We have recently researched Japanese university students’ sexual lives for a few years and published as a book in Nov. 2011: “talking about sex with college students: contemporary sexuality through interviews”.   I was parted for gay students’ sexual reality at the research and described how much they suffer from their lives.  After the book published, I used that as a textbook in some universities.  Then I happened to meet some gay students.   The more I collected their narratives as a gay, the more I questioned why they so suffered from their sexuality are.  I noticed a paradox of the narratives as a gay or that of ‘gender identity disorder’; the more they talk, the more they are suffered.  I wish I could suggest some case studies of their narratives what is to against ‘male narratives’ from their words and why they suffered from such unimportant miss much from their identities.
