In Daredevil (2015–18) fan works, fans confront the character of Daredevil, who is portrayed in the Netflix TV series of the same name as explicitly religious, namely Catholic. This means that fan works seeking to explore sexuality, especially same-sex sexuality, must confront Catholicism's prohibition on extramarital sex, including same-sex sexual relations. I examine how fan works use Daredevil as a site from which to examine and debate Catholicism and queerness.

This article explores the poetry of Marilyn Hacker and Carl Phillips by drawing attention to the poems' representations of same-sex couples living in domestic space via two basic strategies. First, the article examines how Hacker's Love, Death, and the Changing of the Seasons dramatizes the performative work of "doing coupledom” as opposed to depicting same-sex lovers intent upon inclusion within the normative frame of marriage. The second approach the article takes is to examine the ways that Phillips's Cortège describes intimate, often unflattering, love narratives that reveal a queer sensitivity to the subject of joy/pain/desire, reflective of the degree to which queers are forced to meditate on such topics as why, how, and whom one can desire. Phillips seeks to describe a queer sensitivity, an alertness and aliveness to social and sexual relations implicit in many queer discourses on the subject of love. In their respective poetics, Love, Death and Cortège contemplate ordinary domestic space as a site of performative processing of partnered relationships, and they recommend queer living and loving practices sensitive to the complexities of joy/pain/desire.

Sex With Men

In this article, the author addresses why some straight-identified men are primarily attracted to women, but have sex with men. This typically happens because they think that extramarital sex with men is less threatening to their marriages than extramarital sex with women. Additionally, many live what they consider a “straight life” and believe that sex with men is irrelevant to their identities.

Intimate Relations

Many religious traditions attempt to regulate the sexual practices of their members. Generally, their main tool for doing so is prescribing with whom one may or may not have intimate relations. Forbidden partners might include, for example, members of the same sex, relatives, or people of other religious and ethnic groups. Additional methods for defining how and when intimate relations are permissible are also not unheard of. For example, sexual relations using certain positions or occurring on certain days or hours or in certain places might be declared sinful. The three main Bible-related religious traditions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all have in their toolboxes these various regulatory instruments; many other religious groups use them as well.

This study examines the responses of 645 (257 males and 388 females) religiously committed (attending Sunday church services at least monthly) Canadian Baptist youth (between the ages of 14 and 18 years) to the five-item Index of Sexual Attitudes. The data demonstrated that the majority of thee young people continued to espouse traditional Christian moral values, although a significant minority of them had adopted more liberal perspectives. Oral sex before marriage was judged to be usually or always wrong by 70% of the males and 75% of the females. Sexual intercourse prior to marriage was judged to be usually or always wrong by 82% of the males and 83% of the females. Sexual relations between two individuals of the same sex was judged to be usually or always wrong by 90% of the males and 81% of the females. Abortion was judged to be usually or always wrong by 83% of the males and 90% of the females. Cohabitation was regarded as more readily acceptable: 54% of the males and 61% of the females regarded an unmarried couple living together as usually or always wrong. Such high levels of endorsement for traditional Christian moral values seem to stand in stark contract with the values of many secular youth.

Forty-six homosexual men and women who were twins took part in a study of their sexuality and that of their co-twin. Discordance for sexual orientation in the monozygotic pairs confirmed that genetic factors are insufficient explanation of the development of sexual orientation. There was a high level of shared knowledge of sexual orientation between members of twin pairs, and a relatively high likelihood of sexual relations occurring with same sex co-twins at some time, particularly in monozygotic pairs. The implications of these results for the study of the origins of sexual orientation and for twin research are discussed.

A Minor

This article aims to investigate and analyze the regulation of homosexuals under Indonesian criminal law and to find out and analyze criminal law policies regarding homosexuals. The research method used in this research is normative juridical. The results of this study are same-sex sexual relations committed by homosexuals as part of a criminal act according to Indonesian criminal law, which is regulated in the provisions of Article 292 of the Criminal Code, but these provisions are limited to only regulating adults who commit homosexuality with a minor. . Homosexual acts between adult perpetrators need to be made a crime in Indonesia and can be based on three basic things, namely juridical, theoretical and sociological grounds. Suggestion After the authors conducted research on the regulation of homosexuals in Indonesian criminal law, the authors would like to suggest that it is necessary to criminalize a wider range of homosexual relationships than just those committed by adults with minors and also to same-sex sexual relations committed by fellow adults. Abstrak Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis pengaturan homoseksual menurut hukum pidana Indonesia dan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis kebijakan hukum pidana mengenai homoseksual. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah yuridis normatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Hubungan seksual sesama jenis yang dilakukan oleh homoseksual merupakan bagian dari tindak pidana menurut hukum pidana Indonesia, yaitu diatur di dalam ketentuan Pasal 292 KUHP, tetapi ketentuan tersebut terbatas hanya mengatur orang dewasa yang melakukan homoseksual dengan seorang anak di bawah umur saja. Perbuatan homoseksual antara pelaku dewasa perlu dijadikan sebagai tindak pidana di Indonesia dapat didasarkan pada tiga hal medasar, yakni dasar yuridis, teoritis, dan sosiologis. Saran Setelah penulis melakukan penelitian terhadap pengaturan homoseksual dalam hukum pidana indonesia, maka penulis ingin memberi saran yaitu bahwa perlu dilakukan kriminalisasi yang lebih luas terhadap hubungan homoseksual dari sekedar yang dilakukan oleh orang dewasa dengan anak dibawah umur diperluas juga terhadap hubungan seksual sesama jenis  yang dilakukan oleh sesama orang dewasa.

Social Subordination

This article traces public debates about sexual practices that have found their way into recent philosophical and other academic publications. It examines the ideals and standards some ethicists have proposed for guiding our sexual lives, even those lived away from the public spotlight. Many debates about sex concern sexual practices that transgress long-standing sexual mores, practices such as extramarital sex, same-sex sex, and paid sex. Debates about transgressive sexual acts often focus on whether the traditional social barriers against them are rationally defensible. Other debates about sex concern sexual practices that involve harm, coercion, or social subordination, such as rape, pornography, harassment, and ‘unsafe’ sex.

Prison Life

This qualitative study based on research conducted in a prison facility for women in Israel aims to establish the existence of an argot among women prisoners and to analyze how it reflects their subculture. This research found that the argot focuses on seven different aspects of prison life: same-sex sexual relations, loyalty, prisoner status, drugs, relations between mentally stable prisoners and mentally ill prisoners, attitudes toward the prison staff, and threats and violence. The argot concerning gender-oriented distresses was found the most common, and the authors concluded that this aspect is the most stressful and threatening in the prisoner subculture.
