From the time of its first publication, 'Tearoom Trade' engendered controversy. It was also accorded an unusual amount of praise for a first book on a marginal, intentionally self-effacing population by a previously unknown sociologist. The book was quickly recognized as an important, imaginative, and useful contribution to our understanding of "deviant" sexual activity. Describing impersonal, anonymous sexual encounters in public restrooms--"tearooms" in the argot--the book explored the behavior of men whose closet homosexuality was kept from their families and neighbors. By posing as an initiate, the author was able to engage in systematic observation of homosexual acts in public settings, and later to develop a more complete picture of those involved by interviewing them in their homes, again without revealing their unwitting participation in his study. This enlarged edition of 'Tearoom Trade' includes the original text, together with a retrospect, written by Nicholas von Hoffman, Irving Louis Horowitz, Lee Rainwater, Donald P. Warwick, and Myron Glazer. The material added includes a perspective on the social scientist at work and the ethical problems to which that work may give rise, along with debate by the book's initial critics and proponents. Humphreys added a postscript and his views on the opinion expressed in the retrospect.… (mais)

This is an older study which probably couldn't be duplicated today because of ethical standards in the social sciences. Humphreys was able to gain enough entree to the pre-Stonewall gay community to do observations of men having sex with men in public restrooms (tearooms). He writes about how the encounters happen, how all participants are consenting, and how care is taken to not disrupt the more mundane uses of the bathroom. He pleads for tolerance and de-criminalization. My edition includes several essays discussing the ethical difficulties with the study (or any study of a marginalized, criminalized subgroup. ( )

Foreword - Tearoom Trade brings together a number of sociological traditions in a unique study that contributes toward establishing the sociology of sexual behavior on theoretically and methodically sound basis.
Acknowledgments - Lee Rainwater has exercised the greatest influence on this study.
Chapter 1 - While the agreement resulting in "one-night stands" occur in many settings-the bath, the street, the public toilet-and may vary greatly in the elaborateness or simplicity of the interaction preceding culmination in the sexual acts, their essential feature is the expectation that sex can be had without obligation or commitment.
