Abstract

ABSTRACT. This article examines ways in which same-sex-attracted men in Dar es Salaam perceive, seek, and enact sexual pleasure, and the roles that use and nonuse of condoms play in the lived sexual lives in which such pleasure is sought and created. It also identifies several HIV risk-minimizing strategies that same-sex practicing men are employing in their sexual relations, including but not limited to condom use. The article draws on conversations and interviews conducted during 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork with and among a diverse group of same-sex-attracted men in 2008 and 2009.
