review of another edition
Recommends it for:
unsure queers--but do read an updated version
Recommended to Heather by:
It was on Mike Ryan's shelf.
Shelves:
nonfiction-or-memoir
Another book I read because it was on my roommate's shelf. My roomie Mike came out that year and shortly thereafter this book appeared on his shelf. I read all his other books (Faulkner, Philip K. Dick, what have you), so I read this one too. I'm not going to rate it because I'm so far out of the target audience.
Every gay man should have this in their collection... Wealth of information from stds, bear code, and much more.
This would have been useful in eighth or ninth grade. Not so useful as an adult.
I read this book shortly after coming out. A must read for every gay man!!
It was informative and a good read.
totes the shit!

Recommends it for:
gay men who want to have better sex. duh.
Shelves:

A surprisingly frank, direct, and helpful book. The mechanics and how-to's of gay sex are not generally offered by mainstream culture, but this book is dead on.

This book is on the bibliography of books challenged, restricted, removed or banned in 2007-2008 put out by Robert P. Doyle and the American Library Association. More info at http://www.ila.org/pdf/2008banned.pdf
It's not just a sex manual/dictionary/reference. (Of course, who needs a sex manual?) There are interesting tidbits of gay sex throughout history.
Phenomenal! Everything one needs to know about anything (and everything) related to gay sex.
haha this book told me nothing i didnt already know. pics in it not even spank worthy.
Very informative. Well written. The illustrations were also very educational.
I think it may have changed since I read it...
