The author defines bugchasing, charts its history and contexts, and considers how it has changed in the age of internet and PrEP. Through the participants, their experiences and contexts, this text also theorizes about sexual fantasies, seeking to understand how people define sexual fantasies and use the internet as a space to navigate their desires, meet others, and find support. Chapters also consider the practical implications of fantasy, most notably, how fantasies influence men’s decisions around HIV prevention and care. This book speaks to renewed interest in both the AIDS crisis and the sociology of everyday life to illustrate how fantasies such as bugchasing appear, evolve, and adapt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars focused on queer studies, sexuality studies, gender studies, and healthcare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-09-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031113512\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-11352-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 121\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44522001432716,"sku":"9783031113512","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031113512.jpg?v=1776692706","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031113512","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
