Androphilia: Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity

by Jack Malebranche

Androphilia: Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

At once a self-assured embrace of homosexuality and an indictment of mainstream gay culture's celebration of perpetual victimhood, effeminacy and feminist gender theory, Androphilia presents homosexual desire in men not as a fixed orientation, but as a sexual fetish or taste. Jack Malebranche rejects the gay moniker completely, using instead the term androphilia — literally, "the love of men" — to specifically discuss the unique dynamic of sexual desire and brotherly love between adult men.

Writing off the modern gay movement as "latter day Uranism" and the gay identity as the appropriation of an emasculating stigma, Malebranche calls instead for the celebration of innate masculinity and an end to the self-loathing and male-bashing that characterizes contemporary gay discourse. A rare howl of street-level dissent against a culture defined and promoted by liberal academics, activists and professional victims, Androphilia is sure to challenge, anger and perhaps even inspire.

Synopsis:

Presenting homosexual desire in men as a sexual fetish or taste rather than a fixed orientation, the author rejects the gay moniker completely and discusses the unique dynamic of sexual desire and brotherly love between adult men.

About the Author

Jack Malebranche got his first job at 13, working the line in a turkey slaughterhouse during the holiday season. He’s been an office manager, a public relations hack, a bad salesman, a worse waiter, a burger flipper, a coffee slinger, a cubicle dweller, a stockboy, a barback, a pastry cook, a go-go dancer, a nightclub promoter and the graveyard shift desk attendant at a seedy residence hotel.

Raised in the bosom of Amish country in rural Pennsylvania, he’s since lived in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and has had ample opportunity to observe homosexuals in the wild. He currently lives in Portland, Oregon, where he paints and sells velvet portraits of an unsavory nature.
