  abstract: "Cruising Culture provides a critical examination of competing understandings and experiences of promiscuity, both in post-war American gay culture and in American culture more broadly." "Ben Gove challenges normative dichotomies between 'good' monogamous sexualities and 'bad' promiscuous sexualities by illustrating the inherent promiscuousness of all sexual desire, regardless of consciously expressed attitudes to sexual practice." "The reader is guided through the maze of conflicting attitudes towards promiscuity in American gay culture with innovative readings of texts by influential, but hitherto critically neglected, authors such as Andrew Holleran, Larry Kramer, John Rechy, Edmund White and David Wojnarowicz. The book also draws on numerous critical and historical perspectives to present an intricate picture of promiscuous sexual life in contemporary America." "Cruising Culture is for gay/lesbian/queer studies, gender studies and American studies, and for anyone else seeking a thorough discussion of the complex debates surrounding promiscuity."--Jacket.
