ABSTRACTIn this paper, we explore negotiations around sexuality and gender diverse identities together with sexual practices, and the materialities of bodies, as they relate to the sampling and recruitment of LGBTQ+ participants in health social science research. The basis of our research note is a reflection on our experiences of undertaking a study on the social dimensions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the context of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

INTRODUCTION Bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have received comparatively little attention relative to other areas in which antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern (Seña et al., 2020; Williamson & Chen, 2020). Yet, STIs have widespread impacts, which are worsening as antibiotics become less effective (Unemo et al., 2017).

We currently exist in an era of unprecedented and increasing data. This era of data proliferation is particularly acute for health and medicine, which, as critical aspects of social funding, are saturated with knowledge. Yet much of the data produced is not actually utilised in service of better care. With the rise of AI, our ability to access information generated globally and examine large sets of data has never been greater.

Have you ever felt a sudden pang of sadness? A bird seems to stop and look you in the eye. A photo drops out of a messy drawer from long ago, in the mundanity of a weekend spring clean. Your day is immediately derailed, unsettled. You are pulled into something you thought was past. And yet, in being pulled back, you are grateful, reconnected, and grief-stricken all over again. “You’ll get over it”. “Give it time”. “You need time to move on”. These are common cultural refrains in the face of loss.

THE CONVERSATION There’s a common perception that friendships among young men are superficial – but this isn’t necessarily true. Male friendships are often presented in the media and popular culture as relatively superficial, competitive and lacking in emotional depth. With this in mind, it’s not entirely surprising that some people seem to think men have a problem with friendships. While women may be especially quick to draw this conclusion, the idea exists in society as a whole.

As amizades masculinas costumam ser representadas nos media e na cultura pop como relativamente superficiais, competitivas e sem grande profundidade emocional. Dito isto, não é inteiramente surpreendente que algumas pessoas pensem que os homens têm problemas em fazer amizades. Embora as mulheres tirem esta conclusão com maior facilidade, a ideia existe na sociedade como um todo. Somos levados a acreditar que os homens têm amizades com pouca qualidade ou que não têm amizades suficientes.

We know some men do struggle with friendships – indeed, some men have discussed having no male friends at all. Young men talk about how their bromances are on another level to friendships in terms of trust, expression of vulnerability and physical affection. Despite simplistic depictions of men, male friendships are diverse and evolving. Research shows younger men are engaging in close male friendships and expressing their feelings like never before.
