Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The history of American gender and sexuality is examined here
through a case study of the YMCA, the organization devoted to young
men. The social history of the YMCA has been filled with strife,
tragedy and irony, reflecting the struggle and shifting societal
mores about masculine friendship and intimacy. In the 19th-century
the YMCA was built on intense male friendships that involved
economic as well as emotional independence. Some men found in the
YMCA an alternative to mainstream patterns of heterosexual marriage
and family life, choosing to live their lives as bachelors in
community with other men. But with the turn of the century, social
perceptions of gender and sexuality began to change and certain
forms of male intimacy were regarded as deviant. The text argues
that the YMCA grew more hostile to masculine love and sought to
expand its control over the emotional and sexual lives of its
members through programs in physical training, reinforcing new
images of masculinity. Pointing out, ironically, that the YMCA's
gymnasiums and dormitories became primary sites for illicit male
sexual encounters.
