Study on sexuality, though it was started only from the end of 1980s in Korea, has a limitation to understand(grasp) the whole culture if it restricted its scope to research on experience and recognition of one sex. From this point of view, this study has a purpose to explore the sexuality culture of Korean men neglected as an academic research up to the present. Therefore since it began in the circumstance of lack of similar precedent research, this study tried to examine the actual/real culture of men's sexuality through their own experiences and language from a feminist perspective. As for the methodology for this research, in-depth interviews and questionnaire survey were adopted. Through the process of in-depth interviews characerized as a preliminary survey, investigators could grap the general outline for Korean men's sexuality. Based on these interviews (14 men), questionnaire survey was implemented to get more generalized materials (data)(152 men). The total numbers for target men were 166. Their social background and age were men in their 20s to 40s engaged in clerical, professional and managerial sectors namely a new middle class. In addition to this, university/college male students were included as a future components of middle class. The findings and results of the survey can be summarized as follows : In chapter Ⅱ, men's recognition and experiences to sexuality were examined. There were largely three characteristics on men's recognition. First, men generally identified sexuality with sexaual intercourse which means confirmed possession of partner woman. Second, men have the dual norm of sexuality. Though they recognized sexual interest or need as equal for both sex, they expected woment to be passive contrary to their permissive attitude. And thirdly, women were primarily recognized as sexual object for men and divided into the chaste and the unchaste. This view on women based on that woman is fundamentally inferior to man. As for sexual experiences, we analyed the object as single and married men. Most of single men(67.5%) thought much of women's premarital chastity while only 35.1% of them did of men's. Also in real experience the rate of men's premarital experience reached 86.5% without significant difference by age, religion, and job. For married men, marital and extramarital sex were examined seperately. 62.6% of men agreed that marital sex is to have intimate relations. They(73.1%) usually played a leading role in sex. They revealed much more permissive attitude on men's extramarital sex than on women's. Really the rate of men's extramarital sex is 63.6% with significant difference by age. The older they were, the more they have sexual experience(***p<0.001). By job, sexual experience of managerical sectors are the most (75.7%), then clerical (57.9%) and professional (35.7%) sectors. There is no significant difference by religion. In chapter Ⅲ, how such sexuality culture formed and maintained were examined mainly through sexualization characteristics of men's orgarnizaton and sexual merchandization. In adolscent period men' s sexualization has been fromed through the informal mechanism such as magazine and pornography rather than the formal process. And 73.2% of those who had premarital sexual experience did it when they were under graduate student. Army experience in university was the major chance to get sexual experience, especially prostitution. Also, informal human relations are necessary to perform the efficiant company business. Here the sexuality played the role to provoke the intimate human relations. Socially prevalent sexual merchandization is the structural factor to promote men's culture. 63.6% of respondent experienced prostitution whose main opportunity was 'under the influence of liquor'(62.7%). For prostitution they had such a permissive attitude that it is necessary vice so should be tolerated or legalized. In review the results, the most characteristics on sexuality
