This book takes an unrelenting look at the hidden worlds of young
boy's sexualities. Based upon extensive group interviews and
observation, the author illustrates how sexuality and gender are
embedded in boy's cultures, peer relations and identity formations;
how being a 'proper' boy involves investing in a heterosexual
identity and; how girls are central to the formation of boys'
sexual cultures and identities. Grounded in boys' real-life
experiences, the book traces boys' struggles, anxieties and
pleasures as they makes sense of their emerging sexualities. It
also includes discussions about the pressures of compulsory
heterosexuality, the boyfriend/ girlfriend culture, misogyny and
sexual harassment. Girls, Boys and Junior Sexualities is a timely
and invaluable resource for researchers, educationalists and
students in childhood studies, sociology and social psychology, and
will be of great interest to professionals and policy makers
working with young boys.
