Bibliography: leaves 50-54.For many years psychodynamically oriented research into homosexuality has been a topic for controversy. The "gay" community as well as many more sociologically oriented researchers see any investigation of the psychodynamics of this orientation as implying pathology and therefore contributing to stigmatization of homosexuals. More recently, however, psychoanalytic writers have questioned traditional assumptions and pointed to a need to look at the diversity of homosexual adaptations. Of interest in a more recent perspective is Socarides' (1979) classification, distinguishing between pre-oedipal and oedipal types of homosexuals. This paper argues that while generalization about "homosexuals" is impossible, a psychodynamic approach is useful in looking at the meaning and adaptive function of the homosexual orientation in each individual client and thus understand it in relation to personality organization and behaviour. A brief summary of psychoanalytic theory of male homosexuality is given with an emphasis on Socarides' classification. Two case studies are presented in an attempt to illustrate the usefulness of a psychodynamic approach and of the oedipal - pre-oedipal distinction. It is suggested that this distinction be seen more as a continuum of varying levels of ego-functioning.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The representation of homosexuality in the Brazilian cinema of the 1960s and 1970s is generally dismissed as homophobic on the grounds that it confirms stereotypical and oppressive views of homosexual men. While it is true that many films produced during the era repeat conventional notions of sexual identity, this dismissal arguably overlooks a variety of subtle and subversive representations of homosexuality. To contest the prevailing view, eleven films have been selected from important movements of Brazilian cinema of the period; these include examples of avant-garde and popular filmmaking. An analytical approach informed by queer theory – a critical account of homosexuality and sexual identity – is used to make a series of close readings of narrative form and content. It is suggested that the apparent heterosexism of many of the films is shown to be tacitly or accidentally subverted via the implication that sexual identity is unstable and contested. A number of films are shown to illustrate ways in which oppressive hierarchies might be disabled through a reconfiguring of homosexual identity. It is argued that film form – the films’ self-referential or reflexive aspects, as well as the way in which the films construct spectating positions – is the central factor in subverting conventional views of homosexuality. Such form facilitates multiple readings of the content, therefore enabling a queer interpretation to be posited. Ultimately, it is argued that the value of these films lies in the sometimes contradictory fashion in which they present oppressive notions of homosexuality on-screen while at the same time gesturing towards ways in which such oppression could be challenged.

This thesis will examine how gay men are depicted in mainstream Japanese pop culture. To be discussed are: gay-themed comics for girls, mainstream movies in which the protagonists are gay, and finally, gay men's magazines which are gay authored and consumed. In examining how fantasies in these texts respond to the needs of various readerships, it is possible to understand how important and challenging it is for gay Japanese men to create identities of their own, identities which will allow them more possibilities than the prevailing facade of compulsory heterosexuality, complete with marriage and children.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Berättelsen om testosteronet. En historisk studie av vetenskapen om det manliga könshormonet inom det manliga klimakteriet och homosexualitet. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur historien och idéerna om manliga klimakteriet och testosteron är kopplade till de idéer som finns om sexualitet, moral och hur läkarna såg på det manliga klimakteriet. Syftet är också att förstå hur idéerna om det manliga klimakteriet har förändrats från 1920-talet jämfört med idag och hur det har diskuterats under åren av forskare. Vikten av testosteron och vilken roll idéerna om testosteron har spelat är också av betydelse för syftet i denna uppsats. I uppsatsen använder jag sociologen Peter Conrads teori om medikalisering. Conrad beskriver medikalisering genom att säga att det är en process där icke medicinska problem förändras och bli definierade och behandlas som medicinska problem och detta görs vanligen i form av sjukdom och störningar. I den här uppsatsen beskriver jag hur idéer om ett manligt klimakterium utvecklades under perioden 1920-talet – 1960-talet. Jag beskriver de idéer forskarna och läkarna hade om vad ett manligt klimakterium kunde vara. I uppsatsen undersöks även vilken effekt upptäckten av testosteron hade på idéer om det manliga klimakteriet. Debatten som läkarna har haft om det finns ett manligt klimakterium eller inte behandlas även i uppsatsen. I uppsatsen presenterar jag fyra olika svenska läkare och en finsk läkare från perioden 1920-talet – 1960-talet och behandlar deras idéer om det manliga klimakteriet och testosteron. Då diskussionen vänder sig till testosteronet presenterar jag Paul de Kruif som publicerade boken The Male Hormone (1945) och var en av de första att göra reklam för testosteronbehandling. Jag beskriver även medikaliseringen av det manliga klimakteriet och testosteron och varför det manliga klimakteriet och testosteron inte fick samma genomslag som det kvinnliga. I denna uppsats behandlas också förhållandet mellan de manliga könshormonen och homosexualitet. Jag undersöker varför läkare försökte använda testosteron och andra manliga hormon som ”botemedel” av homosexuella män och jag beskriver ett experiment som gjordes på homosexuella av den svenska doktorn Erik Lundberg.The purpose of this essay is to investigate the history and ideas of the male menopause and testosterone and how they are linked to ideas about sexuality, morality and how the doctors viewed the male menopause. The aim