Book Synopsis
Over time, male homosexuality and effeminacy have become indelibly associated, sometimes even synonymous. Through a comparative ethnographic analysis of three communities, it explores the surprising ways that conventional masculinity is being collectively challenged, subverted, or perpetuated in contemporary gay male culture.

Trade Review
"There is an artistic elegance to Hennen's ability to provide a playful and ethnographically rich glimpse into the social worlds he travels through while at the same time adding to important theoretical debates in the sociologies of gender, sexuality, and queer theory." - Wayne H. Brekhus, University of Missouri - Columbia"
