      Gender, HIV and Risk
    • Through extensive interviews with young male athletes in the U.S. and U.K., the book examines the evolving perceptions of masculinity and heterosexuality among jocks. It highlights how these athletes challenge traditional norms, showing a growing acceptance of behaviors that were once deemed taboo for fear of being labeled gay. This shift reflects broader societal changes in attitudes toward gender and sexuality, illustrating a new generation's comfort with fluid identities and expressions.
