Some same-sex sexual contact probably occurs everywhere. The modern, northern European and American notion that everyone who repeatedly engages in homosexual behavior is "a homosexual," a distinct "species" with unique features, is far from being universally credited. Indeed, the concept of "the homosexual" does not very well explain much of behavior, life, or categorization even in the society that popularized the model.
Breathtaking in its historical and geographical scope, this book provides a sweeping examination of the construction of male and female homosexualities, stressing both the variability of the forms same-sex desire can take and the key recurring patterns it has formed throughout history.
