This book is good for understanding various aspects of gay sex from the vanilla to the kinky to safety. The title is a bit deciving though. A manual implies it shows one how to have sex (such as "The Ultimate Sex Book" for heterosexuals).

A lot of this stuff can be found by searching the internet on various sexual and health related sites out there.

The book does go indepth with some topics giving graphic and visual descriptions of various acts that might help the novice, but a veteran to Gay sex would not really benefit from this book as will those who do not have access to the Internet to get this information.

A pretty dumbed down version of "being gay." Not so much a sexual manual, per se, as a handbook for those who need definitions of things like "bars" and "genitals." Breaks no new ground, and you;d be much better off with the better written, better illustrated, and more comprehensive "New Joy of Gay Sex."

I found this book interesting and a source of some ideas. The drawings were good and the discussion frank, noncritical and useful. The advice was helpful too, in meeting other guys and figuring out how to try some things for fun. I don't know what one of the reviewers was "shocked" about - the book is about gay sex, so naturally that's what it describes - and well depicted too. Enjoy, especially if you're new to the scene.

Except for "The Joy of Gay Sex," how-to-books about homosexual lovemaking were still in short supply when this title reached print...Although I have a sentimental attachment to "The Joy of Gay Sex" for being the first of its kind, and the one that came along when I really needed it, Jack Hart's book is every bit its equal. I might even give it a slight edge. For other gay men, I recommend it highly.

This is the best book I have ever read on the subject of men who love other men. I have lived the homosexual lifestyle every since I was 10 and this book describes it perfectly. I recommend this as the perfect Christmas gift for the man in your life.

This book is excellent for the youngest ones, kids that are getting started with their gay lives, and when they don't know what to say, what to think, or what to do... For most of us, it is just a "fine" book, nothing we haven't already read on the internet, or discussed with our friends or boyfriend. If you think you are gonna find hot pics (as the one on the cover), tips, or something new you didn't know, you better think twice before you get this book.

When I was a kid my aunt gave me a copy of Our Bodies Ourselves and it explained all the trials of puberty for a boy in a very general manner. This book is good for the young gay teen that needs alot of questions answered in a non-threatening way. As an adult I would have preferred a hardcore Kama Sutra.

This book i guess is a manual... but i would discribe it more as a dictionary. It summariz'z a word like testicals in one sentance and then talks about it in a few paragraphs. In my opinion Ultimate Gay Sex is a lot better than this book. Plus UGS has actuall photography to help get a better ideas, this book has some hand drawn pictures. Hope this helps.

I expected more out of this book. It is very well written in that it is to the point and witty. However, I paid $[money] for alot of information that I already knew, and could find on the internet for free. Infact most of the sites the author gives you in the book are more informative than the actual text. I don't recomend this book unless your completely new to this type of lifestyle, then I would say it is a definate read.

I think the word "manual" should be replaced with the word "explanation". Not condemning the book itself, but just not to give someone the wrong idea about what they are getting or expecting. It is good for someone maybe coming out of the closet or really new to the scene. I can put myself back to the first 1-2 years of coming out and it would have been a good book to read ! However, if you have been out for a few years already it is not a "manual" for advice and new ideas with gay sex, but just an explanation of it all more or less.
