Most of us assume that sexuality is fixed: either you're straight,
gay, or bisexual. Yet an increasing number of young men today say
that those categories are too rigid. They are, they insist, "mostly
straight." They're straight, but they feel a slight but enduring
romantic or sexual desire for men. To the uninitiated, this may not
make sense. How can a man be "mostly" straight? Ritch
Savin-Williams introduces us to this new world by bringing us the
stories of young men who consider themselves to be mostly straight
or sexually fluid. By hearing about their lives, we discover a
radically new way of understanding sexual and romantic development
that upends what we thought we knew about men. Today there are more
mostly straight young men than there are gay and bisexual young men
combined. Based on cutting-edge research, Savin-Williams explores
the personal stories of forty young men to help us understand the
biological and psychological factors that led them to become mostly
straight and the cultural forces that are loosening the sexual bind
that many boys and young men experience. These young men tell us
how their lives have been influenced by their "drop of gayness,"
from their earliest sexual memories and crushes to their sexual
behavior as teenagers and their relationships as young adults.
Mostly Straight shows us how these young men are forging a new
personal identity that confounds both traditional ideas and
conventional scientific opinion.
