Author: Dave Holmes File Type: pdf Bringing together theory and public health practice, this interdisciplinary collection analyses three forms of nonconventional or radical sexualities bareback sex, BDSM practices, and public sex.

While the collection contributes to current research in gender and sexuality studies, it does so distinctly in the context of empirical investigations and discourses on critical public health. *Radical Sex Between Men Assembling Desiring-Machines* will be of interest to advanced undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and researchers in gender and sexuality studies, sexology, social work, anthropology, and sociology, as well as practitioners in nursing, medicine, allied health professions, and psychology. **Review Mid-century ethnographers mapping the deviant, exotic, gay subcultures such as cruising, the baths and tearoom, could not have anticipated the civil liberties discourses that increasingly focused on the person and identities.

These sophisticated essays draw on post-structuralism, queer theory and other theoretical perspectives to provide a timely, nuanced interdisciplinary re-imagining of power and resistance of erotic bodily practices in contemporary discursive formations of rad sex.
