Abstract
ABSTRACTChinese people are currently the second largest visible minority group living in Canada; however, little is known about the sexual practices of Chinese youth living in Canada. Using a case study, we applied Bourdieu’s theory of social practise to illustrate how the sexual practices of a young Chinese immigrant man, Matthew, were shaped by his primary and secondary habituses, the cultural capital he held and competed for in each of the social fields he engaged in, and the prevailing patriarchal and heteronormative values in Canadian society (meta-field) that promote sexual conquests, hegemonic masculinity and homosocial solidarity. To develop effective sexual health promotion for Chinese youth living in Canada, multidisciplinary collaboration is needed to address the dynamic interplay of complex structural conditions that limit racialised young immigrant men’s options in life and put them at increased risk of engaging in street violence, alcohol and drug use and unsafe sexual practices.
