This submitted thesis with the title Prostitution from the viewpoint of demand (analysis of web pages of prostitutes' clients) is focused on the reflection of women working in the sexual business by their clients - "norniks" - men, who are using commercial sexual services, and who also participates in the discussion at the website www.nornik.net. The thesis is divided in two parts: theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part defines the concept of prostitution, and is further dedicated to the types of female prostitution. It briefly describes the history of prostitution, as well as the prostitution in the territory of the Czech Republic, and also reflects the change of the czech sexual scene. In the following chapters of the theoretical part I defined the typology of prostitutes, the typology of prostitution, and specified the typology of female prostitution in detail. I also looked into men as actors in the sexual business, depicted them as prostitutes' clients and customers. In the last chapter of the theoretical part the thesis describes the website forum www.nornik.net. The research section deals with a description of the methodology of the research itself, interpreting and presenting research results. With regard to an objective of this thesis and specificity of the research sample I have chosen a strategy of qualitative research. As a research method, I have used a qualitative-interpretative secondary analysis of documents. When examining the reflection of women's language means by men-?norniks?, elements of discourse analysis were used. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the reflection of women working in the sexual business by their clients who at the same time discuss their experiences on the website www.nornik.net. Out of the above objective I have determined the following question: How are women working in the sex industry reflected by clients? The fundamental target file is created by contributions of users from website www.nornik.net. This group is highly specific, especially because it is closed to the mainstream society and puts a high emphasis on anonymity. The research for this thesis was carried out from January to April 2013. The data extracted from the analysis of individual discussions has been processed by the method of making clumps. As has emerged from the analysis of the website when making a research, men - ?norniks? consider sex as a merchandise and commodify female body, which is evident from the evaluation and appellation of women working in the sexual business. Experienced ?norniks? appreciate such women who make their living by providing sexual services mainly for being skilled, likeable and for having good manners. At repeated meetings, such qualities trumps the physical attractiveness, which is of course important and also decisive at the first date. Rating and naming of women working in the sexual business varies depending on where the women work. An interesting discovery was that some ?norniks? consider sexual services as the easiest and cheapest way to satisfy their sexual needs. This finding is also closely related to the description of motivation for immersion. For ?norniks?, commercial sex becomes a certain kind of addictive behaviour, they have higher sexual appetite or seek for something new and uncommon or want to realize their sexual imagination. In this thesis should be a reflection of women working in the sexual business via their clients. At the same time it should be understood that also men as customers are participants of the sexual business. With regard to the fact that the issue was not further examined at the target file, it can be a source of information to the professional public. This thesis can also be an important source of information to the non-professional public and last but not least it can become a basis for further research.
