方面探讨掸族性工作者如何协商、重新定义和重建他们的男性气质，另一方面探讨男性、性工作者和非公民移民的身份如何交叉并塑造他们的经历和身份。

Masculinity for Sale: Shan Migrant Sex Worker Men in Thailand and Questions of Identity

The Thai sex industry sector catering to sex between men has recently shifted to a predominately migrant workforce, particularly in northern part of the country. The majority of sex worker men in Chiang Mai, a metropolitan center in northern Thailand, are Shan migrants from Myanmar. This research explores the lives of Shan men engaged in sex work in Chiang Mai, examining how engaging with queer sexual commodification shapes their gender and sexual identities. As Shan sex worker men in this research identify as heterosexual men, selling sex to men might impact their sense of (hetero)masculinity. Based on 20 in-depth interviews with Shan migrant sex worker men living and working in Chiang Mai city, this research explores, on the one hand, how Shan sex worker men negotiate, redefine, and reconstruct their masculinities, and on the other, how the identities of being a masculine man, sex worker, and non-citizen migrant intersect and shape their experiences and identities.