is also to understand how ideas about the male menopause has changed from the 1920’s compared to today and how it has been discussed by scientists. The importance of testosterone and the role the ideas of testosterone have played is also of importance for the purpose of this essay. In the essay, I use the sociologist Peter Conrad's theory of medicalization. Conrad describes medicalization by saying that it is a process where non-medical problems change and become defined and treated as medical problems, and this is usually done in the form of disease and disorders. In this essay, I describe how the ideas of a male menopause evolved in the period 1920’s - 1960’s. I describe the ideas scientists and doctors had about what a male menopause could be. This essay also examines the impact the discovery of testosterone had on ideas about the male menopause. The debate that doctors have had if there is a male menopause or not is also discussed in the essay. In this essay, I present four Swedish doctors and a Finnish doctor from the period 1920’s - 1960’s and their ideas about the male menopause and testosterone. When the discussion turns to testosterone, I present Paul de Kruif who published the book The Male Hormone (1945) and was one of the first to promote testosterone treatment. I also describe the medicalization of male menopause and testosterone and why the male menopause and testosterone did not have the same impact as the female menopause. This essay also discusses the relationship between the male hormone and homosexuality. I examine why doctors tried to use testosterone and other male hormones as a "cure" of gay men and I describe an experiment conducted on homosexuals by the Swedish doctor Erik Lundberg.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study examined male homosexuality in Spain during the early modern period in the context of social structures, race relations and gender assumptions. Since men who engaged in homosexual activity also contended with issues of status and ethnicity, the analysis focused on the interaction between their sexuality and their public personae. From this baseline, the study also examined public and official attitudes towards homosexual practices and how they shifted on the basis of social hierarchy. Over five hundred sodomy trials from the Aragonese Inquisition were examined, alongside a range of supporting archival and manuscript evidence. The use of sodomy trials allowed for an exploration of attitudes concerning the explosive mix of sexuality and hierarchy in three distinctive groups: the people of cities and towns who accused individuals of sodomy, the inquisitors who tried the latter, and the accused themselves. The analysis showed that early modern men defined sexuality on the basis of gender assumptions that upheld the masculinity of the active, usually older partner. The combination of a masculinity of penetrative sexuality and status within the community meant that homosexuality could both uphold or subvert hierarchies depending on the social identities of the active and passive partners in intercourse. Moreover, Aragonese people displayed a tendency to denounce outsiders to their communities. Inquisitorial judges, however, while demonstrating leniency towards these targets of popular persecution, reserved the harshest punishments for those who specifically challenged order by engaging in active sodomy with a social superior. These two differing strategies that separated the objectives of accusers from those of judges highlight the heterogeneous and diffuse nature of the process by which differing groups sought to impose particular views of required social order. Homosexuality in early modern Aragon emerges as a space that tested the boundaries of hierarchy and also reflected the structure of the social milieu that contextualized it.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
At the dawn of the new millennium, migration has been identified as a crucial element in the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic yet few studies have been carried out into the specific ways in which migration is able to fuel the epidemic. Since the beginning of the epidemic in the 1980s we have witnessed increasing mobility of people throughout the world, with migration being a major factor in the ongoing transmission of HIV in particular regions of the world.
This study looks at the particular of migration that exists between New Zealand and Australia and examines the effects that this has had on a group of Maori gay men and transsexuals during the time of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In particular, the study examines the effects that trans-Tasman migration has on identity and sexual practice and the implications that this has for HIV prevention among the Maori gay and transsexual communities of both countries.
In order to examine the relationship between trans-Tasman migration, identity and behaviour, in-depth interviews were conducted with two groups of Maori gay man and transsexuals. One group resided permanently in Sydney, Australia (n=13) and the other group had returned to live in New Zealand after having lived in Sydney for at least one year (n=11). During the interviews respondents were invited to talk about their cultural and sexual identity, their upbringing, their reasons for migrating to Sydney and their sexual practice in Sydney.
Analysis of the interviews showed that there were distinct differences in the two groups of respondents. While the Sydney gay community offered a haven for Maori migrants from New Zealand, this was sometimes at the expense of a compromised sense of cultural identity as well as exposure to racism, violence and prejudice from living in a predominantly white middle class society. In contrast, those who had returned to live in New Zealand had a stronger sense of their cultural identity than those who resided long-term in Sydney as well as ongoing access to a cultural context which reaffirmed and supported their sense of Maori identity. At the same time, those who lived in Sydney were more likely to report risk behaviour associated with the transmission of HIV than did those who lived in New Zealand.
