Innovative essays that explore how men perform femininity and what
femininity looks like without women What counts as "male
femininity"? Is it simply men behaving in effeminate ways or is it
the absence of masculinity? Male Femininities presents a nuanced,
critical collection of essays that highlight the extent to which
male femininities are neither an imitation of femaleness nor an
emptying of masculinity. These innovative essays focus on both gay
and straight men, and transmasculine and genderqueer people in
their construction and performance of femininity, thereby revealing
the possibilities that open up when we critically examine
femininity without women. Male Femininities asks, What does
femininity look like for men? The contributors-highly regarded
scholars and rising stars-cover a range of topics, including drag
queens, cosmetic enhancements, trans fertility, and
gender-non-conforming childhoods. Male Femininities illuminates
what happens when we decouple femininity from female bodies and how
even the smallest cracks and fissures in the normative order can
disrupt, challenge, and in some cases reaffirm our existing
sex-gender regime. This volume pluralizes the concept of male
femininities and leads readers through an exploration of how
gender, sex, and sexuality are manifested in the United States
today.

This popular reader has a strong sociological focus, highlighting
the ways that social institutions-and the individuals within
them-shape our understanding of sexuality and influence our
behaviours, attitudes and identities. The readings, 50 percent of
which are new to the Fifth Edition, cover a diverse range of sexual
experiences, including new pieces on asexuality, online porn and
PrEP for HIV prevention. The editors mix qualitative and
quantitative empirical pieces, sexual narratives and articles from
the popular press.
