This work provides an examination of the construction of male and female homosexualities. Although the variety of behaviours, subcategories, and meanings of same-sex sex is considerable, Murray argues that there are a few recurring types. He relates the patterns to other sociological institutions. Murray stresses that humans are more than mere "cultural carriers". Even though the roles and conceptions of a society channel desire into familiar patterns, there is considerable variability in what individuals do within these channels.
