ABSTRACT

This chapter resulted from a conversation during which I talked about some of the difficulties and excitements of working with men on issues of sexuality. It is one thing to talk but quite another to write a clear exposition of the ideas and opinions that have arisen out of thirteen years of work in the field of sexuality and sexual health. In clarifying and defining what I have been doing and why, I have looked at what feminism means to me and how it relates to my work with sexuality and gender. I write as a practitioner, not an academic. My hope is that my observations might be of use to the reader in formulating new ways of viewing old questions. I offer this chapter as the starting point of a dialogue rather than as a definitive answer.
