“…Guiding our analysis was an interactionist and social-constructionist perspective on sexualities, sexual expressions, and behaviors (Weeks, 1986). A basic assumption of this perspective is that it is through interaction with others that we learn how to think and act sexually in different situations.…”

“…As in extract one, the participants are making sense of male rape within a phallocentric version of gender, sexuality and sexual practice, based in a model of reproductive biology (Weeks, 1986;Jackson, 1987;Nicolson, 1994). Within this framework, the idealised heterosexual male is constructed as potent and non-permeable and 'normal' sexual activity is strictly defined as penetration of the female body by the phallus (Ussher, 1997;Wood, 2000).…”

This study reports a preliminary investigation into accounting practices for male rape in conversation. Thirty men and women, in dyads, were asked to discuss an incident of male rape presented to them in a vignette. The findings showed that two main issues were discussed: the experience of the rape act and societal responses to male victims. In addition, participants established a ‘hierarchy of suffering’, where rape was judged to be worse for ‘heterosexual’ men than it is for ‘women’ or ‘gay’ men. Hegemonic, phallocentric representations of heterosexuality were mobilized to argue that acts of rape and consensual intercourse are the same for ‘gay’ men and ‘women’ and therefore less traumatic than for ‘heterosexual’ men. This obscures the violence of rape for gay men and women and exonerates perpetrators by minimizing injury sustained. Participants also argued that heterosexual victims are likely to experience ridicule for having departed from hegemonic masculinity. Arguments were constructed to avoid charges of being dismissive towards women and gay men and of victim blaming in relation to heterosexual men. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

These issues will be the third large question investigated further in the present research project.…”
