Men from a variety of sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds overturn myths about male sexuality and desire! Male sexuality comes of age in this provocative collection of personal essays and poetry. Male Lust's nearly 60 contributors explore emotional, social, and political aspects of sex and desire from a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and sexual orientations. Answering the long-standing challenge for men to finally theorize the complexity of their own sexual desires, Male Lust (a 2001 Lambda Gay Studies Literary Award Finalist) delves into topics such as commercial sex, sadomasochism, feminism, and white supremacy without lapsing into reactionary, knee-jerk or misogynist stances. This book offers a positive sexual vision that moves far beyond the narrow messages offered in mainstream media. Male Lust reveals thoughtful, detailed realities of gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, and same-gender-loving men's personal experiences with sex that lurk behind the stereotypes. Among the many topics that the essays, stories, and poems herein chronicle are: various facets of men's and women's experience with commercial sex, both as consumers and providers social and hormonal phenomena involved in transitioning from female to male handling the impact of white supremacy on male lust as a man of color the transformational possibilities of S/M women's responses to the lusts of the men in their lives coming of age with a “deviant” gender or sexual orientation healing from rape and other forms of sexual abuse coming to terms with loving and desiring women within a misogynist culture lust and desire within a disabled body Together, the contributors break the noisy silence surrounding male lust, challenge the dominant images of men as unemotional sexual predators, and expose the live, beating hearts, minds, and souls of real men loving, healing, and revealing themselves, each other, and the women in their lives. Male Lust heralds the next generation of thinking men--a must-read for anyone seeking cutting-edge ideas on sexuality and desire.
A psychological understanding of the problems associated with male sexuality is urgently needed, for this is one of the dimensions of the male code that has fallen the farthest and the fastest. . . . In this volume, Larry A. Morris provides what we most need at this time: A scholarly examination of male (hetero)sexuality in its broadest context. Dr. Morris surveys, in turn, the biological, developmental psychological, sociocultural, and historical perspectives on male sexuality; then takes up the issues of sexual dysfunctions, sexually transmitted diseases, and the modern men′s movement; and finally offers ′a new formula for the cultivation of healthy male sexuality.′ The writing is very clear, the material is presented in an interesting manner, and both the author′s breadth of knowledge and sense of humor come through delightfully. . . . Dr. Morris, in this outstanding volume, lights the way for all of us as we attempt to reconstruct gender roles for a new millennium. --from the Foreword by Ronald F. Levant As the traditional code of masculinity erodes, emergence of the "new real man" brings a unique challenge to the continuum of a male heterosexual development. The move toward more balanced gender roles is viewed as a must for the next millennium but the process, for many men, is wrought with the confusion and loss. Timely and clearly written, The Male Heterosexual explores biological, developmental, psychological, sociocultural, and historical perspectives of male sexuality. Readers are guided by the expertise and warm humor of author Larry A. Morris on a journey into a wide range of issues surrounding male sexual development. Morris skillfully exposes those elements that need to be discarded, discusses those needing to be retained, and concludes with a new formula for the cultivation of healthy male sexuality. The Male Heterosexual is an ideal text for courses in male or gender issues and additionally, an informative and fascinating read for academics, researchers, mental health professionals, and any sophisticated lay reader interested in a very contemporary look at this issue.
Few cultural issues alarm conservative Protestant families and communities like the seemingly ubiquitous threat of pornography. Thanks to widespread access to the internet, conservative Protestants now face a reality in which every Christian man, woman, and child with a smartphone can access limitless pornography in their bathroom, at work, or at a friend's sleepover. Once confident of their victory over pornography in society at large, conservative Protestants now fear that "porn addiction" is consuming even the most faithful. How are they adjusting to this new reality? And what are its consequences in their lives? Drawing on over 130 interviews as well as numerous national surveys, Addicted to Lust shows that, compared to other Americans, pornography shapes the lives of conservative Protestants in ways that are uniquely damaging to their mental health, spiritual lives, and intimate relationships. Samuel L. Perry demonstrates how certain pervasive beliefs within the conservative Protestant subculture unwittingly create a context in which those who use pornography are often overwhelmed with shame and discouragement, sometimes to the point of depression or withdrawal from faith altogether. Conservative Protestant women who use pornography feel a "double shame" both for sinning sexually and for sinning "like a man," while conflicts over pornography in marriages are escalated by patterns of lying, hiding, blowing up, or threats of divorce. Addicted to Lust shines new light on one of the most talked-about problems facing conservative Christians.
"Sheila speaks to both the heart and habits of the woman who is wife and mother. The lessons in this book are biblical, doable, and affordable!"--Margaret B. Buchanan From advertisements to mommy blogs to Pinterest, scenes of domestic bliss abound, painting a picture of perfection and expectation nearly impossible to live up to. Why can't you work a full-time job, stylishly clothe yourself and your children, plan a party for twelve with handmade decorations, keep your house sparkling clean without chemicals, and bake a gourmet meal in the same day? Everyone else is doing it! For many women, housework has become more than chores that need to be done; it is a symbol of identity. Sheila Wray Gregoire wants to stop that thinking in its tracks and help women back to a life of balance--for their sakes and for their families. She encourages women to shift their focus from housekeeping to relationships and shows them how to foster responsibility and respect in all family members.

Through the principles in To Love, Honor, and Vacuum, Gregoire promises readers they can grow and thrive in the midst of their hectic lives--even if their circumstances stay the same.

"We live in a time in which males are all adrift at how to properly 'become men.' Books are written on the subject, and seminars are frequently conducted by ostensible gurus of masculinity. But most of these books and seminars focus not on manliness per se, but on the achievement of "high status" manliness. The guys entering into this course of "study" don't typically want to just become men; rather, they ache to transform themselves into high-rolling alpha male studmuffins-they crave, in short, to become the sort of men who are wanted by women and envied by other men. What they seek is thus not really "manhood," but rather a certain flavor of triumphant and triumphalist masculinity, the masculinity of "winning." They seek to attain high status. It is status, more than money or even sex, that men covet the most in other men. That is to say, they covet the fact that other men besides themselves are the ones being coveted."
In this down-to-earth, practical book, author Sheila Wray Gregoire takes readers on a journey through many of her own hurts. From a broken engagement to the loss of a child, Sheila is well equipped to teach others about God's faithfulness in tough times.
