Straight?: True Stories of Unexpected Sexual Encounters Between Men

Rating:
Summary: The mind games some guys play!
Review: "Straight?" serves up some 50 true accounts of sexually straight-identified men who explore their "curiosity" about same-sex encounters and, in the process, challenges the validity of labels like "straight" and "gay." In most of these true narratives, the common thread is less the sexual labels we and others apply to us individually and more man's basic need (carnal or otherwise) for the touch of someone of the same gender. As someone myself identified as "straight" with some sexual experiences with other "straight" men, the turn-on is less sexual and more the feeling of simply being wanted. The stories in this compilation do more than offer some sizzling hot descriptions of man-to-man sex. They also ask the fundamental question if labels ("straight," "gay," "bi") are even relevant, why it seems (on both a private and societal level) that anything related to homosexuality prompts serious questions of one's sexual preferences and why anything related to same-gender interaction has anything to do with sex at all. In the end, does it really matter? For anyone not interested in such a debate, however, and is looking for nothing more than steamy literature, this book has just about anything that caters to any taste.

Summary: Straight? Has It's Moments, But Seems A Little Rehashed...
Review: I've always been keenly interested in reading about a man's first time, particularly a "straight" man's first time with another man. In Straight?, Hart has compiled a nice collection of stories that address just that topic. The tales range from the romantic and sweet to the extremely erotic. The only misgiving I have with the book comes from an admission that Hart makes in the introduction. It seems that most (if not all) the stories were originally printed in MEN Magazine. Now, nothing against the mag, but I often question the truth behind most of the stories featured in that mag, submitted by readers or not. The stories would have had more of a real touch to them if at least some came about from interviewing the real men that the stories came from. It's still a page turner, and you'll probably read it from cover to cover in only two sittings, and, dispite being a little "rehashed," it's good, clean, dirty, fun.

Review: This was the book that brought me over to the other side. I've always KNOWN I was a gay man, but hearing it from someone else gave me the strength to tell my wife how I feel. I will cherish this book forever!!
