Presenting research from sexology, sociology, and psychology, it features extensive findings on the sexual, social, romantic, and emotional behaviors of the 90 men interviewed in the U.S. and U.K. Issues and challenges are examined in such areas as identity and self-concept, along with the burden of social erasure and the paradox of stigma from both the gay and straight communities. However, the research reveals evidence of a recent cultural transition toward acceptance of bisexual identity and behavior, with younger bisexual men experiencing better social lives and increased recognition of the legitimacy of bisexuality. Among the topics covered: Examining the components of sexuality. Measuring and surveying bisexuality. Bisexual burden Demonstrating a generational cohort effect Expansion of gendered boundaries. Erosion of the one-time rule of homosexuality. Coming out in the 21st century. Bringing clarity and focus beyond the gender binary—and compelling insights into why society and science have trouble shedding that paradigm—The Changing Dynamics of Bisexual Men’s Lives will interest sexuality scholars, sexologists, and social scientists studying the social aspects of sexuality.Focus on Sexuality Research,2195-2264Sexual behaviorSex (Psychology)SociologyPsychotherapyCounselingSexual Behaviorhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20080Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Psychotherapy and Counselinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12010Sexual behavior.Sex (Psychology)Sociology.Psychotherapy.Counseling.Sexual Behavior.Gender Studies.Psychotherapy and Counseling.306.7650811Anderson Ericauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut781891McCormack Markauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254690103321The Changing Dynamics of Bisexual Men's Lives2486446UNINA
