Latino male bisexuality has been studied for the most part with a focus on men who have sex with men (MSM) and with little attention to sexual desire. The goal of this article is to present a comprehensive understanding of how sexual desire is organized, enacted through sexual activity, and interpreted in the sexual lives of bisexually-active Latino men. To achieve this aim, an analysis was made of 18 sexual histories of bisexually active Latino men who participated in a two-year ethnographic study. Four configurations of sexual desire were constructed to reflect what was found in this population of bisexually-active Latino men: (a) lifetime homoerotic desire and casual sex with women; (b) lifetime heteroerotic desire, but commercial sex with men; (c) lifetime heteroerotic/transgender desire; (d) lifetime sexual desire for women and men. These configurations are explored in detail in this article. The analysis presented here is intended to offer insights into the overall study of Latino male bisexuality and into the foundations for the design of HIV and STI prevention programs directed toward bisexually-active Latino men and their partners.
拉丁裔男性双性恋在很大程度上是围绕与男性发生性关系的男性(MSM)展开研究的,而对性欲关注甚少。本文的目的是全面了解性欲是如何组织起来的,如何通过性活动表现出来的,以及在性活跃的拉丁裔双性恋男性的性生活中是如何被解读的。为实现这一目标,对参与一项为期两年的人种学研究的18名性活跃的拉丁裔双性恋男性的性史进行了分析。构建了四种性欲形态,以反映在这群性活跃的拉丁裔双性恋男性中所发现的情况:(a)终生的同性恋欲望以及与女性的随意性行为;(b)终生的异性恋欲望,但与男性进行商业性行为;(c)终生的异性恋/跨性别欲望;(d)对女性和男性的终生性欲。本文将详细探讨这些形态。这里呈现的分析旨在为拉丁裔男性双性恋的整体研究提供见解,并为针对性活跃的拉丁裔双性恋男性及其伴侣的艾滋病毒和性传播感染预防项目的设计奠定基础。
