Alcohol use in commercial sex is highly prevalent globally and alcohol use in conjunction with sexual activity might increase the probability of risky behaviors. In the current study, we explored individual and contextual factors associated with drinking alcohol before visiting female sex workers (FSWs) among 560 male clients in Sichuan province, China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Sichuan province, China. Over one-fifth (21.1 %) of the participants reported always using alcohol before having sex with FSWs. As compared to those who reported not always drinking alcohol before having sex with FSWs, male clients who reported always drinking alcohol before having sex with FSWs had higher income, were more likely to have main sex partners, to drink alcohol daily, to report minor depressive symptoms and were more likely to visit FSWs with friends rather than by themselves. Results from this study highlight the importance of addressing alcohol use among men who pay for sex in China. Future interventions should promote alcohol-related norms in reducing the harms associated with consuming alcohol.
在中国四川省，对 560 名男性性服务消费者进行了横断面调查，研究了与饮酒和性服务消费者行为之间的关系。结果显示，21.1%的被调查者报告称在与性工作者发生性行为之前总是饮酒。与那些报告称在与性工作者发生性行为之前并非总是饮酒的人相比，报告称在与性工作者发生性行为之前总是饮酒的男性性服务消费者具有更高的收入，更有可能拥有主要性伴侣，更有可能每天饮酒，报告有轻微抑郁症状，更有可能与朋友而不是独自一人去性工作者处。本研究结果强调了在中国针对花钱买性的男性解决饮酒问题的重要性。未来的干预措施应促进与饮酒相关的规范，以减少与饮酒相关的危害。
