The Joy of Gay Sex
Fully revised and expanded third edition

By Charles Silverstein and Felice Picano

Paperback; 352 pages

The groundbreaking book on male/male relationships – now completely revised and updated and featuring 50 new illustrations.

One of the touchstones of the emerging gay consciousness when it was first published in the '70s, and a standard reference for gay men throughout the '80s and '90s, The Joy of Gay Sex has informed countless men about the ins and outs of gay life, love, and pleasure. A full decade has now passed since the last update, and while the gay community has seen improved treatments for AIDS, more positive media coverage, new forums for the expression of community, and more favorable laws, there continues to be an urgent need for this book's brand of positive and responsible advice.

Invaluable not only as a sex guide but as a resource on building self-esteem, and a coming out guide for young gay men, The Joy of Gay Sex addresses the many emotional and relationship-oriented issues in gay life, from long-term couples and one-night stands, to loneliness and growing older. It also serves as a general reference on a number of diverse topics, including living wills and insurance.

I was honestly surprised by how thorough this edition is—352 pages of real substance, not fluff, and the fully revised content feels current and inclusive. The paperback is comfortable to hold for long reading sessions, which matters since I kept going back to specific chapters.

Carter ★★★★★

Bought this for a friend who's exploring his sexuality, and I ended up reading half of it myself before handing it over. The way it blends practical advice with honest discussions about relationships feels refreshingly mature. For 352 pages, it's surprisingly easy to dip in and out of.

Henry Z. ★★★★★

I’m on my second read-through of the 352 pages, and the fully revised third edition feels genuinely current rather than just updated for show. The paperback is comfortable to hold open on the couch, and the honest, practical chapters on modern relationships have already sparked a few good talks with
