 All The Stuff Your Mama Never Told You About! March 11, 2000

As a young (25) gay male it can be hard to find good solid information on sex. Even living and dating in Los Angeles I am amazed at how much false information I encounter. This book puts an end to all of that. The Author is a doctor and gives plain straightforward information and advice about all aspects of gay sex. Make no mistake about it this is a factual and medical book, but it reads a lot smoother than you would think. I really enjoyed it and once I got into it I could not put it down. Read it and get the information you need as a Gay man.
A must read for every man that has sex with men!! August 31, 1999

When I decided to buy this book I was hoping for some insight info about sex with men. I am bisexual and in my country (southern Europe) sex between men is just something that nobody discusses...Dr. Goldstone knows what he is talking about, he is blunt but very informative; he goes straight to the point and gives you lots of important information on how to take the most out of gay sex and be disease free...You definitely have to read this book, even if you have been in bed with thousands of men and think "you know it all"...believe me...you don't...

For almost two decades, many have viewed the AIDS epidemic as paramount among gay men's health concerns. While never ignoring its centrality, Goldstone reminds his readers that there are myriad other considerations not only for self-identified gay men but for all "men who have sex with men." Among the wide range of sexual practices and concerns Goldstone covers are anal intercourse, sexually transmitted viral and bacterial infections, impotence, oral sex and HIV transmission, as well as recreational and prescription drug use and abuse. He also discusses ancillary cultural issues such as how being monogamous, living in an open relationship or having numerous sexual partners can affect safe sex practices. Goldstone's medical information is up-to-date and accurate; although, as he points out, treatments for AIDS change almost monthly. While the book covers the safety and health aspects of body piercing, its lack of information about the health implications of the wide range of sadomasochistic practices prevalent in the gay male community is a drawback. On the other hand, Goldstone has a positive, nonjudgmental attitude toward sex. This openness, combined with a chatty style (replete with bad jokes and not very subtle innuendo, reminiscent of David Reuben's Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex (but without the moralizing), makes Goldstone's book unusually reader-friendly.
Informative and fun July 1, 2002

All things considered, I expected this to be a somewhat dull read, a little too technical because it was penned by an MD. I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only is this book very informative and up to date, but it's written in a hugely entertaining and, yes, erotic, style. Sex manuals are very helpful when you have a date, but sometimes they can also be good company on those lonely nights when you don't have a man. This book is one of the best gay sex manauls available.
The perfect book for everyone, not just gay men November 22, 2000

I have read only four chapters in "The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex" so far, and each page is filled with information worth reading. I have read other books on gay issues before, but nothing compares to Stephen E. Goldstone's innovating and probing medical handbook. There are issues Stephen discusses in this book that scares you into taking just anyone into your bedroom, but it's reality and it needs to be taken seriously. This is the only book that I've come across in years that piques my interest. Thank you, Stephen Goldstone.
