Constructing the Neoliberal Sexual Actor.

This paper examines the discourses employed by gay and bisexual men who have abandoned the practice of safe sex, and who have, over time, developed a language of responsibility to account for it. Relying on interviews with gay and bisexual men in Toronto with recent, and sometimes extensive, personal histories of unprotected sex, it is the contention of this paper that barebacking discourse displays a remarkable consistency with the leading, contemporary strands of moral reasoning circulating in advanced industrial societies today.
