  • A Brief Amicus Curiae
    In the Case of Lyle v. Warner Bros. Television Productions, et. al.: A Brief Amicus Curiae Prof. Russell K. Robinson* INTRODUCTION I wrote this amicus brief in connection with the California Su- preme Court's review of Lyle v. Warner Bros. Television.1 Thirteen other law professors from several elite law schools joined the brief. As a writer's assistant for the hit television sitcom Friends,Amaani Lyle was charged with recording the conversations in the writers' room and producing a transcript, which would sometimes lead to jokes and plots for the sitcom. In this position, Lyle alleges, she was routinely subjected to crude sexual conduct and expression in violation of Cali- fornia's Fair Housing and Employment Act, which bans various forms of discrimination, including verbal sexual harassment.2 The Respon- dents, including Friends writers who were Lyle's supervisors, argue that their crude sexual conduct was an indispensable means of developing gags, dialogue and story lines for Friends, which depicts the lives of sexually active adults. This case attracted my attention because it involves several diffi- cult and interesting legal issues that have rarely been addressed by * Acting Professor, UCLA School of Law. The author would like to thank Kimberl6 Crenshaw, Adam B. Wolf and Noah Zatz for critical encouragement and advice in writing this brief. I am also very grateful to the following professors who decided to join the brief: Cynthia G. Bowman, Devon Carbado, Kimberl Crenshaw, Laura Gomez, Cheryl Harris, Kenneth L. Karst, Charles J. Ogletree, Deborah L. Rhode, Dorothy E. Roberts, Leti Volpp, Adam Winkler, Kimberly A.

  • EXPLORING SEXUAL EXCLUSIVITY AMONG INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS of SAME-SEX, MALE COUPLES in LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS by BRYAN R. CAMPBELL
    EXPLORING SEXUAL EXCLUSIVITY AMONG INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF SAME-SEX, MALE COUPLES IN LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS by BRYAN R. CAMPBELL submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the subject PSYCHOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: PROFESSOR JUAN A. NEL February 2020 i DECLARATION Name: Bryan R. Campbell Student number: 58548793 Degree: PhD in Psychology Qualification code: 98555 I declare that Exploring Sexual Exclusivity Among Individual Members of Same-Sex, Male Couples in Long-Term Relationships is my work. The full extent of referenced sources have been provided. This work was not submitted previously toward any degree at any university. ______________________ __________________ Signed: Bryan R. Campbell Date: 9 February 2020 ii ABSTRACT Queer studies have not adequately considered gay men seeking sexual exclusivity within long- term relationships. In contrast, the emphasis has been on understanding evolving queer norms. Homonormativity has been informing sexual permissiveness. In accordance, and contrasting gay men seeking sexual exclusivity, gay, male couples tended to use relationship agreements to stipulate guidelines for extradyadic sex. This study was inspired by my inability—as a counsellor of gay men seeking sexual exclusivity—to provide them with credible insights to better understand their goals. Representing an initial step in generating practical knowledge, it was anticipated that my counselling clients could benefit from an exploration of lived experiences rather than having to rely on theoretical inferences and opinions. “How” and “why” participants maintained sexual exclusivity were the main targets of discovery. Eleven gay, Canadian men aged thirty-three and older, in relationships of five years or longer, participated in semi- structured interviews in-person or via video chat.

This research evaluates discussions of pegging, a gender non-conforming sex practice within heterosexual sex whereby women anally penetrate men. Data were collected from the website Reddit and its subreddit r/sex. 3,485 comments posted to 30 discussion threads were analyzed for common themes. Findings suggest that pegging confuses gendered expectations for “having sex”. Additionally, heteronormativity and homophobia were found to structure heterosexual interactions, including the ways in which gender and sexual identities, desire, and bodies are understood.

In the large body of literature on anal sex, only two academic articles have been published on anoreceptive heterosexual males (ARHMs), despite evidence of this type of sexuality dating back to Ancient Egypt and Greece. A review of the literature suggests that the lack of empirical research on ARHMs is due to compulsory heteronormativity, which can instill sexual shame in those with nonconforming sexual preferences. Some ARHMs are BDSM-oriented, and given that BDSM behavior and identity are also stigmatized, BDSM-oriented ARHMs have an additional concealable status that is subject to prejudice. Skills such as higher level communication and self-reflection often inform BDSM interactions and relationship structures, therefore, BDSM-oriented ARHMs may have more opportunity to develop skills to offset shame and stigma, and may take pride as well as pleasure in subverting traditionally heteronormative anoreception roles. 1New York University, New York, NY, USA Corresponding Author: Dulcinea Alex Pitagora, Silver School of Social Work, New York University, 110 Lafayette Street, suite 501, New York, NY 10013, USA.
