Men from a variety of sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds
overturn myths about male sexuality and desire Male sexuality comes
of age in this provocative collection of personal essays and
poetry. Male Lust's nearly 60 contributors explore emotional,
social, and political aspects of sex and desire from a diversity of
backgrounds, perspectives, and sexual orientations. Answering the
long-standing challenge for men to finally theorize the complexity
of their own sexual desires, Male Lust (a 2001 Lambda Gay Studies
Literary Award Finalist) delves into topics such as commercial sex,
sadomasochism, feminism, and white supremacy without lapsing into
reactionary, knee-jerk or misogynist stances. This book offers a
positive sexual vision that moves far beyond the narrow messages
offered in mainstream media. Male Lust reveals thoughtful, detailed
realities of gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, and
same-gender-loving men's personal experiences with sex that lurk
behind the stereotypes. Among the many topics that the essays,
stories, and poems herein chronicle are: various facets of men's
and women's experience with commercial sex, both as consumers and
providers social and hormonal phenomena involved in transitioning
from female to male handling the impact of white supremacy on male
lust as a man of color the transformational possibilities of S/M
women's responses to the lusts of the men in their lives coming of
age with a "deviant" gender or sexual orientation healing from rape
and other forms of sexual abuse coming to terms with loving and
desiring women within a misogynist culture lust and desire within a
disabled bodyTogether, the contributors break the noisy silence
surrounding male lust, challenge the dominant images of men as
unemotional sexual predators, and expose the live, beating hearts,
minds, and souls of real men loving, healing, and revealing
themselves, each other, and the women in their lives. Male Lust
heralds the next generation of thinking men--a must-read for anyone
seeking cutting-edge ideas on sexuality and desire.
