- Abstract
In a homophobic society like Mexico's, speak-ing about male prostitution, involving people of the same sex, is inevitably associated with homosexuality. This is an arbitrary represen-tation of the sexual diversity operating in this type of commercial sex. Within the dynamics of male prostitution in Mexico City, involving clandestine activity, ignored and stigmatized, they will eventually come to form homoerotic couples between client and prostitute, mutu-ally agreeing to live together for short or long periods of time. The aim of this paper is to analyze how cohabitation via prostitution takes place, considering the function and significance of feelings in this way of experiencing male prostitution, highlighting the couple made up of the client assumed homosexual and the male prostitute known as the "mayate".
