Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great ideas and info for a better sex life
Review: This book gives you a whole new perspective on gay life in general. Gay sex, lifestyles, community and identity are just part of the information you will find in this book... You also enjoy the tastfull drawings showing a variety of couples in lovings situation... Note that this book was written in the pre-AIDS era and you must take into account this when reading the safe sex recommendations..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: what a great book!
Review: This book has helped me through many hard times. Being a gay male is made much easier by reading this book. It teaches you a lot about yourself. Now my sex life is great, and I couldn't be happier! Recommended!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: very very very tame
Review: This book is a start....but with the advent of the internet, you can find much better (written, produced, looking, defined) material else where....

The author completely misses the 'non-mainstream' parts of the leather community..(bears, etc...)

Maybe a 3rd edition is in the works?

you can find better....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's ok
Review: This book is pretty descriptive in all aspects, But the illistrations are poor.
If your curious about what it's like to be intimate with eachother, I would have to say, Shop around for a better book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Ok, if the straights need a lesson, this is for them.
Review: What does a gay man have to benefit from this book? I have asked myself this many times as I sat and flipped through this book, laughing aloud, feeling silly (having bought it only because I wanted to shock the old woman at my book store who adored me and talked poorly about gay men).

Having bought this book years ago, when I was 22 -- I knew what I needed to know then. This seems like a crash course for those outside of the gay community, to those closeted types who need to do research, to know more about who they are, or those bisexual couples merely wishing to explore.

At this book's worst, it's there to hold up and shout "freaks". Funny, when I flipped through the Joy of Sex for heterosexuals I don't ever recall seeing a chapter on SEX WITH ANIMALS!

It seems this book is not so much a book on how to enjoy sex, but a rudamentary book of what gay life is : insurance, wills, choosing a doctor, marriage. If as gay men we were instructed about our lives and the choices we were to make later on, this is the stuff we'd learn starting with our first sex ed book in grade school on up through high school. Nothing more than a bore to shock the libraries.
