Male Homosexuality in Modern Japan: Cultural Myths and Social RealitiesMale Homosexuality in Modern Japan: Cultural Myths and Social Realities by Mark J. McLelland

This study is the first to look at the wide range of contrasting images of the homosexual male body in Japanese popular culture, both mainstream and gay, and relate these images to the experience of an interview sample of Japanese gay men. It analyzes the many different and contrasting images of the homosexual male body which occur throughout Japanese popular culture in books, magazines, comics, newspapers, television, theatre, film, and the Internet.
