Abstract (english)	The question of sexuality has been much discussed in Bond scholarship. However, much of it has focused on Bond Women’s sexuality. Entirely lacking in current Bond discourse is the analysis of how Bond’s own sexuality is policed by institutional heterosexuality and corresponding normative gender expectations both within the franchise as well as in academic discourse. My paper addresses the issue of this policing with special attention to promiscuity. I will be looking at all films featured in the rebooted series in order to show that the policing of sexuality is not limited to the Bond Women. I argue that even though the character of James Bond stands for sexual freedom, the franchise frames casual sex as a moral failing that is ultimately punished in not just the Bond Women but also in Bond himself. In conclusion, this project sheds new light on how patriarchal standards affect everyone and how modern media advocates for the repression of sexuality under the guise of sexual liberation.