This project concludes that Maori gay men and transsexuals who have a strong sense of their cultural identity may be at a lower risk of HIV infection than those who do not. These findings have significant implications for the design and implementation of HIV prevention programmes both in New Zealand and in Sydney. Such programmes need to acknowledge the cultural diversity of the gay community and must provide the means whereby community members, especially those from minority groups, may have ongoing access to cultural structures which support and reaffirm their sexual as well as their cultural identity.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Queer Transgressions: The choreographing of a male homosexual presence with reference to selected choreographers explores queer identity and in particular representations of a male homosexual presence in dance. Within the methodological framework of dance studies and queer theory I explore the ―self fashioning‖ of my male homosexual presence in dance. This is achieved by critically deconstructing my choreographic process when making choreography. Therefore this thesis is informed by both academic research and my self-reflexive experience of choreography and dance performance. The deconstruction of my autobiography and choreographic process is discussed with reference to both international and South African queer choreographers. This means that by accounting for my own experiences and approaches toward representing a male homosexual presence in dance, I explore the history and engagements of other queer choreographers also creating such representations. I therefore examine the works of selected choreographers and chart the development of the representation of a male homosexual presence in dance. By exploring the choreographic process of other queer choreographers I identify choreographic tactics that queer choreographers are using when making work. From this point of departure I shift the focus away from international queer choreographers and provide insight into the choreographic processes of South African queer choreographers. By accounting for the works and choreographic processes of South African choreographers, I provide a context in which my choreographic explorations on the subject matter can take place. This choreographic exploration manifests itself through a self-reflexive/autobiographic account on the research and practice of my choreographic process. During my choreographic exploration I set the challenge to both engage with and explore further, established ―queering tactics. This is done with the intention to reveal and create representations of a male homosexual presence in dance.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOO presente trabalho é uma reflexão acerca da experiência homossexual masculina contemporânea, estudada a partir da proposição de dezenove imagens de sociabilidades construídas no texto da cidade por homens que se relacionam sexualmente com homens. Apoiando-se, essencialmente, nos estudos de Walter Benjamin sobre a modernidade européia entre os séculos XIX e XX e, também, nos originais trabalhos de Michel Foucault sobre a emergência de uma ciência da sexualidade moderna, o trabalho busca dialogar com a textualidade da cidade contemporânea, colhida através da deambulação do pesquisador por espaços sociais ocupados por homens que se relacionam com homens. O trabalho sustenta-se numa dupla enunciação, de um lado voltada para o reconhecimento das imagens suscitadas pela temporalidade frenética do Rio de Janeiro contemporâneo, representado por espaços considerados centrais e, também, por espaços periféricos e, de outro, voltada para a composição do texto que ora se apresenta. O objetivo central do trabalho é recolher e interpretar alguns dos signos emitidos pela experiência homossexual masculina no Rio de Janeiro, a partir da elaboração metodológica de um espaço para o pesquisador que não o anule como sujeito do seu próprio tempo, mas que não o mantenha na função de uma elaboração solipsista. Neste sentido, o trabalho incorpora a ambição da ciência histórica benjaminiana, que busca apresentar a história, abrigando objetos que se degradam no tecido da construção teórica. A principal ambição é considerar que a percepção sobre a experiência homossexual masculina pode se dar a partir da exigência de uma transformação do ato banal de ver em um vetor de problematização teórica da intensidade das relações entre homens em alguns fragmentos do Rio de Janeiro. A partir das imagens construídas sobre a relação entre homens na cidade, o trabalho também problematiza a escrita e a experiência, noções essenciais para a articulação de uma percepção sensível sobre a história das práticas sexuais entre homens, principalmente aquela que se desenrola na atualidade, apreendida nos interstícios da cidade, marcada por hierarquias econômicas, valores contrastantes e, também, pela criminalização dos espaços públicos. O trabalho visa a reconsiderar o caráter político e coletivo da experiência homossexual, numa contraposição aos modelos teóricos puramente extensivos - do ponto de vista histórico - que têm se apropriado das práticas sexuais entre homens.
This study is a reflection about the contemporaneous male homosexual experience, based on a study of nineteen images of sociability of men that maintain sexual relationship with other men. The images were selected by the researcher which viewed the city as a text. The sources consulted are mostly texts of Walter Benjamim about the European modernity between XIX and XX centuries. Others sources are mainly the original works of Michel Foucault about the emergency of the modern science of sexuality. This study establishes a dialog with the text of the contemporaneous city which was written on the basis of the incursions of the researcher on social places where men have relationship with men. This study have two different focus: one of them is the portrait of the frenetic temporality of the contemporaneous Rio de Janeiro represented not only by the spaces considered as central but also as the peripherals. The other vertent is centered on the subject of the present text. The central objective of this study is to gather some of the signs emitted by male homosexual experience in Rio de Janeiro, using a methodology that do not neutralizes the researcher as subject of his own time but at the same time do not keep him in a function of a solipsist elaborater. In this sense the study has the ambition to incorporate the Benjaminian historical science, which search to present the history maintaining objects which degraded themselves in the tissue of the theoretical construction. The intention is also to consider that the perception about male homosexual experience can be transformed from the banal act of seeing in a way theoretically founded. From the images built on the basis of men´s relationship at the city. The study also problematizes the written way and the experience, essential notions to construct a sensible perception about the history of sexual practices between men, mainly that one which is devellop on the present time apprehended in the intertisce of the city, marked by economical hierarchies, contrasting values and also by the criminalization of public espaces. The study intent to reconsider the political and collective character of the homosexual experience in a contraposition of the theoretical models simply extensives - from the historical point of view - which are taken appropriation of the sexual practices between men.
