| dc.description | The essays in this book grow out of my continued scholarly interest and research in sexuality. The three essays in part 1 are more or less programmatic, an attempt to map the contours of male sexuality from within a perspective that sees gender as the organizing principle of sexual expression. Particularly, I try to explore the links between male sexuality and aggression, as well as to understand the connections between sexism and homophobia. Part 2 presents a sample of my thinking about pornography and sexual representation. In an article in The Village Voice in 1982, feminist film critic B. Ruby Rich offered a challenge. If “the legions of feminist men” wanted to do something useful, find “a proper Subject,” they could “undertake the analysis that can tell us why men like porn (not, piously, why this or that exceptional man does not).” As the feminist debate about pornography seemed to rage all around me, I took Ruby’s general challenge as a personal inspiration and embarked on the process that led to Men Confront Pornography. Chapter 4 in this volume fuses both the introduction and conclusion of that book. The three coauthored essays represent efforts to empirically explore the gendering of sexual desire and test some of the questions raised by the feminist debate about pornography. The essays in part 3 revolve around questions concerning the sexual identity and behavior of actual people, not about representations. I critique a creeping essentialism in both feminist and gay movements, try to map a gendered understanding of bisexuality, and explore some issues of masculinity that are raised by men with sexual problems | - |
