Product Description:

For a new century and a new generation of readers comes a fully revised and expanded edition of a classic guide to gay sex, love, and life.

Invaluable as a sex guide, a resource on building self-esteem, and a trusted aid for coming out of the closet, The Joy of Gay Sex covers the ins and outs of gay life alphabetically from 'anus' to 'wrestling.' Noted psychologist Dr. Charles Silverstein has collaborated once again with critically acclaimed novelist Felice Picano on this third edition, updating every single entry and adding nearly thirty new entries. The authors provide positive and responsible advice on safe sex in all its varieties; on emotional and relationship-oriented issues such as long-term couples, loneliness, and growing older; and on scores of diverse topics ranging from spirituality to online dating. With fifty new line drawings by acclaimed illustrator Joseph Phillips, this landmark reference is a necessary addition to every gay man's bookshelf.

- Wow.
A manual on how to fist and rim. Just what everyone needs!

In all seriousness, who needs a book instruction them on how to fondle or whiz on each other? That's what MTV videos are for.

- A Great Update
Having read previous edition, I found this a good update on many subjects.
Gives good guidelines for a great safe-sex sex life. Keeping it in view
for everyone to read.

- Sexual Addiction is real!
The weakest link in this book is that sexual addiction and compulsivity is not a valid problem or diagnosis. The authors suggest that sexual addiction pathologizes sexual behaviors.

Sexual addiction is not about sex. It is the use of sex for re-enacting trauma and abuse. It is putting one's self at risk for legal consequences, health problems, STD's and relationship problems. It is the loss of control over one's true sexuality.

I recommend that if you purchase this book you buy Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men as that author understands the true definition of what sexual addiction is.

- Fun but Outdated
Silverstein, Dr. Charles and Picano, Felice. "The New Joy of Gay Sex", HarperCollins, 2003.

Fun but Outdated

Amos Lassen and Literary Pride

Let me say from the get-go that "The New Joy of Gay Sex" is not a how-to book. It is a comprehensive look at gay sex in all of its aspects (as well as some I had not ever thought about like sex with animals). The book has a lot of useful information and answers many questions. Originally published in 1977 at which time gay men were not in vogue (at least not to the degree we are now), this book has been the only concise look at our sexually lives. Silverstein and Picano have updated their original book and kept the wonderful illustrations that were part of the original. The drawings are wonderful but some have been altered and look a bit cartoonish.
It is objectively written and only preaches about subjects that are unhealthy. Keeping ... Read More