D´abord, ce travail est une réflexion au sujet de l´expérience homosexuelle masculine contemporaine étudiée à partir de la proposition de dix-neuf images des sociabilités que sont contruites dans le texte de la ville par des hommes qui se mettent em relation sexuelle avec des hommes. S´appuayant essentiellement sur les études de Walter Benjamin sur la modernité europénne entre les siècles XIX et XX et aussi dans les travaux originaux de Michel Foucault sur le surgissement d´une science de la sexualité moderne, ces observations cherchent um dialogue entre le textuel de la vielle contemporaine cueille par le moyen de la déambulation du chercheur dans les espaces sociaux occupés par des hommes que se mettent em relation avec des hommes. Ce recueil se soutient sur une doublé enonciation, l´une retournée vers la reconnaissance des imagens suscitées par la temporalité frenétique de Rio de Janeiro contemporain represente par des espaces consideres centraux et, aussi, par des espaces perifériques et del´autre vers la composition du texte qui,or, se presente. L´objetif le plus important de cette étude est de recueillir et d´interpréter quelques signes émis par l´experiénce homosexuelle masculine à Rio de Janeiro à partir de l´elaboration méthodologique d´um chercheur qui ne doit pas s´annuler comme um sujet de son propre temps ni se maintienne dans la function d´une élaboration fermée en elle-même. Dans ce sens, le travail incorpore l´ambition d´une science historique benjaminienne qui cherche à, présenter l´histoire des objets qui se dregadent das le temps, mais qui se protègent dans le tissu d´une construction historique; la principal ambition est de considérer que la perception de l´expérience homosexuelle masculine peut se donner à partir d´une exigence de transformation de l´acte banal de voir, en un vecteur de problèmes théoriques de l´intensité des relations entre les hommes dans quelques fragments à Rio de Janeiro. A partir des images construités des relations entre les hommes dans les villes, le travail pose des problèmes sur l´écriture et sur l´expérience, notions essentielles pour l´articulation d´une perception sensible de l´histoire des pratiques sexuelles entre hommes; principalement celles qui se déroulent dans l´adversité apprise dans les interstices de la ville marquée par les hiérarchies économiques; par des valeurs contrastées et aussi par la criminalisation des espaces publiques. Ce travail a l´intention de reconsiderér le caractere politique et collectif de l´expérience homosexuelle par opposition aux modeles téoriques purement extensifs - du point de viue historique - qui s´est approprié des pratiques sexuelles entre hommes.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study is designed to more fully understand the adaptational processes that parents of lesbians and gay men experience when their children come out to them. Seventeen parents described their experiences in semi-structured interviews. The interview transcripts were analyzed using grounded theory methodology to develop a model of parental adjustment over time. Parents experienced three broad phases of adjustment, each with different emphases: emotional responses were most dominant initially, cognitive and behavioral adjustments were the primary focus of the middle phase, and moral/spiritual issues were the major concern of the final phase. Some parents who successfully negotiated these adjustments came to view being the parent of a gay male or lesbian as an important component of their identities. Implications for further research and clinical practice are discussed.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Human sexual behaviour is highly variable and not tightly linked to biological reproduction. However, it has not been studied as social behaviour until the last 40 years and until recently it is largely deviant behaviour that has gained the attention of sociologists. Sociology has adopted an unnecessarily antibiologistic position and consequently neglected the body. In reviewing sociological approaches to sex I draw on social constructionism, particularly the work of Gagnon and Simon (1974) and their notion of scripts; these can be interpreted as discursive structures defining sexual acts and sexual actors at both the individual and societal level. I outline a range of social constructionist positions in relation to sexuality and adopt a moderately radical but realist one that concedes some place for the physiology of arousal linking the elements of the discursive realm of the sexual in social life. Finding the basic assumptions of symbolic interactionism a fruitful base from which to approach sexual conduct I reject the concept of 'desire' as too complex and obscure to serve as a starting point in understanding the social organisation of sex. A review of the ethnographic observational studies of settings in which men have casual sex shows that beats (public places such as parks and toilets) operate in a similar manner in many countries. Commercial sex venues are more varied. They are safer and more comfortable than beats and may offer private rooms and facilities for esoteric sex such as bondage.

Human sexual behaviour is highly variable and not tightly linked to biological reproduction. However, it has not been studied as social behaviour until the last 40 years and until recently it is largely deviant behaviour that has gained the attention of sociologists. Sociology has adopted an unnecessarily antibiologistic position and consequently neglected the body. In reviewing sociological approaches to sex I draw on social constructionism, particularly the work of Gagnon and Simon (1974) and their notion of scripts; these can be interpreted as discursive structures defining sexual acts and sexual actors at both the individual and societal level. I outline a range of social constructionist positions in relation to sexuality and adopt a moderately radical but realist one that concedes some place for the physiology of arousal linking the elements of the discursive realm of the sexual in social life. Finding the basic assumptions of symbolic interactionism a fruitful base from which to approach sexual conduct I reject the concept of 'desire' as too complex and obscure to serve as a starting point in understanding the social organisation of sex. A review of the ethnographic observational studies of settings in which men have casual sex shows that beats (public places such as parks and toilets) operate in a similar manner in many countries. Commercial sex venues are more varied. They are safer and more comfortable than beats and may offer private rooms and facilities for esoteric sex such as bondage. Sex in such settings is impersonal and anonymous, costs little effort, time or money, and offers a variety of partners. Interaction is largely nonverbal. Interview studies of men who have casual sex with other men tend to undersample men who are not gay-identified, but they offer insights into men's motivations and understandings.

