More about the book
Exploring the complexities of modern heterosexuality, the book delves into the sexual fluidity experienced by straight white men, contrasting it with the more accepted fluidity of women. It examines various contexts, such as fraternity hazing and online encounters, where straight men engage in same-sex activities without challenging their heterosexual identity. The author argues that these acts reinforce traditional notions of masculinity and whiteness, presenting a new perspective on heterosexuality as a unique mode of engaging in homosexual sex, marked by privilege and pretense.
