---------------

It's not that it's a bad book, but the authors should be sued for misrepresentation (just a joke) so this book's title is far from its actual content.

If you read the list of topics above, you will see that at least half of them concerns more problems related to being gay than the joy of it. And for the rest, everything, I mean everything is stained by difficulties of all kinds that homosexuality can bring in your life. So, in summary, at least two-thirds of the book are about the difficulties of homosexuality from the moment you come out of the closet until you die of old age or illness.

Whenever the authors really talk about "the joys of gay sex," they remind us of the risks we face to be what we are and to do what we want or like.

Do you know that we share about 80,000,000 bacteria and/or viruses each time we French kiss? We can catch STDs even by giving a blow job or by rubbing against our lovers if they are not absolutely healthy. Sickening! Listening to the recommendations of this book, we'd be better to have sex this way:


No, he's not entirely safe; his arms are outside the condom.

And this:


Not a good idea either. To get drunk or drugged before going home with a stranger can lead to barebacking and disease.

So it was a real challenge to finish reading this book.

However, I learned some interesting things, like the beginning of the gay revolution against "normal" people's prejudices and injustice of the laws.

But I think reading this book would be good for young adults about to come out who has everything to learn. It could help to prevent them from unnecessary risks and allow them to still discover the joy of gay sex.

By the way, there is a lot of nice drawings in it. Here is one of the less hot (because I couldn't put here pictures showing genitals):



So I give four stars to this book.