Thesis (MEd )--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During no other time in history have sexual minority individuals been the recipients of so much attention, scrutiny and unprecedented acceptance and inclusion into mainstream culture. However, despite advances and society's ever increasing tolerance toward sexual minorities, many individuals with alternative sexual orientations remain fearful of disclosing their sexuality. Consequently, adolescents often hide their alternative sexual orientation from others or disclose to only a select few. Adolescents with alternative sexual orientations face unique challenges, such as the coming out process, during which they must recognise, explore, define and disclose their orientation in a way that heterosexual individuals need not. Disclosure of an alternative sexual orientation is a struggle for most lesbian, gay and bisexual youth due to fears of discrimination, ostracism and violence from others. Despite a growing body of scientific literature on homosexuality in general, little is known about the disclosure process and its impact on an adolescent. This study seeks to help fill the gaps by giving voice to the adolescent by exploring the experience of disclosure. Furthermore, this study seeks to provide insight and knowledge to mental health professionals to aid adolescent clients throughout the disclosure process. This study's research methodology can be described as qualitative research which is embedded within an interpretive/constructivist paradigm. Purposive sampling was used to select five male and five female research participants. The methods of data collection that were employed comprised semi-structured individual interviews and reflective notes. Furthermore, content analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings of this study suggest that many unique issues besides the normative challenges that lesbian and gay adolescents share with heterosexual adolescents characterise their development. This research study suggests that there are several milestones that are characteristic of lesbian and gay identity development, the negotiation of which may hinder development in other areas. The male and female participants described a similar trajectory to coming out, consistently identifying a feeling of being different during early childhood which resolved into an awareness of same-sex attraction that concluded in their self-labelling as gay or lesbian. The findings of this study suggest that the process of disclosure is continuous and emergent. The reactions of parents ranged from extreme outrage and expulsion from the home to support and acceptance of the fact that their child had disclosed his/her homosexual orientation. From the findings of this study it would appear that the participants' parents were initially ill prepared and unable to support their child during his/her disclosure. The participants voiced various strategies to support an adolescent in the position of disclosing to family. There are several implications of this study's findings for mental health professionals working with lesbian, gay and bisexual adolescents and youth.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die aandag, noukeurige betragting, aanvaarding en ongekende insluiting binne die hoofstroom van die kultuur wat tans deur seksuele minderheidsgroepe ervaar word, is ongekend in die geskiedenis. Ten spyte van vooruitgang en die toenemende verdraagsaamheid teenoor die seksuele minderheid in die samelewing, vrees diegene wat 'n alternatiewe seksuele oriëntasie toon steeds om hulself bloot te stel. Gevolglik hou adolessente dikwels hul alternatiewe seksuele oriëntasie geheim of onthul hulle dit slegs aan 'n uitgesoekte paar persone. Adolessente met 'n alternatiewe seksuele oriëntasie kom op 'n wyse wat nie vir heteroseksuele individue nodig is nie, voor unieke uitdagings soos die openbaarmaking van hul oriëntasie te staan wanneer hulle dit moet erken, verken, definieër en aan die moet lig bring. Die erkenning van 'n alternatiewe seksuele oriëntasie plaas die meeste lesbiese, gay en biseksuele jeugdiges voor 'n stryd vanweë die vrees vir diskriminasie, verstoting en geweld deur andere. Ten spyte van die algemene toenemende hoeveelheid wetenskaplike literatuur oor homoseksualiteit, is daar weinig kennis van die verklaringsproses en die impak daarvan op 'n adolessent. Hierdie studie poog om die ervaring van verklaring te ondersoek om die adolessent se stem te laat hoor en sodoende die kennisgaping te oorbrug. Verder poog die studie ook om insig en kennis aan professionele persone binne die gebied van die geestesgesondheid te bied, om hulle in staat te stel om adolessente kliënte met die verklaringsproses by te staan. Die navorsingsmetodologie wat vir die studie gebruik is, kan as kwalitatiewe navorsing binne 'n interpretiewe/konstruktiwistiese paradigma beskou word. Doelgerigte toetsing is ingespan om vyf manlike en vyf vroulike deelnemers vir die navorsingspoging te werf. Data is met behulp van semigestruktureerde onderhoude en reflektiewe notas ingesamel. Verder is inhoudsanalise gebruik om die data te ontleed. Die bevindings van die studie dui daarop dat die ontwikkeling van gay en lesbiese adolessente benewens die normatiewe uitdagings wat deur hulle sowel as heteroseksuele adolessente aangespreek moet word, ook deur unieke kwessies gekenmerk word. Hierdie navorsingstudie suggereer dat verskeie mylpale kenmerkend is van die ontwikkeling van lesbiese en gay identiteit en dat die bewerkstelliging daarvan ontwikkeling in ander areas kan stuit. Die manlike en vroulike deelnemers aan die studie het langs soortgelyke bane tot die verklaring van hul oriëntasie gekom en het die gewaarwording dat hulle tydens hul vroeë jeug reeds 'n gevoel dat hulle anders was konsekwent geïdentifiseer. Hierdie gevoel het tot 'n bewustheid van die aantrekking van dieselfde geslag ontwikkel en tot self-etikettering as gay of lesbies gelei. Die bevindings van die studie stel voor dat die verklaringsproses voortdurend en opdoemend van aard is. Die reaksies van ouers wissel vanaf uiterste verontwaardiging en verdrywing vanuit die tuiste tot ondersteuning en aanvaarding van die wete dat hul kind sy/haar homoseksuele oriëntasie verklaar het. Die bevindings laat blyk ook dat die ouers van die deelnemers aanvanklik gebrekkig voorbereid was en nie in staat was om hul kind tydens die verklaring te ondersteun nie. Die deelnemers het verskeie strategieë voorgestel vir die ondersteuning van 'n adolessent wat hom/haar op die punt van hierdie verklaring aan die gesin bevind. Die studie se bevindings het ook verskeie implikasies vir professionele persone wat binne die gebied van die geestesgesondheid met lesbiese, homoseksuele en biseksuele adolessente en jeugdiges te doen het.

