Deconstructing the penetrated male body and the genderisation of its representation, The Penetrated Male offers new understandings of passivity, suggesting that the modern masculine subject is predicated on a penetrability it must always disavow. Arguing that representation is the embodiment of erotic thought, it is an important contribution to queer theory and our understandings of gendered bodies.Sexual orientationHistoryHomosexualityHistoryMasculinitySocial aspectsGay menSocial life and customsGay menHistoryElectronic books.
