5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide directed specifically to gay men., May 8, 1999

The authors cover a myriad of issues faced by gay men without clouding it with lesbian issues. This may be the best book written to help gay men understand why it is so difficult for us to achieve and maintain healthy, intimate relationships. Five stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great if you have found him, otherwise good, September 5, 1998

This book was really good reading. I found that once I started it was hard to put it down. I took it most everywhere that I went. It gives some solid advice that friends cannot give. It goes great if you have regular sessions with a counsellor.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't really shine...., January 28, 2001

This review is from: Intimacy Between Men: How to Find and Keep Gay Love Relationships (Plume) (Mass Market Paperback)

Found this book to be a little bit annoying like most self-help books. The main message is that if you want intimacy you have to communicate your feelings with integrity. Say No when it's no and say yes when it's yes. That was the good part. There was also a lot of promoting psychotherapy including a whole chapter on having an intimate (non-sexual) relationship with your therapist. So, if you're into therapy then it's a good book if not, then just try to express yourself honestly and develop intimacy that way.