Androphilia refers to sexual attraction and arousal to adult males, whereas gynephilia
refers to sexual attraction and arousal to adult females. Prehistoric artifacts such as art
and pottery indicate that male-male same sex behaviour has existed for millennia.
Bearing this in mind, and considering that male androphilia has a genetic component yet
androphilic males reproduce at a fraction of the rate than do gynephilic males, how the
genes for male androphilia have been maintained in the population presents an
evolutionary puzzle. This thesis tests two hypotheses that attempt to address this
Darwinian paradox. Chapter one reviews the current literature on the kin selection
hypothesis and the sexually antagonistic gene hypothesis. In addition, rationales for
testing these hypotheses in Canada are provided. Chapter two tests the kin selection
hypothesis for male androphilia within a Canadian population. Results and implications
are discussed. Chapter three tests the sexually antagonistic gene hypothesis within a
Canadian population. Results and implications are discussed. Chapter four summarizes
the results of the two studies and discusses how these findings may be interpreted from
an evolutionary perspective. The impacts of gene-environment interaction on the
functional behavioral expression of traits are emphasized.viii, 113 leaves ; 29 cm

Following on the proposition that the history of Western thought is importantly constituted by a discourse of male-male pedagogic or pederastic relations stretching in narrative form, according to Allan Bloom, from the Phaedrus to Death in Venice, the deconstructive project of reading 'against the visible grain' has been mobilised in the interests of interrogating and unsettling what can only be defined as homophobic misreadings of Martin Boyd. Critical discursive practice, by the near-uniform imposition of a tacit censorship, has refused by means of erasure, silence and repression to reflect on Boyd from the perspective of sexual definition or same-sex love and desire, presumably in the belief that there are no interpretive consequences. In the process, an hypothesis of Boyd as himself mounting an act of social criticism by surreptitiously contesting conventional and hierarchical typologies of masculinity in the margins of institutionalised and popular hegemonic culture, seems to have escaped inscription in the canonical records. Martin Boyd's 'dividedness', 'doubleness', ambivalences and dichotomies point to a complexity that is not ultimately or ontologically resolvable. The Derridean 'de-sedimentation' modus operandi used here makes no claim to a relevatory hermeneutics of Hegelian essence. It does, however, utilise the various tropes of ambivalence, uncertainty, anxiety and incoherence — aspects of Boyd which may be correlated, perhaps, with his sense of the unheimlich or not being at home with himself or his environment — to reposition him in terms of his psychosexual constitution. In the process, the advocacy of aestheticism and pleasure for which he is recognised is found to be tempered and/or subverted by an overt recourse to the transgressive and 'decadent', elements irretrievably linked to his fetishization of the beautiful male body and his obsessive redeployment of the Hellenic ideal of manly love. The interpretive frameworks applied in the reclamation of the 'different' sensibility Boyd articulates by means of an alternately subtilized and strenuous challenge to sex/gender identity and behavioural norms encompass a field ranging from late nineteenth century theoretical discourse on homosexuality through to the intertextual influences of cultural innovators like Pater and Wilde. It includes reference to the literary strategies devised by Sedgwick to uncover deviance and 'erotic pathways'; it surveys the psychoanalytic hypotheses of Freud and Adler as relevant; and it pays heed to an aesthetics of the religio-erotic.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Sex among men has been existed in all society with variety of reasons. They are often stigmatized by other people. As a result, men who have sex with men (MSM) are less willing to expose themselves even if they have health problems.
To increase the awareness of the public and establish trust relationship within health organizations and MSM, Internet is a good platform to promote health concepts and health education.
In recent 10 years, Internet becomes popular. There was an increasing trend that MSM people are using Internet to seek partners. As a result, the sexually transmitted infections (STI) among MSM people had been increasing in recent years. The global population of HIV infection among MSM increased from3.9 million in 2007 to 20.4 million in 2010. It is predicted that the number will further increase to 23.3 million in 2015 (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS [UNAIDS], 2011).
In Hong Kong the HIV infection rate among MSM is still increasing around 42.4% of HIV infected cases were MSM (Department of Health, 2010).Therefore, a comprehensive health promotion program is needed to promote safer sex and prevent further spread of STI in Hong Kong.
