This article discusses the bonds between women who perform commercial sex and their clients focusing on relationships where the affective ties moves beyond stereotypes of prostitution. Based on the analysis of interviews conducted with women in different settings of commercial sex in three cities of Argentina, I outline three types of relationships with diverse forms of economic and sex-affective exchanges. This alows to reflect on the possible meanings for commercial sex trade beyond dichotomous schemes.
