Abstract
At any given time in a culture, there will be many competing masculinities in play, all available to be discursively reproduced by speakers. But of these competing masculinities, one will predominate. It is this form of masculinity — hegemonic masculinity — that I shall focus on in this chapter.1 My aim is to explore the role of heterosexuality in the formation of contemporary masculinities in Britain, in particular in the formation of hegemonic masculinity, drawing on a database of spontaneous conversation collected over the last 10 years or so.
