Explore the feelings of men toward other men without the
pigeonholing found in terms like "gay" and "straight"!Male to Male:
Sexual Feeling Across the Boundaries of Identity starts with the
evidence that most studies on male sexuality have ignored--the
same-sex feelings of men whose identities are heterosexual. Of the
more than fifty men in this book, almost half were aware of some
degree of same-sex feeling. But beyond percentages, the primary
focus of Male to Male is the exploration--through their own
words--of how these men experienced same-sex feelings, what these
feelings meant to them, the fears surrounding them, and the
consequences of the collision between their heterosexual identities
and their same-sex feelings.In addition to comparative data on
women's same-sex feelings, as well as on what men say in regard to
their feelings about women, Male to Male includes material from two
in-depth case studies. The first is on Clark, an African-American
man who moved into sex with men in prison. His story shows that the
need to see gay men as feminine is really a cultural defense
against the powerful pull toward the male-to-male bond, and points
to the movement to fulfill that bond when this defense is dropped.
The second is on Zack, a gay police officer. His story explores the
different dimensions and meanings of the male-to-male bond as these
unfolded in his own life, while telling about the heterosexually
identified men who "came out" to him about their own same-sex
feelings. Male to Male will help you explore: same-sex feelings in
heterosexual men and women same-sex feelings in the military prison
culture and the "heterosexual role" the fear of domination the
aesthetics of fear and power the dynamics of rape compassionate
relationships between heterosexual-identified men . . . and much
more! Male to Male provides evidence showing that the identity that
really counts--constituting the deepest source from which men's
sexual feelings for each other spring--is not specifically a gay or
heterosexual identity. That source is, rather, a male identity,
and--beyond that--a human identity.
