Straight Men That Have Sex With Men

What is it about?

My interview research project explores how rural straight men that have sex with men understand their gender, sexual practices, and sexual identity. The narratives of my participants demonstrate the flexibility of male heterosexuality, the centrality of straightness to rural masculinity, the importance of geographic location for how individuals identify and express their sexuality and gender, and how similar sexual practices carry different meanings across contexts and populations. How individuals identify, understand, and express their sexuality and gender reflects culture, time period, social structures, and personal interpretations.
