Masculinity and sexual practices in the military
The military's organisational culture tends to condone or encourage risk-taking behaviour. Willingness to accept and engage in risk-taking behaviour is central to good soldiering and is strongly associated with readiness for combat. This core attribute of military culture might predispose soldiers to engage in other higher-risk behaviours, such as unprotected sex. Soldiers' working and living conditions, such as the high level of work-related str…
Male Soldiers' Constructions of Masculinity, Sexuality and Sexual Violence
This article explores soldiers' constructions of masculinity, sexual practices and gender-based violence, in particular sexual violence towards women. Fourteen male soldiers in the South African National Defence Force between the ages of 23 and 33 years old participated. A discourse analysis was carried out on the individual interview transcripts. This analysis highlights the pervasiveness of contradictory discourses in which men articulate a hum…
Military men and sexual practices
Despite recent reports that there is increasing condom use, generally resistance to condom use is still high. This paper focuses on factors inhibiting condom use and explores issues of responsibility for safe sex practices to prevent infection among a group of 14 South African male soldiers. Military men are particularly vulnerable to HIV because of their working conditions; for example, working far from home and being among communities where the…
Morality and sexual rights
This paper describes how South African soldiers draw on notions of gender, sexuality and morality in their constructions of identity and heterosexual sexuality. Popular discourses around HIV and AIDS in South Africa and elsewhere have highlighted the centrality of notions of morality, many of them problematic, in the response to the epidemic. In Southern Africa, the centrality of heterosexuality to HIV transmission has triggered a focus on morali…
The (Hetero)Sexualization of the Military and the Militarization of (Hetero)Sex
The article is framed in the context of the challenge of HIV/AIDS in South Africa and recognizes that military men are particularly vulnerable to infection. This is argued on the basis of their specific contexts of mobility, isolation and being among communities where they have greater economic and political power, as well as in relation to their identities and sexualities as men, and how these are exaggerated by the institutional framework of th…
Masculinities, militarisation and unsafe sexual practices
While there is growing concern about, and focus on, the role of dominant constructions of masculinity and male sexuality, this remains a marginalised area of research in the broader terrain of HIV research and intervention. Men are known to dominate women's sexual lives as they dictate the terms of the relationship and negotiate, for example, whether or not a condom will be used. Yet the focus of South African research has been predominantly on w…
