The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex: A Medical Handbook for Men

Finally--the book for every gay man's bedside table.

At last! Answers to the questions you're too embarrassed to ask--but always wanted to know!

Why does it hurt down there?  Is it really safe to do that?    What does it mean when something looks like this--and how do I make it go away?

Chances are you never learned anything about gay intimacy from your parents, your school, or your family physician.  Here, at last, is reliable, comprehensive information on a wide spectrum of gay medical concerns, written by an eminent surgeon and recognized authority on gay health issues.

With up-to-date facts, interviews, and case studies from the author's practice, The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex goes far beyond HIV concerns, combining a complete education about the safe and pleasurable practices of male-male sexuality with a comprehensive medical volume.

Here are the facts about what you need to know to keep your sex life hot and healthy, including:

The rules of safe anorectal stimulation.

Symptoms to send you running to the doctor.

Foreplay, sex toys, and other accessories.

Viral and nonviral STDs-don't wake up with an unpleasant surprise!

Treatments for impotence and other sexual dysfunctions.

Diseases that can be spread without penetration.

Drugs...relationships...doctors (how to find the right one for you), and much more.

Loved this--confirms a lot of what I keep saying and no one likes to hear. Like for instance the uselessness of the 1-2-3-thing or the danger of rimming and so much more. Nice to see it confirmed by a gay physician.

Recommended for every writer of gay sex for the fine-tuning.

This book is a definitive and go to guide on sexual health for gay men. I would recommend this book to any gay male wanting to learn more about their own sexual health. The information presented is straight forward and answers a lot of the questions you might in a professional and health minded way.

This book is specifically written for gay men. However, the health information included is important for ALL men, not just gay men. Goldstone, an MD, is open and frank about medical issues related to men, STDs and male sexuality. This is an important book for all sexually active men to read, understand, and assimilate into their lives to maintain overall health and well-being.

This book is packed with useful information, although some of it can seem a bit out of date. Still, it’s well written and worth reading.
