种族和民族差异是有据可查的影响性互动的社会因素。然而，在性流动性的背景下，这些种族/民族动态大多被忽视，特别是对于双性恋者。此外，关于基于肤色和种族的性客体化（有据可查的影响个人性伴侣决定的因素）对于双性恋个体的男性、女性和/或变性伴侣可能有何不同的文献有限。从 2009 年到 2014 年，我们进行了一项混合方法研究，探讨双性恋拉丁裔男性如何构建和参与性市场。在研究的定性部分中，我们询问了行为双性恋的拉丁裔男性 (n= 148)，种族/民族、偏见、刻板印象和客观化与他们的性行为有何交叉，特别是对他们的性经历的看法、有关性伴侣的决策，以及他们在性行为中对自己种族/民族的反映。我们进行了内容分析，并确定了本文中详细描述的三个反复出现的主题：（1）双性恋拉丁裔男性基于肤色、民族和种族而物化其他男性； (2) 女性和跨性别伴侣的种族和民族不是性伴侣决策的主导因素； (3) 在我们的研究参与者的性史中，基于肤色和种族的性客体化是一种常见的、占主导地位的经历。总之，我们的研究结果表明，双性恋拉丁裔男性参与性市场，其中种族、民族和国籍差异在塑造男性对其他男性作为性伴侣的欲望方面发挥着作用，而他们本身就是欲望的对象。
Racial and ethnic differences are well-documented social factors shaping sexual interactions. However, these racial/ethnic dynamics have been mostly overlooked in the context of sexual fluidity, specifically for bisexual individuals. Furthermore, there is limited literature on how sexual objectification based on skin color and ethnicity, factors well documented to influence individual’s sexual partnering decision, might be different for male, female, and/or transgender partners of bisexual individuals. From 2009 to 2014, we conducted a mixed methods study examining how bisexual Latino men construct and participate in their sex markets. In the qualitative component of the study, we asked behaviorally bisexual Latino men (n= 148) how race/ethnicity, prejudice, stereotyping, and objectification intersected with their sexuality, specifically perceptions of their sexual experiences, decision making regarding sexual partners, and their reflection of their own race/ethnicity in their sexuality. We conducted a content analysis and identified three recurrent themes that are fully described in this article: (1) Bisexual Latino men objectify other men based on skin color, ethnicity, and race; (2) the race and ethnicity of women and transgender partners were not a dominant factor in sexual partnering decision making; and (3) sexual objectification based on skin color and ethnicity was a frequent, dominant experience throughout the sexual histories of our study participants. In summary, our findings suggest that bisexual Latino men participate in sex markets where race, ethnic, and nationality differences play a role in shaping men’s desires for other men as sexual partners and they themselves are objects of desire.
