En este artículo se analiza de qué forma los espacios de prostitución han sido resignificados en la actualidad como escenarios de reconstrucción subjetiva de la masculinidad frente a los cambios sociales. Se reflexiona sobre la prostitución desde la perspectiva de género y feminista dando cuenta de las desigualdades que posibilitan la relación de prostitución. A continuación, se analiza la construcción de la masculinidad abordando los pilares más significativos sobre los que se construía la identidad masculina tales como: la identidad ligada al trabajo y al rol de proveedor familiar; a la autoridad del pater familias; al ejercicio de la violencia o a la amenaza de la utilización de la misma; a la actividad sexual (siguiendo patrones androcéntricos y patriarcales). Se argumenta que el ejercicio de la violencia y la actividad sexual aparecen fortalecidos como escenarios de construcción masculina; y la prostitución aparece en la encrucijada entre violencia y sexualidad patriarcal.In this article, we analyze how prostitution has been resignified as a scenario of subjective reconstruction for men in a social context of changes. Prostitution is analyzed from a gender and feminist perspective, taking into account how gender inequality makes possible prostitution and how gender inequality is reproduced within prostitution. Also we analyze the construction of the masculinity arguing that masculinity is supported by some bases: identity linked to work and family provider; to the authority of the paterfamilias; to the exercise of violence or the threat of using it; to sexual activity (following androcentric and patriarchal patterns). It is argued that some of these bases have failure and others (violence and sexual activity) have strengthened and prostitution appears at the crossroads between violence and patriarchal sexuality.
