Men, bodywork, health and the potentiality of performance and image-enhancing drugs
In a qualitative study on masculinity, embodiment and sexuality, we interviewed men who were recreational gym-goers about their bodywork practices in Melbourne, Australia. We also asked whether the men had used performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs) as an adjunct to their bodywork practices. While none had used PIEDs, all were considering, or had considered, using them. We found that participants held varying opinions on PIED use and those…
‘Damn, Channing Tatum can move!’: Women’s accounts of men’s bodies and objectification in post-feminist times
This paper explores how women think about men’s bodies as objects of desire. It reports on one part of a larger qualitative study on men’s bodywork practices in contemporary Australia. Drawing on material from three focus groups with 24 Australian women of varying ages, sexual orientations and backgrounds, the paper considers how women experience, understand and reflect on their desire for men and men’s bodies. It also explores themes such as the…
‘Technology, hormones, and stupidity’: The affective politics of teenage sexting
The last several years in Anglophone societies have seen an explosion of anxiety about teenage ‘sexting’. Legislators are racing to have laws designed that can keep pace with new technologies and the exchange of sexually explicit material. However, in the absence of laws crafted with sexting in mind, police, parents, and prosecutors in many jurisdictions are sometimes responding by charging some teenagers with child pornography, sexual harassment…
The ‘Second Sexual Revolution’, Moral Panic, and the Evasion of Teenage Sexual Subjectivity
Across much of the Anglophone West, the 1960s played host to a moral panic over the sexual behaviour of young people. Claims of rapidly rising rates of premarital sexual experimentation, teenage pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases filled media reports and prompted government, community, and medical action. This article examines an Australian response to this 'crisis' of teen sex. Notes John Kobler (1968) 'Sex Invades the Schoolhouse', Sa…
Hot for Teacher: The Cultural Erotics and Anxieties of Adolescent Sexuality
This article takes popular media scandals surrounding cases of female secondary school teachers charged with sexual offences against male students as its point of inquiry. Using the infamous story of former American schoolteacher Debra Lafave as a case study, it examines the over-determined dynamics of fascination, eroticisation and anxiety structuring the representation and reception of this case and others like it. The article argues that the '…
The Homosexualization of Pedophilia: The Case of Alison Thorne and the Australian Pedophile Support Group
Homophobias: Lust and Loathing across Time and Space
What is it about "the homosexual" that incites vitriolic rhetoric and violence around the world? How and why do some people hate queers? Does homophobia operate differently across social, political, and economic terrains? What are the ambivalences in homophobic discourses that can be exploited to undermine its hegemonic privilege? This volume addresses these questions through critical interrogations of sites where homophobic discourses are produc…
Subjectivity under Erasure: Adolescent Sexuality, Gender, and Teacher-Student Sex
This article offers a reading of a recent Australian teacher-student sex scandal in order to interrogate the relationship between gendered subjectivity and cultural codes of gender. The questions of whether gender ought to make a difference to how we understand instances of so-called “intergenerational sex” and whether cultural codes accurately reflect sexual subjectivity are posed. It is argued that while cultural codes are not external or equiv…
Historicizing (Bi)Sexuality: A Rejoinder for Gay/Lesbian Studies, Feminism, and Queer Theory
One of the principal aims of queer theory has been to challenge heteronormative constructions of sexuality and to work the hetero/homosexual structure to the point of critical collapse. Despite an epistemic location within this very structure, however, the category of bisexuality has been largely marginalized and even erased from the deconstructive field of queer theory. This article explores some of the factors behind this treatment of bisexuali…

The emergence of the paedophile in the late twentieth century
This article explores the cultural and historical conditions structuring the emergence of the category of the ‘paedophile’ in Western discourse in the latter part of the twentieth century. It argues not only that the ‘paedophile’ was an outgrowth of social and political power struggles around questions of normative masculinity and male sexuality, but also that homophobia played a central role in its formation. In addition to regulating social and…

Historicizing Affect, Psychoanalyzing History: Pedophilia and the Discourse of Child Sexuality
Within the last two decades in Australia, Britain, and the United States, we have seen a veritable explosion of cultural panic regarding the problem of pedophilia. Scarcely a day passes without some mention in the media of predatory pedophiles or organized pedophile networks. Many social constructionist historians and sociologists have described this incitement to discourse as indicative of a moral panic. The question that concerns me in this art…