Internet-based Sex Education Program is a health promotion program that was held in many countries. Those studies used webpage containing sex education materials such as STI knowledge, STI prevention methods, information about risky sexual behavior, knowledge of condom using skills, negotiation skills with partners and information of STI screening. Results showed that internet-based sex education program is successful in most countries.
Three electron bibliographical databases MEDLINE, CINAHL and Cochrane Library were used to search the relevant primary studies. After assessing the quality of the studies, six studies were found fulfilling the criteria of the program. By comparing the transferability and feasibility of the interventions of the six reviewed literatures, a new guideline was set. Stake holders were identified and through communication with the stake holders, a pilot study plan was designed and data collected from the pilot study would be used to modify the online health education program and provide a better nursing care for MSM clients.
Online health education program for MSM contributes a better platform to promote sexual health through internet. The program helps to prevent STI and HIV transmission and it is expected that the guideline of the program can be used by different health care settings such as hospitals or clinics when they are providing health education to MSM clients. A decrease of STI and HIV infection among MSM clients is expected since the program is carried out in public settings and hoping that MSM clients could gain benefit from it.published_or_final_version

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel SuperiorNo contexto epidemiolÃgico da aids, os homens que fazem sexo com homens tem sido uma categoria prioritÃria para aÃÃes de prevenÃÃo, devido à adoÃÃo de prÃticas sexuais desprotegidas, à aquisiÃÃo de comportamentos de risco e ao estigma e à discriminaÃÃo. Assim, uma polÃtica de prevenÃÃo efetiva para este subgrupo deve estar focada na perspectiva da minimizaÃÃo da vulnerabilidade dos grupos, por meio da aÃÃo sobre os diversos aspectos individuais, sociais e programÃticos. O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a vulnerabilidade ao HIV/aids dos homens que fazem sexo com homens a partir das prÃticas sexuais. Estudo quantitativo, transversal e correlacional, realizado em dois locais de sociabilidade gay, localizados na regiÃo central da cidade de Fortaleza, CearÃ. A populaÃÃo compreendeu os homens que fazem sexo com homens que frequentam a cena gay de Fortaleza. A amostra do estudo foi obtida por conveniÃncia e compreendeu 257 indivÃduos. O instrumento utilizado foi submetido à validaÃÃo de face e conteÃdo por 03 juÃzes e consistiu em um formulÃrio estruturado em quatro partes distintas: identificaÃÃo, identidade sexual, histÃrico sexual e prÃticas sexuais. Foram investigadas associaÃÃes entre as variÃveis dependentes e independentes do estudo. Realizou-se anÃlise bivariada usando o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson com um nÃvel de significÃncia menor que 0,05, para investigaÃÃo de associaÃÃo entre as variÃveis. A anÃlise comparativa das mÃdias foi realizada pelo ANOVA e pelo teste t de Student. Os resultados evidenciaram que quanto a caracterizaÃÃo sociodemogrÃfica, a faixa etÃria de 18 a 24 anos apresentou 45,5% (117), mÃdia 27,19 anos, 89,2% (229) eram alfabetizados, com, no mÃnimo, ensino mÃdio completo, solteiros 86,4% (222), catÃlicos 52,9% (136) e 57,6% (148) pardos. Nos dados da identidade sexual, predominou a preferÃncia pelo termo homossexual, com 44,7% (115) e o apoio familiar foi referido por 43,6% (112). A maioria dos respondentes relatou a realizaÃÃo do sexo oral, representando 95,7% (246). Enquanto, 44% (113) responderam ânÃo usoâ o preservativo no sexo oral. Quanto ao sexo anal, quase a totalidade dos sujeitos referiu a prÃtica do sexo anal, que representou 98,4% (253). Revelou-se, que 73,5% (189) dos indivÃduos assumiam o papel ativo e passivo na relaÃÃo e que 71,6% (184) dos entrevistados referiu o uso do preservativo âsempreâ. O envolvimento em relaÃÃo sexual desprotegida apresentou diferenÃa estatisticamente significante quando associado a possuir parceria fixa (p=0,000), utilizaÃÃo do preservativo no sexo oral (p=0,000) e no sexo anal (0,004). Constata-se a influÃncia marcante da vulnerabilidade individual e social na determinaÃÃo das situaÃÃes de suscetibilidades do grupo estudado frente ao HIV/aids, como a alta prevalÃncia de realizaÃÃo de sexo oral desprotegido e a associaÃÃo significativa da prÃtica sexual desprotegida com a parceria fixa. Recomenda-se uma abordagem especÃfica desses fatores para uma melhor compreensÃo da epidemia de aids nesse segmento. Conclui-se que a suscetibilidade do subgrupo de homens que fazem sexo com homens e a compreensÃo de suas particularidades constituem, ainda, um grande desafio a ser enfrentado em todos os espaÃos em que condiÃÃes de risco para aquisiÃÃo do HIV/aids estejam presentes.
