Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the medicalization of male sexuality. The author demonstrates how medicine has taken control over the male body and sexuality, established norms of sexuality, and also how sexuality is reduced to sexual practices and phallicism. The author makes an attempt to resign from the heteronormative way of perceiving male sexuality – which is supported by medical discourse – and focuses on a variety of ways in which homosexual or transsexual male sexuality is constructed.
