Is it wrong for a man to buy sex from a woman? In this book, Lawford-Smith argues that commercial sex is quintessentially hierarchical sex, and it is wrong both to have and to perpetuate a market in hierarchical sex. Pepper argues that men are permitted to buy sex from those women who freely choose to sell it.
