Sex for Men

Because discrimination prevents them to find common jobs, the wide majority of transsexuals (TG) do sex work to earn a living. Some of them started very young, at the age of 14-15, before joining the TG community, others started after becoming part of it.
For most of them joining the community is almost a dream, it is the possibility to express themselves and their own nature. The community becomes the family, with sisters and moms.
The 1st Lane of Kamatipura is where most of the transgender live in brothels and do sex work. Normally there is a family in each brothel, where the Guru is the owner and leader of each TG working and living in it.
Other TGs practicing sex works live in groups or with their Guru in houses of the suburban areas of Mumbai. In this case transgender do sex work in slums or in isolated places and not in the building where they live to avoid problems with the neighbours.
Work starts at seven/eight pm and it ends when there are no more customers. A TG can have an average of 10 clients per night, but some say that in lucky cases they have been dealing with even more than twenty.
The earnings (two Euros per client) are divided in two, a half is for the Guru and the rest is kept for themselves.
According to a common belief among clients, HIV is only transmitted through unprotected sex with female sex workers and not with transsexuals. This could explain the fact that 70% of TG’s customers are heterosexual and married with children, and not necessarily TG or homosexual.
