For most American men, the loss of virginity through the act of penile-vaginal penetration is a significant step toward adult masculinity, manhood, and heterosexuality. And while many men will experience other aspects of sexual behavior that are pleasurable, none will reify their masculinity more than “straight” sex (or what Carole Vance calls “meat and potatoes” and Pat Califia calls “vanilla” sex). In the texts examined here, men who fail to accomplish this act—whatever the cause—have demonstrated significant doubts about their own subjective experiences of masculinity. That most heterosexual men appear to consider the erect penis as the only means toward sexual fulfillment indicates a narrowness of thought that doesn’t take into account what has been learned about the practices of alternative sexualities. I define heteronormativity as the cultural inclination to position heterosexuality as the default socio/sexual experience—perhaps the grandest of “grand narratives.” What I mean by this is that heterosexuality is viewed as the expected path of sexual development. A rhetoric of heteronormativity not only upholds this expectation, but grants the experience of heterosexuality unearned power and privilege through the repetitive endorsement of its social, political, and cultural values, both real and imagined. And it does all of this by pretending that other ways of being a socio/sexual human being don’t exist. Stevi Jackson writes:

You want the convenience of ordering your Viagra online. You want to have it delivered right to your home. And you want the right product delivered in a timely manner. It’s not too much to ask.
But there are a lot of online pharmacies out there who drop the ball when it comes to customer service. How do you know which ones make the grade? We’ve discovered that for you.
We test each online pharmacy we work with. They have to get a high quality product delivered in a reasonable time. They need to have a great support staff when we call them about the product. They need to have a rapid response to issues or we simply won’t promote them.
We randomly retest each of the online pharmacies we work with to make sure they continue to give the great customer service that caught our attention in the first place.
