  • Title: From diminished men to conditionally masculine: sexuality and Australian men and adolescent boys with intellectual disability.
    Author: Wilson NJ, Parmenter TR, Stancliffe RJ, Shuttleworth RP.
    Journal: Cult Health Sex; 2013; 15(6):738-51. PubMed ID: 23656632.
    Abstract:
    Men and boys with intellectual disability represent a unique group who have hitherto been overlooked by researchers and theorists exploring men and masculinities. Qualitative data from an Australian ethnographic study focused on the sexual health needs of men and adolescent boys with moderate to profound intellectual disability. Findings suggest that masculinity for this group of men is more a biopsychosocial phenomenon than a social construct organised around heteronormative ideals. The conditional masculinity of the men participating in the study was based instead on a number of intrinsic and external factors, which are described in detail.
