Prior research with heterosexual and gay men suggests that heteronormative, hegemonic masculine norms influence sexual behaviors, including in relation to sexual health, and in sex between men, positioning in anal intercourse. This qualitative study offers an in-depth account of how bisexual men's beliefs about masculinity and about the gendered nature of certain sexual behaviors may influence their experiences of sex with women and men, and the sexual practices they engage in. Twenty-two bisexual men participated in one-to-one, semi-structured interviews, where they were asked about their experiences of sex with women and men in relation to their beliefs about masculinity. A reflexive thematic analysis identified the influence of prevailing discourses of heteronormativity and hegemonic masculinity on sexual experiences and behaviors. Participants' beliefs about masculinity and the gendered nature of certain aspects of sex influenced experiences relating to sexual performance, sexual assertiveness, positions adopted, practices engaged in, and how gender was enacted in sexual encounters. Sex with women was experienced as more masculine than sex with men: Participants described feeling more sexually assertive than their sexual partners, in control of the encounter, and responsible for facilitating their partners' sexual pleasure. Sex with men was experienced as more egalitarian and provided favorable opportunities to relinquish sexual control and responsibilities around facilitating pleasure, and to feel less masculine, including by engaging in receptive anal intercourse. Findings therefore indicate that, for some bisexual men, masculinity is highly salient, influencing a range of sexual behaviors and experiences in sex with women and with men.

“我觉得与女人发生性关系比被男人性交更阳刚”：男子气概和双性恋男性与女性和男性发生性关系的经历。


先前对异性恋和男同性恋者的研究表明，异性恋规范、霸权的男性规范会影响性行为，包括与性健康有关的行为，以及在男性之间的性行为中，的位置。这项定性研究深入解释了双性恋男性对男子气概和某些性行为的性别本质的信念如何影响他们与女性和男性发生性关系的经历，以及他们所从事的性行为。22 名双性恋男性参加了一对一的半结构化访谈，他们被问及他们与女性和男性发生性关系的经历，以及他们对男子气概的信念。一项反思性主题分析确定了异性恋和霸权男子气概的流行话语对性体验和行为的影响。参与者对男子气概和性某些方面的性别性质的信念影响了与性行为、性自信、采取的立场、从事的做法以及性别在性接触中如何表现相关的经历。与女性发生性关系比与男性发生性关系更男性化：参与者描述感觉比性伴侣更自信，可以控制性接触，并负责促进伴侣的性快感。与男性发生性关系被认为更加平等，并为放弃性控制和促进快乐的责任提供了有利的机会，并感觉不那么男子气概，包括通过进行接受性的。因此，研究结果表明，对于一些双性恋男性来说，男子气概非常突出，影响着与女性和男性发生性关系的一系列性行为和经历。
