Not Gay: Sex between Straight White Men is a 2015 book by Jane Ward, in which she details the phenomenon of straight men seeking out sex with other straight men despite not identifying as gay, bisexual or bi-curious.[1][2]

Ward discusses hazing traditions, such as the "elephant walk" (in which each man has one hand on the penis of the man behind him and the other hand inserted into the anus of the man in front) and the circle jerk as examples of sexual contact between heterosexual men. She also discusses male-male sexual activities in prisons and the military.[1][3][4] The book features excerpts from Craigslist personal ads, and discusses a number of reasons why straight men might seek out sex with other men, such as fear of being rejected by women, or finding women's bodies gross.[4]

The term "bro-job" (analogous to bromance and a play on blowjob) refers to a sexual encounter between two straight men who are often close friends. Ward expresses the view that "bro-jobs" are not an indication that a man is actually gay, but rather a means for straight men to explore their own sexual identity.[5]
