This article, focusing on ethnographic data on male street sex work collected by the author between 2011 and 2018, aims to highlight the meanings attributed to sexual-economic exchange and outline the hierarchical relations that are de-fined by the hegemonic construction of gender and sexuality but also, inevitably, by the payment of a wage following a performance with the aim of identifying the ways through which situational and negotiated models of masculinity are con-structed. The analysis proves that male reputation must be constantly preserved and since it determines a sort unearned advantage, it is constantly monitored and "valued" by both sex workers and "clients", as it is under perennial threat in con-texts where gay "polluting" identities appear.
Keywords: male sex work; masculinity; street sex work’s sexual fields; qualita-tive research; ethnography.
