Description: Military Trade offers groundbreaking insight into: the difference between "miltary chasers" and uniform fetishists; why gay men prefer sailors and Marines over soldiers and airmen; the surprising range of sexual, "buddy," and even love relationships "chasers" form with servicemen; the nuances of "trade" and civil-military male prostitution; and what has been overlooked in the "sex panic" debate about men who have sex in public places.

For anyone interested in queer theory, the construction of masculinity, or sex between men outside of gay urban culture - and for anyone who has ever thrilled at the sight of a man in uniform.
