Abstract

ABSTRACT Hegemonic masculinity constitutes a relevant tool for understanding the genderization processes prevailing in men’s sexualities. Hence, we deployed this concept as a resource to analyse how sexual fluidity might apply to the sexuality of non-heterosexual men and how they experienced this. We carried out semi-structured interviews with 15 participants, ranging from 20 to 53 years old, who all reported having experienced sexual fluidity. This article presents experiences of sexual fluidity as a shifting identity amidst flexible sexual activities and concerns over normativity through personal and social reactions taking place in a heterostable social world. These results exhibit the negotiations of sexual fluidity with hegemonic masculinities, both reproduced and questioned.

非异性恋男性的性流动性:与霸权男性气质协商的性变异性的话语和实践

霸权男性气质构成了理解男性性取向中普遍存在的性别化过程的相关工具。因此，我们将这一概念作为一种资源来分析性流动性如何适用于非异性恋男性的性行为，以及他们是如何经历的。我们对15名参与者进行了半结构化访谈，年龄从20岁到53岁不等，他们都表示经历过性流动。这篇文章通过异性恋社会世界中发生的个人和社会反应，呈现了性流动的体验，即在灵活的性活动中身份的转变，以及对规范性的担忧。这些结果展示了性流动性与霸权男性气质的谈判，既有再现，也有质疑。

期刊介绍： NORMA is an international journal for high quality research concerning masculinity in its many forms. This is an interdisciplinary journal concerning questions about the body, about social and textual practices, and about men and masculinities in social structures. We aim to advance theory and methods in this field. We hope to present new themes for critical studies of men and masculinities, and develop new approaches to ''intersections'' with race, sexuality, class and coloniality. We are eager to have conversations about the role of men and boys, and the place of masculinities, in achieving gender equality and social equality. The journal was begun in the Nordic region; we now strongly invite scholarly work from all parts of the world, as well as research about transnational relations and spaces. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
