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.

Lily ★★★★★

The revised chapters on modern relationship dynamics feel genuinely current, not just tacked on. At 352 pages it’s a solid, thoughtful read that covers both practical and emotional ground without getting preachy.

Isabella T. ★★★★★

I’ve read older editions but this third one is so much richer—the 352 pages cover everything from relationship dynamics to sexual health with zero judgment. The revised sections feel genuinely up-to-date, and it’s written in a way that’s easy to dip into, even for someone like me who usually skims.
