clothes, attitudes, appearance, gestures), occupations (e.g. working in hair salons), and social and sexual roles, which mold the individual as well as his sexual behavior. If the masculine sexual role is active penetration, sexual behavior between men is based on traditional sexual roles where the ‘man’ is the one who penetrates, and the ‘woman’ the one who is penetrated ( Guajardo, 2002 Toro-Alfonso, 2002).
The homosexual partner is penetrated he who penetrates is not defined as a homosexual. Thus, a man that acts and looks like a woman is homosexual. In Peru, bisexually active men who define themselves as heterosexual and who have sexual relations with feminized homosexual men, are widely referred to as ‘ mostaceros’ 1 or ‘ cacaneros’.
