It's a sexual identity that has almost nothing to do with sexuality. »Androphilia« is a manifesto full of truly dangerous ideas: that men can have sex with men and retain their manhood, that homosexuality can be about championing a masculine ideal rather than attacking it, and that the wicked, oppressive »construct of masculinity« despised by the gay community could actually enrich and improve the lives of homosexual and bisexual men. »Androphilia« is a rejection of the overloaded gay identity and return to a discussion of homosexuality in terms of desire.
