Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men

undefined

Review ------ "[Ward] shows that sexual contact has been a regular feature of heterosexual life ever since the concepts of - and heterosexuality were first created -- not just in prisons and frat houses and the , but in biker gangs and even conservative suburban neighborhoods." - New York Magazine "[Ward] has arrived at an interesting conclusion: straight men - specifically white men - are having sex with other men to affirm just how straight they are, because to be straight and still be able to perform 'gay sex' - while always remaining uninterested - is the height of white masculinity." - The Guardian "So readily visible are the pieces of evidence she amasses, and so surprising are her conclusions, that reading Not Gay is like doing a Magic Eye puzzle for the mind: All the dots you'd never before put together suddenly snap into place, allowing you to see just how hot for other men some straight men are." - Vice "Jane Ward...has written what may be the definitive (or perhaps the only) book on [this] subject." - Breitbart "Jane Ward...[has] penetrated the internet with one of those ideas that people were maybe thinking but just weren't saying: Male sexuality is as fluid as female sexuality... Ward's idea that our cultural understanding of men's sexuality has been way too simplistic for way too long is fundamentally sound and refreshing. Ward's reach suggests she's well on her way to enacting the change she intended with her writing." - Gawker Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) About the Author ---------------- Jane Ward is Associate Professor of Women's Studies at the University of California, Riverside.
