ABSTRACT
As social transformations and new forms of sexualities are studied with close interest by social scientists, the question regarding the content and the formation of heterosexual culture that makes and remakes itself on a daily basis through forming boundaries and normalities remains theoretically less explored. Yet such a concern calls for further elaboration of the very boundaries in sexuality that differentiate public from private, intimate from distant. Indeed, in their pioneering article, Berlant and Warner discuss sex and sexuality as something “mediated by public” and argue that heterosexual culture creates privacy in order to identify and operate itself and preserve its own coherency. Albeit private, intimacy “also involves an aspiration for a narrative about something to be shared (1998: 281).
