Who Does What?: Choosing Roles for Gay Couples
Briefly

Male couples often face challenges due to a lack of role models; historical norms impose the need for hyper-masculinity, complicating relational dynamics and personal acceptance.
For many gay men, feelings of being 'different' from a young age lead to a rejection of their own masculine identity, intensifying challenges in relationships with male partners.
The absence of community resources for gay couples exacerbates struggles, particularly when societal norms and expectations differ significantly from those of heterosexual relationships.
For men from conservative or traditional backgrounds, coming out remains a daunting process, further complicating their journey to establish and maintain healthy partnerships.
