The central intention of this article is to challenge orthodoxies regarding hetero-masculinity—orthodoxies which have tended to constitute it as a static monolithand queer as the only potential site for a less oppressive sexuality. In questioningsuch orthodoxies, I consider the possibilities for (libidinal)heterodoxyin relation tohetero-masculinity. The term heterodoxy enables thinking about hetero-masculinitydifferently. In developing an alternative approach to hetero-masculinity, I turn to thequestion of how a transgressive hetero-masculinity might be conceptualized. Such aquestion complicates our understandings of sexuality and social change and opens upnew, more positive theoretical and empirical directions which move beyond existingorthodoxies.
