Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Little research has challenged a naturalized conception of male (hetero) sexuality by looking at the multiple ways in which heterosexual men experience and make sense of sexuality in their everyday lives. In this article, after outlining the forms that such a conception has taken in recent Italian history, we explore how men and women deal with the issue of male pleasure. The analysis is based on interviews with seventy-one Italian men and women aged fifty to seventy. These cohorts were socialized in a highly mechanistic model of male pleasure as coinciding with orgasm and ejaculation. Some of the interviewees' biographies hint at subsequent changes in the definitions of what is pleasurable for men. These changes can be traced to the challenges of emerging new experiences and representations of women's sexuality. However, such changes do not question fully the mechanistic image of man as a sexual machine. © 2010 Maney Publishing.
