Product Description
A wide range of research indicates that partners in gay male and bisexual relationships do not necessarily expect monogamy or see it as an important issue. Although the frequency of gay male and bisexual non-monogamous partnership tends to be widely acknowledged in social science literature, these relationships have rarely been explored in more detail. By providing rich empirical data, thoughtful analysis and theoretical debate this book aims at closing this gap in the sociological literature on sexual and intimate relationships. More specifically it explores the diversity of gay male and bisexual relationship practices in the context of heteronormative citizenship and intra-social movement conflict and highlights the complexity of power relations that circumscribe queer people's relationship and sexual lives. The book provides a solid basis for a wider investigation into sexual culture, discourse, citizenship, politics, and ethics and will therefore have international appeal.
