Fluid Sexuality and Gay Men
Copyright :
This workshop focuses on gay male sexual fluidity While sexual fluidity is emerging and becoming more prominent in both the academic and clinical realms, many health care professionals are still largely confused and unaware of some of the complexities and scenarios that exist among a population that does not fit neatly into the over-simplified understandings that traditionally exist around sexual orientation, sexual identity, sexual attraction and sexual pathology. Other than simply being “in the closet”, the presentation reviews some of the common scenarios and categories of men who fall into the emerging sexual classification of male sexual fluidity, who may identify as even straight or heteroflexible.
