I can truthfully say that most every question that I had regarding issues ranging from the widest range of topics imaginable were answered in a professional & very informative manner. Some of the topics ranged from "The Anatomy Of Pleasure", "Sex Acts And Facts","Sex Troubles", & much more in chapter one. Through 13 chapters of fact filled up to date info.this encyclopedic book keeps your attention in high gear, gets you thinking about what really matters, and is written in an entertaining manner as well. This all-inclusive "COMPLETE GUIDE TO GAY MEN'S SEXUAL, PHYSICAL, AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING" is a must read, and a great reference I refer to very often. If there is one book on gay men's info. this is the ONE!!!

A must have and a must read

The gay bible is here!

Daniel Wolfe's "Men Like Us: The GMHC Guide to Gay Men's Sexual, Physical and Emotional Well-Being" is a book I can't recommend enough. More than "Our Bodies, Ourselves" for gay men, this is a clever, entertaining and comprehensive user's manual that any man who likes/loves/lusts after men -- HIV-poz, HIV-neg, don't know, whatever -- should read. I've read it cover-to-cover, and learned -- and laughed -- the whole way through. It's a must-have!

The realities of gay life. Buy this book !

This book covers the entire range of gay life - advice on relationships, the dynamics of attraction, and aspects of sexual, physical, emotional and spiritual health that address everything from religion to party drugs to intimacy to 'gay hair through history'. The writing is honest, easy, and fun; the content is thorough, accurate and informative. It's a great read, a must-have accessory for every gay man, and should be mandatory reading for every doctor, public school teacher, therapist, and parent. Buy this book!

A valuable contribution to the literature of men's health

This book is a great achievement. It is an extremely well researched and thorough resource. What distinguishes it from other health books is the craft with which it is written. The prose is witty and accessible. It is a pleasure to read. Reading it one gets the feeling that it is written by an intelligent, caring and trustworthy friend. Men Like Us focuses specifically on the needs of gay and bisexual men in ways that recognize the great diversity within these categories. Men Like Us covers an enormous amount of material often overlooked in general men's health books, and so it provides valuable information for all men, regardless of how they identify themselves.
