This groundbreaking book offers the first comprehensive sociological and anthropological analysis of male homosexuality in modern rural Thailand. Through in-depth interviews with 25 young same-sex attracted men, it delves into the evolving perspectives and narratives of these individuals regarding their sexuality. Spanning approximately 18 months, the interviews capture the transformative journey of the men as they navigate the pivotal transition from high school to adulthood, often marked by their relocation to urban areas for education or employment.
During this period, the men encounter new ideas about gender and sexuality, leading to a significant shift in their moral frameworks. Many of them engage in sex work, either as a means of survival or out of curiosity, further expanding their understanding of the complex interplay between sex, money, and power.
The book provides valuable insights into the Thai sex/gender system, shedding light on how it has been influenced by processes of globalization, the rise of the Internet and mobile phones as tools for dating and romance, and the broader social and cultural dynamics of rural Thailand. It challenges prevailing stereotypes and provides a nuanced understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in this context.
Overall, this pioneering work contributes significantly to our understanding of male homosexuality in rural societies and offers valuable lessons for policymakers, educators, and advocates working towards LGBTQ+ rights and equality.
