Summary of Zachary Zane's Boyslut
Get the Summary of Zachary Zane's Boyslut in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "Boyslut" by Zachary Zane is a candid memoir that delves into the author's personal journey with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), his liberal Jewish upbringing in the San Fernando Valley, and the development of his sexual identity. Zane's OCD manifested in intrusive thoughts about nudity, which he learned to manage with therapy and medication. Despite a supportive family environment that encouraged open discussions about sex and mental health, Zane struggled with sexual guilt and shame, influenced by societal sex-negativity and personal experiences, such as being scolded by his nanny for childhood sexual exploration...
Boyslut
A sex and relationship columnist bares it all in a series of essays--part memoir, part manifesto--that explore the author's coming-of-age and coming out as a bisexual man and move toward embracing and celebrating sex unencumbered by shame As a boy, Zachary Zane sensed that all was not right when images of his therapist naked popped into his head. He sometimes imagined other people naked, too, and without an explanation as to why, a deep sense of shame pervaded these thoughts. Though his therapist assured him a little imagination was nothing to be ashamed of, over the years, society told him otherwise. Boyslut is a memoir-manifesto in which Zane articulates that, even today, we live in a worl...
Queerbaiting and Fandom
In this first-ever comprehensive examination of queerbaiting, fan studies scholar Joseph Brennan and his contributors examine cases that shed light on the sometimes exploitative industry practice of teasing homoerotic possibilities that, while hinted at, never materialize in the program narratives. Through a nuanced approach that accounts for both the history of queer representation and older fan traditions, these essayists examine the phenomenon of queerbaiting across popular TV, video games, children’s programs, and more.

In Why Are You So Sensitive?, Billie shares stories of microaggressions she's both received and committed, alongside an all-star list of contributors from different backgrounds including Brian Michael Smith and Jacob Tobia. Psychologist and microaggression expert Dr. Gina Torino provides analysis and advice to help readers better understand the underlying dynamics at play and simple ways to reduce harm in their own interactions.

The Revenge Game
A feminist mystery that author Jessica Goodman called "whip-smart and lowkey hilarious", about the dark side of a hopeless romantic's seemingly perfect love story. Play to win. Alyson Benowitz is a romantic, and sometimes that gets her into trouble—like when she falls for boys who aren’t into her. But this time it’s different. Her connection with Brenton Riggs Jr., a star athlete at her elite prep school, isn’t just in her head. She’s swept up in her first real relationship. Then she hears the rumors about a competition the Sullivan-Stewart guys started to see who can get with the most girls. It’s deeply disturbing . . . if it’s true. Is Brenton with Alyson for the right reasons—or is he trying to win some gross game? And when the girls at school take matters into their own hands, things take an unsettling turn. Lies, secrets, backstabbing . . . when push comes to shove, who’ll be left standing?

It Ain't Over Til the Bisexual Speaks
'Bisexuality allows for so many ways to desire and to express that desire. Plurality is at the heart of bisexuality' The bisexual experience is, by necessity, incredibly diverse - we are likely to be attracted to different genders, form part of multiple marginalised groups, and be perceived (depending on the gender of our partner) in wildly different ways.. This anthology is a radical and ambitious attempt to capture the incredible multiplicity of bisexual identities. With essays that unpack the intersectionality and conflict of bisexuality with history, language, sexual violence, class identity, religion, polyamory, gender critical ideology, fatness, trans activism, the asylum system, literature and anarchy - this collection of bi voices demands to be heard.. With contributions from Shiri Eisner, Hafsa Qureshi, Zachary Zane, Heron Greenesmith, and many, many more...
Mapping the Monosexual Imaginary
Even though they are the largest sexual minority group in the United States, the lives, joys, and struggles of bi+ people, as well as the social structure of monosexism, are regularly overlooked in social scientific research and broader conversations about sexuality and gender. Mapping the Monosexual Imaginary interrupts this pattern of erasure by providing readers with a sociological examination of sexualities in society that places bi+ people and monosexism at the center of analysis. Through exploring bi+ peoples experiences navigating identity, community, and politics, Lain Mathers argues that to understand and challenge gender and sexual inequalities, we must first recognize and interrogate the structure of monosexism. At a time when attacks on LGBTQ people are increasing, this book offers an incisive examination of how an often-overlooked group within the LGBTQ community makes sense of their place in the world and what we can learn from attending to the specific issues that bi+ people face in society.
The Routledge Companion to the Reception of Ancient Greek and Roman Gender and Sexuality
This Companion covers a range of receptions of ancient Greek and Roman gender and sexuality. It explores ancient representations of these concepts as we define them today, as well as recent perspectives that have been projected back onto antiquity.

In exploring how different cultures have "received" the classical past, the volume investigates these cultures’ different interpretations of Greek and Roman s...
