Chinese people are currently the second largest visible minority group living in Canada; however, little is known about the sexual practices of Chinese youth living in Canada. Using a case study, we applied Bourdieu’s theory of social practise to illustrate how the sexual practices of a young Chinese immigrant man, Matthew, were shaped by his primary and secondary habituses, the cultural capital he held and competed for in each of the social fields he engaged in, and the prevailing patriarchal and heteronormative values in Canadian society (meta-field) that promote sexual conquests, hegemonic masculinity and homosocial solidarity. To develop effective sexual health promotion for Chinese youth living in Canada, multidisciplinary collaboration is needed to address the dynamic interplay of complex structural conditions that limit racialised young immigrant men’s options in life and put them at increased risk of engaging in street violence, alcohol and drug use and unsafe sexual practices.

華人目前是居住在加拿大的第二大可見少數民族；但是，我們對加國華裔青少年的性行為卻知之甚少。通過一個案例分析，我們運用布迪厄的社會實踐理論去闡述一位名為馬修的年輕華裔移民男子的性行為是如何由數種互聯條件塑造成形: 包括他的初期慣習(primary habitus)和次要慣習(secondary habitus), 他在參與某些社會場域所擁有及競爭取得的文化資本, 以及由蔓延在加拿大社會中元場域(meta-field) 的父權和異性戀規範價值觀所推動的性征服, 霸權男子氣概和同性社交化團結。為了有效地增強在加華裔青少年的性健康，我們需要多學科合作來解決復雜的結構條件之間的相互影響, 這些影響可能限制種族化年輕移民男性群體的生活選擇,使他們更容易踏入街頭暴力, 酗酒和吸毒, 以及不安全的性行為。
