Little is known about the sexual lives of "feminine" heterosexual men (i.e., men who eschew traditional rigid "masculine" gender roles in favor of more stereotypically "feminine" gender roles and characteristics). Based on an analysis of gender and sexuality discourse, mostly from social psychology, this paper proposes a model of the sexual subjectivity of the feminine heterosexual man. This model suggests that these men may find it difficult to attract a partner and maintain satisfying sexual relationships, but once established they appear to build strong relationships. This conceptualization proposes that feminine heterosexual men subvert overly restrictive heteropatriarchal sexual scripts, freeing both traditional and nontraditional men to explore ways of being a sexual with women ou...

Many of the nations in the region lacked a voice to challenge what some call the American empire and harmonize their power to the wishes of the United States. [...] since the epoch of the slave revolt, the partnership between the rest of the world and Haiti has been one between the dominant and the submissive - the controlling parent and the neglected child.

NEW HAVEN -- "Continuous Present," currently at the Yale University Art Gallery, investigates the concept of artmaking as an aspect of day-to-day experience, a visual commentary as it were, about the ongoing parallels and entanglements of life and art.
Inspired by Rodney Graham's video, "City Self, Country Self," in which the artist films himself in a continuous loop as a figure destined to a cycle of repetitive activity, both dominant and submissive, the exhibit shows both metaphor and method.

Dressed like this, I wondered if a dominant or submissive man would approach me. However, the leather culture works just like the rest of the gay culture. Apparently if you are an outsider, your fellow gay men don't come up to complete strangers and say "Hi." Instead much like the cars that passed me by on Church Street, the leather men just gawked.

Which gets us to the heart of your question. In ancient Greece the partners in a homosexual relationship, whether physically expressed or not, were rarely on an equal footing-almost invariably one partner (the erastes) was dominant, the other (the eromenos) submissive. While your idea about intrafamilial buggery is a little off-the-wall, in the typical scenario an adult male would hook up with a comely adolescent boy, mentoring him intellectually and in some though not all cases using him physically (the kid wasn't supposed to enjoy it). Today we'd call this pederasty and condemn it as exploitative. The Greeks didn't necessarily see it that way. While the main attraction from the senior partner's standpoint was the physical beauty of the younger man, the goal of the erastes, at least id...

Indeed, we are taught to talk about ourselves in times and terms of newly released movies and literature that mangle and mutilate, our human conception of ourselves, and introduce us to the world, "whitely" defined, as repulsive practitioners of every human evil imaginable. And we are served "tea and sympathy" only to exact from us commodified and sellable conceptions of ourselves as pitiful expressions of the deformed and degraded. It is reported that the White woman who first put up the money for "Precious," said she saw in it a "gold mine of opportunity," directed toward Whites, her "niche market." It was another golden opportunity to present Black racial pathology for White entertainment and reinforcement of false feelings of superiority, masquerading as art, sympathetic social conc...

Though she says she's had fun and learned a lot, [Heather Henderson] now wants out of the life. She's tired of the fantasy trade, tired of the disrespect from both the customers and club owners. "Men come in there and they act like they don't know why we're there. Stop staring, give us a tip. We're working" she says.
There are a lot of clients who are married and feel like they can't express this, so I tell them, 'the next time you're bringing your wife or you're not seeing me again,'" she says. "About 90 percent of the time, the spouse is more pissed about the lying.
Though her services are therapeutic, [Thain] doesn't go so far as to call herself a therapist. The Goddess avoids using the term "therapy" because it implies that she has earned board credentials, which she hasn't- yet. ...

Well, you needn't be in the dark anymore, unless that's your thing - Flirticia is here to help. This buxom kinkster has been involved with the nascent Vermont BDSM community for the past 10 years. As the director of Rose & Thorn, a BDSM group serving the Greater Burlington area, Flirticia sees it as her responsibility to educate people on exactly what the kink, fetish and BDSM group is all about. (See "Spanks for the Memories," page 24, for a primer on Vermont kink event the Spectacle of Sin.)
Safe word - word agreed on by both parties in a BDSM scene that means "stop." Often that word is "red," says [Flirticia].
Vanilla - anything that society views as normal. As Flirticia says, "Anybody but us." "Vanilla sex" is standard sex that does not involve BDSM, kink or fetish activity.
