Gay Adventures: True Stories of Lust, Love, and Loneliness Jack Barnhart

Over 300 gay men share their private, sexual experiences, all anonymous and all true. From childhood into retirement, these vivid stories describe the joys, the challenges, the threat, the guilt experienced by men needing physical contact with others. A candid book of erotic stories, this is a frank commentary on gays in a homophobic world. Whether an active search or an accidental encounter, these adventures happened wherever men gather, from gay bar to cinema, from bathhouse to bookstore, as well as travel, camping, resorts. First time or seasoned, students, brothers, strangers, friends, married, divorced. Perhaps you have been there, or perhaps you might discover what you've been missing. Gay Adventures is a record of the complicated realities of many gay men's lives. . . . speaking truthfully about erotic longings and sexual needs.? ?Michael Bronski These stories need to be preserved. They are writing the history of male-male sex and desire.? ?Jonathan Ned Katz