In the epidemiological context of AIDS, men who have sex with men has been a priority category for prevention, due to the adoption of unprotected sexual practices, the acquisition of risk behaviors and stigma and discrimination. Thus, a policy of effective prevention for this subgroup should be focused on the perspective of minimizing the vulnerability of groups, through action on the various individual, social and programmatic aspects. The study aims to analyze the vulnerability to HIV / AIDS in men who have sex with men from sexual practices. Cross-sectional and correlational study, conducted at two sites of gay sociability, located in the central region of the city of Fortaleza, Cearà . The study population consisted of men who have sex with men attending gay scene Fortaleza. The study sample was obtained by convenience and included 257 individuals. The instrument used was subjected to face validity and content by 03 judges and consisted of a structured form into four distinct parts: identification , sexual identity and history of sexual practices and sexual practices . Data collection took place during the months of December 2010 to March 2011. Associations between the dependent and independent variables of the study were investigated. We conducted bivariate analysis using the chi- square test with a significance level less than 0.05, to investigate the association between variables. The comparative analysis of means was performed by ANOVA and the Student t test. The results showed that as sociodemographics , age range 18-24 years, had 45.5 % (117), average 27.19 years, 89.2% (229) were literate, with at least completed high school singles, 86.4% (222), Catholic 52.9%(136) and 57.6% (148) browns. The facts of sexual identity, homosexual predominant preference for the term, with 44.7% (115) and family support was reported by 43.6% (112). The majority of respondents reported performing oral sex, accounting for 95.7 % (246). While 44 % (113) answered "do not use " condoms in oral sex . As for anal sex, almost all of the subjects reported practicing anal sex, which represented 98.4 % (253). It was revealed that 73.5% (189) of the subjects assumed the active and passive role in the relationship and that 71.6 %(184) of respondents reported using condoms " always ". Engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse statistically significant difference when associated with having a regular partner (p = 0.000), use of condoms in oral sex (p = 0.000) and anal sex (0.004). Notably, there is a remarkable influence of individual and social vulnerability in the determination of situations susceptibilities of the study group on HIV / AIDS, as the high rate of performing unprotected oral sex and significant association of unprotected sexual act with a regular partner. We recommend a specific approach to these factors for a better understanding of the AIDS epidemic in this segment. It is concluded that the susceptibility of the subgroup of men who have sex with men and the understanding of their specificities, still constitute a major challenge to be faced in all areas where hazardous conditions for the acquisition of HIV / AIDS are present.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study examines how the beliefs of 139 psychologists regarding the causes of male homosexuality influenced how favorably they perceived male clients presenting in therapy with concerns about sexual orientation. The independent variables were the goal the client identified (accept or change his orientation) and the beliefs the psychologist had about the causes of homosexuality (more the result of "nature" or "nurture"). It was hypothesized that a significant interaction would be found between the client's goal from therapy and the psychologists' etiological beliefs, which would influence favorability of client perception. It was further hypothesized that psychologists would perceive a client seeking change would be perceived less favorably than one seeking to accept his orientation. To measure participants' beliefs, the Etiological Beliefs Regarding Male Homosexuality (EBRMH) scale was developed. Positive scores indicate more internal beliefs (nature), whereas negative scores reflect more external beliefs (nurture). Favorability was assessed by combining four ratings participants' made about the client: 1-client's level of pathology, 2-appropriateness of the client's goal for therapy, 3-likelihood the client will achieve his goal, and 4-participants' willingness to provide requested treatment. Data were analyzed using multiple regression, and no demographic variables made a significant contribution to the model. Both independent variables and their interaction were significant, however. The interaction was more closely examined using the Johnson-Neyman technique.The research hypotheses were largely supported. Participants viewing homosexuality as more influenced by internal factors strongly preferred clients seeking to accept their homosexuality over clients wanting to change it. Participants with more external beliefs felt more similarly regarding clients regardless of goal, though most viewed the client wanting to accept his orientation more favorably. A small group of participants (n = 8) with extremely external beliefs reported no difference in how they viewed the client regardless of his goal.The results of the present study challenge some empirically supported beliefs about judgments regarding homosexual clients. Specifically, several factors often considered to influence how favorably a homosexual client is seen (e.g. amount of clinical experience with homosexual clients, being homosexual oneself) had no real influence on favorability ratings.Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This research posed the question â How does racism in the gay community and homophobia in the Black community restrict gay Black maleâ s life chances and life opportunities?â Previous research has uncovered racist attitudes within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community as well as homophobic attitudes within the Black community. Because of conflicting social identifiers (Is it possible for one to be both homosexual and Black?) and the invisibility of a gay Black voice, it is imperative to deconstruct the relationship between gay Black men and the communities they are a part of. I utilized qualitative in-depth interviewing techniques interviewing 15 Black men aged 18 and older who identified themselves as homosexual. The questions revolved around three primary questions designed to center the researcherâ ¦How do gay Black men describe their lives, How do gay Black men describe what their lives ought to be, and What obstacles do gay Black men see effecting their opportunity to live the lives they feel they ought to be living.
The gay Black male research participants disclosed that because of Black stereotypes, gay stereotypes, acceptance with stipulations in the gay community and the black community, racism in the gay community, homophobia in the Black community, and perceptions of blackness and masculinityâ s affect on gay Black menâ ¦gay Black men live their lives with various restrictions. In other words, gay Black men do not appear to be living their lives the way they feel they ought to be living it. This work is important because a majority of the participants stated they wished to live restriction free lives. They are not able to fully be themselves in their daily lives and often have to assimilate to be accepted.Master of Science
