Pratiche sessuali a "rischio" in un campione di lavoratori sessuali italiani. Dai copioni sessuali tradizionali all'attore sessuale neoliberale?
2022
In this article, we deal with the so-called ‘risky sexual behaviours’ and the spread of HIV/AIDS among the community of MSM (men who have sex with other men). For a long time, both the sociological analysis and the medical and epidemiological approach studied the behaviour of the gay population as “inherently” more problematic in terms of spreading the human immunodeficiency virus. For these studies, even more dangerous are those men who sell sex and sexual services. Starting from a sample of twenty-one male sex workers in Italy and of the use or misuse of condoms during encounters with their male clients, this contribution will try to understand how ‘risky sexual practices’ (like barebacki…

Sex and Sexuality

Abstract Symbolic interactionist approaches to sexuality state that human beings become sexual as they become whatever else and learn sexual definitions and sexual meanings just like they learn any other kind of meaning. Therefore, interactionist analysis shifts the focus of inquiry into sex from being sexual towards becoming sexual, which takes into account how sexualities are produced, organized, and negotiated, rather than tracing their sources in an immutable (conception of) nature. Sociosexual meanings give people the chance to define themselves and others sexually, to construct their sexual self and doing sexual things together in the shaping of more complex sexual choreographies and …

MASCHILITÀ OMOSESSUALI TRA SESSO E AMICIZIA. COME LE ‘DATING APPS’ RISCRIVONO I COPIONI SESSUALI NEL XXI SECOLO
2021
This paper analysis sexual scripts theory in relation to gay men courtship, love relationships, and casual sex. The aim is to understand how gay masculinity is evolving in the 21st Century. Previous research has reinforced the concept that gay men follow heterosexual masculinity and scripts in their relationships with other men. Here, analysing data from the most used gay dating app ‘Grindr’, we try to understand the balance among the different needs gay men in Italy express in their daily lives: from friendship to love, from casual sex to long-term relationships. Indeed, applying the heterosexual cultural script to gay men is problematic because hegemonic masculinity is also reinforced in …
Copioni sessuali
2016
«Il Sé, nel momento in cui diviene l’attore di una sceneggiatura [sessuale] diventa anche produttore di se stesso, gestisce risorse, investe in vantaggi a lungo termine e in liquidità a breve termine proprio quando diventa drammaturgo di se stesso». Il volume raccoglie una delle più recenti elaborazioni del primo e coerente approccio sociologico della sessualità di cui gli autori, John H. Gagnon e William Simon, sono fondatori, per la prima volta presentato al pubblico italiano. Pur «essendo» sessuali (ovvero disponendo di un corredo cromosomico, gonadico, genetico e biologico), gli individui diventano sessuali. Nasciamo all’interno di un contesto sociale che ci fornisce repertori culturali…
