Straight Men Are A Lot More Bisexual Than You Might Think. Pornhub recently released data on the top porn searches broken down by gender.
The survey found “gay male porn” as the second highest searched topic by straight women. This begs the question: What about straight dudes? How many of them are also looking at man-on-man porn? And what might be their motivations for doing so? Being the curious gays that we are, we decided to dig a little deeper, scouring the internet for clues. We recently reported on the growing number of heterosexual men who have begun openly embracing booty eating, both as givers and receivers. In our research, we learned that straight men don’t just watch gay porn for sex tips. So stay with us here as we take a peek at what guys are saying online… In a forum titled “straight…but wack off to gay porn, anyone else ;)” on the totally reliable internet discussion website Topix, heterosexual “Mikey” from Trenton, NJ confesses: “Whoknew” from Georgiana, AL responds: Well mikey, i have to go with you on this one.
Very interesting. Virginie Despentes. Power, Pomp, and Plaid: Lumbersexuals and White, Heteromasculine Pageantry. By D'Lane Compton and Tristan Bridges, Dec 25, 2014, at 09:00 am Image source: “Lumbersexual” recently entered our cultural lexicon.
What it means exactly is still being negotiated. At a basic level, it’s an identity category that relies on a set of stereotypes about regionally specific and classed masculinities. Lumbersexuals are probably best recognized by a set of hirsute bodies and grooming habits. Similar to hipster masculinity, “lumbersexual” is a classification largely reserved for young, straight, white, and arguably class-privileged men.
One of the key signifiers of the “lumbersexual,” however, is that he is not, in fact, a lumberjack. Whether the roots of the lumbersexual are a cultural shift toward environmentalism, rebellion against the grind of 9-5 office jobs, or simply recognition that outdoor gear is just more comfortable, functional and durable, the lumbersexual is on the rise (here). Many aspects of masculinity are “comfortable.” Les Hommes catholiques, un point aveugle des études de genre ? Réflexions sur l’étude des masculinités en contexte catholique (France, XIXe-XXe) Je vous propose aujourd’hui la reproduction d’une communication à deux voix d’Anthony Favier et moi au colloque ”histoire des femmes, histoire du genre, histoire genrée”, à Paris 8, en décembre 2013.
Nous avions réfléchi sur la masculinité catholique et la manière dont on l’étudie dans le champ des gender studies. « Pendant des années, la collusion entre les femmes et le catholicisme demeura un impensé historiographique » Bruno Dumons résume ainsi la rencontre tardive entre l’histoire du genre et l’histoire religieuse. Cette dernière se produit progressivement au cours des années 1990. Mais, sans la remettre en cause, nous souhaiterions ici renverser sa question : et si c’étaient les hommes qui étaient les impensés de l’historiographie ? Les historien.e.s de l’époque contemporaine semblent en effet peu sensibles à l’étude de la masculinité en contexte catholique.
Ils ont considéré comme des faits acquis l’anticléricalisme masculin et la déprise religieuse des hommes. Et au XXe siècle ?
