Abstract

The identity “gay Asian male” (GAM) is proposed and contested in online personal ads, where ethnicity and other seeable traits are used to describe individuals as attractive suitors and request or refuse potential partners. This paper explores the relationship between identity and longing, focusing on representations of GAM in craigslist ads, a site where men seek men for sexual encounters.

Downing, Jr., PhD, of the National Development and Research Institutes, create evidence that men having sex with men use the Internet to find sexual partners who do not identify as lgbtq+, either to fulfill a fantasy or because it allows anonymous sexual encounters without discovery.

To inspect the subgroup of men searching non-gay-identified (NGI) men in the online sexual marketplace, the researchers reviewed 1, Internet personal ads posted on Craigslist and selected for analysis and performed comparisons of two categories of personal ads: those seeking encounters with NGI men, including straight, multi-attracted , married, curious, and men on the "down low" (those who usually identify as heterosexual but have sex
