"Invisible Men" artwork was developed by a young political artist to bring the attitudes and behaviours of punters (men who buy sex) to the public view in a challenging but engaging way. This training features striking pieces of art using the words of "punters" as shared on an UK prostitution review site and explicitly highlights the harms and realities of the sex industry. The language used by the punters has not been altered. Some use very sexually explicit words and descriptions and others contain aggressive and sexually violent descriptions.
