It's odd that this book was published by a university press. There's very little about it that's academic. The author's attitude is strangely old-fashioned in an ironic sort of way. The topic is the leading edge of male sexuality. Yet there's a golly-gee "can you believe that some men are like this?" attitude that seems stuck in, or that defers to, the old binary views of straight-gay sexualities. As I see it, there is nothing really new or surprising in this book to those of us who have been paying attention.I am conflicted about how to rate this book. On the one hand, I am completely in accord with the author's thesis, and I commend the author and the Harvard press for bringing attention to the "mostly straight" trend, which I believe is very real. But I believe that this book falls short of the kind of work that a university press and a credentialed scholar ought to be doing.I need to disclose that I am the author of a book on the same subject, which was released a month before Savin-Williams' book. My book is "Why Straight Guys Love Their Gay Guys: Reviving the Roots of Male Sexuality." My book is more of a manifesto, setting forth a theory of why 50 years of progress, and gay marriage, have not brought about any improvement in the dismal statistics on the wellbeing of gay men. I try to answer the questions, "What are we missing? Is it right under our noses?"Jane Ward's "Not Straight: Sex Between Straight White Men" also is important reading on this subject, though Ward's book is more concerned with unhealthy expressions of not-straight sexualities such as fraternity hazing.My view is that the future of gay men's liberation is ready for a radical change of course. What comes next, as I see it, is a focus on gay sexuality as a natural facet of male sexuality and the rights of all men to participate in all forms of healthy sexual behavior, without regard to sexual identity. Savin-Williams' book does help us get there. Particularly for those men (not necessarily all of them are young men) for whom the not-straight identity feels right, this book is an important addition to a literature that I hope will continue to grow.
Well written. Academic, yet accessible to the average reader. Heads up/spoiler alert: The guys studied mostly did NOT participate in any gay behaviors. So it's interesting that they identified themselves as "mostly" strait. Maybe someday we'll know.
This book can be very helpful for men who are not sure where they fit in the sexuality spectrum. It is a series of enlightening interviews, not a an academic scientific investigation. It is, however, very informative if you're willing to read through interviews used a an initial study.
A series of interviews with young men which reveal some interesting attitudes regarding male same sex relationships. My perception that the younger generation of males has a general acceptance of gay friends was reinforced and I was surprised by how far the acceptance goes. The young guys had quite a range of experience with other males and it ran the gamut from acceptance of same sex behavior to bromances to physical expression. I'm glad that I read the book, I already had a positive impression of the younger generation which has been reinforced by this book.
Don't waste your time. This is an effort to tease out a new sexuality -- not straight, not bisexual. It is unpersuasive and a dull read.
This book is intended to discuss young men with a sexual orientation that is supposedly different from that of men who identify with one of the more classical labels -- heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual. In the end of the day, however, the great majority of the men in this book barely stood out from a typical straight man in the interviews they had with the author, Dr. Ritch Savin-Williams.The investigation behind this book started with an an online survey in which men described their sexual orientation and romantic attraction on a Kinsey-type scale that goes from "exclusively heterosexual" to "exclusively homosexual". The book was composed based on interviews with those men who identified as "primarily" and "mostly" but not "exclusively" heterosexual.The book certainly contains exhaustive (and exhausting) descriptions of these men's heterosexual fantasies and sex lives. However, despite describing themselves as not being exclusively heterosexual in the online questionnaire, the great majority of the interviewees vehemently denied any sexual experience, or serious fantasy, involving another man in the interviews. When challenged as to why they had described themselves as "mostly" instead of "exclusively" heterosexual before, in the online survey, these men gave explanations that were frankly banal (and surely anticlimactic to LGBT readers), such as being capable to find a man attractive -- without, however, being themselves attracted to such men -- or simply being liberal on the subject of LGBT rights. Most denied even the possibility of getting involved with another man, and the few who disclosed having had sexual desires for the same sex tended to defensively walk back that statement in rambling explanations. The same was true for romantic attraction for other men, which some of these men endorsed before but which, when talking to the author, they dismissed as being nothing more than intense feelings of friendship with their buddies, the kind of which all men experience in their teens or twenties.Savin-Williams is quite empathetic and vouches for these men's honesty, but at several points he admits the subjects are sometimes reluctant or contradictory when discussing same-sex sexuality.What is interesting is that prior surveys with men (and women) who identify as "mostly straight", paint a more exciting picture of this population, who indeed may look very distinctive from exclusive heterosexuals in important aspects of their sexuality, at least when a more appropriate investigation method is chosen.Interestingly, in an article published in 2012 in the reputed "Archives of Sexual Behavior" journal that he authored along with Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, almost half of "mostly straight" men disclosed having had sexual experiences with other men, compared with only 6% of men who self-described as exclusively heterosexual. There were also significant differences in reported same-sex attraction between these two straight groups. In another survey, authored by Joseph M. Currin, Randolph D. Hubach, and Linzi Gibson, published in 2015 in "Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity" journal, something similar was found in a sample of white men -- that sizable minority of these mostly straight men's sex fantasies are directed at men and that that they can be quite experienced with same-sex sexuality, with mostly straight men having on average 7 male sex partners.Laboratory experiments using objective measures of physical sexual attraction, such as the penile plethysmograph (which records male genital arousal to sexual pictures, tapes, or videos) as well as equipment measuring eye dilation, confirm that "mostly straight" men are a distinctive population from exclusive heterosexuals as well as homo- and bisexuals. Unfortunately, these papers were left aside in composing the main text of the book, being relegated to a thin appendix at the end of the book, despite the fact that its author was behind some of the most interesting research on the subject.The contrast between what those papers show, and what is in the book, is clear. It must be said, however, that the two surveys mentioned above were conducted with Internet samples. The interviewees had the comfort of online anonymity to disclose their experiences. However, there is something about this subject -- homosexuality in men who identify as straight -- which doesn't lend itself as a topic of rich and honest discussion in face to face interviews, which was the method chosen by the author of this book.The author's intention in writing this book was to undermine the narrative that, while female sexuality is fluid, its male counterpart is binary and rigid. Interviews with the male bisexual, however, would have driven this point home better than this book. Male bisexuality is still very much novel territory in sex research and the bisexual men in the dataset that Savin-Williams possessed truly stand out from both gay and straight men in their developmental history and sex life narratives. The same we can't say of the men studied in this book, the vast majority of whom appear no different (at least in their self-descriptions) from the typical straight man in their sexual lives and attractions.
