Masculine sexuality plays a pivotal role in shaping a republican social order, as explored in this book. The author argues that marriage not only affirmed a man's identity as a citizen but also served to regulate and manage his desires. Through this lens, the interplay between masculinity and societal structure is examined, highlighting the complexities of personal and political identities.
