Despite government-mandated restrictions on business and social activities worldwide, some sex workers continued to see clients in person throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. To better understand this behaviour, we compiled publicly available data from Internet advertisements posted on a popular website before and during the pandemic by male sex workers providing services to men. We first collected data in March 2019 from 172 advertisements – the complete number available at that time – posted by male sex workers advertising services in the Atlanta region. We then assessed whether these same sex workers continued to advertise their availability at three subsequent points during the COVID-19 pandemic: April 2020, January 2021 and February 2021. We also determined whether age and race were associated with advertising presence at each time point. While advertising rates declined among sex workers in all race categories (Black, White and 'other'), results from our mixed effects logistic regression model show that the odds of older male sex workers continuing to advertise were greater than the odds for their younger counterparts. Further, the predicted probability of continued advertising was highest for White male sex workers. Our findings provide additional insights into male sex work during a global pandemic.
