Congratulations to UBC Sociology faculty Dr. Tony Silva for publishing his latest book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America. In the book, Dr. Silva examines why hundreds and thousands of straight-identified men, who have also had sex with other men, are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting. After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva found that they enjoy a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly identifying with straight culture.
