När sökning av tidigare forskning genomfördes uppkom få träffar som berörde just manliga sexarbetare. Några forskare som genomfört litteraturstudier på området framhåller även hur manliga sexarbetare inte skildras i vetenskapliga diskussioner samt att det finns en uppfattning om att det endast existerar kvinnliga prostituerade (Dennis, 2008; Marques, 2011). Även studiens resultat visar på att det finns en brist på medvetenhet gällande manliga sexarbetares existens i det thailändska samhället. Därmed kan konstateras att det finns ett behov av mer forskning kring manliga sexarbetare. Ytterligare forskning behöver delvis föra fram mer kunskap inom området men även för att motverka felaktiga föreställningar om att enbart kvinnor blir sexuellt exploaterade. Det framkommer i studiens resultat att många av de unga män som sexuellt exploateras i den aktuella staden tillhör etniska minoriteter. Trots att det i studiens resultat påvisas att många av de unga män som sexuellt exploateras tillhör etniska minoriteter framhålls denna faktor endast i två av de studier som ingår i forskningsöversikten (Beyrer, 2001; Ferguson, 2014). Därmed skulle detta kunna vara ett föremål för framtida forskning då mer kunskap om etniska minoriteters utsatthet för sexuell exploatering behövs inom de vetenskapliga diskussionerna. Ett ytterligare behov som inte fokuserats på inom tidigare forskning är vilka behov som finns för att kunna återintegrera de unga män som befinner sig i sexindustrin till samhället och till andra former av sysselsättningar.
