Craigslist gay ads
Online sexual hook-ups present a singular opportunity to explore many factors of decision-making that inform sexual health. A study conducted by Eric Schrimshaw, PhD, at Columbia University's Mailman School of Common Health and Martin J. Downing, Jr., PhD, of the National Development and Research Institutes, set up evidence that men having sex with men use the Internet to find sexual partners who do not identify as same-sex attracted, either to fulfill a fantasy or because it allows anonymous sexual encounters without discovery. The findings are online in the journal, Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity, published by the American Psychological Association.

Abstract
The identity “gay Asian male” (GAM) is proposed and contested in online personal ads, where ethnicity and other apparent traits are used to describe individuals as attractive suitors and request or refuse potential partners. This paper explores the relationship between identity and craving, focusing on representations of GAM in craigslist ads, a site where men seek men for sexual encounters. In particular, it considers GAM as man-made by cultural meanings derived from characteristics set by HIV/AIDS prevention literature. Existing historical geographies of gay communities in North America, including local media representations of Vancouver’s same-sex attracted community, follow an identity politics metanarrative of gay liberation and subculture formation. This paper challenges this metanarrative, reframing Vancouver’s gay community’s formation by evaluate
