Illustrating the wide range of emotions at work in younger/older gay male relationships - from fear and loathing to love and happiness. Acclaimed author Tim Bergling examines the "two tribe" mentality about age that divides the gay male community into "us" and "them". He explores the gay experience through young, middle-aged and elderly viewpoints, including relationships, dating younger guys, dating older guys, the internet, sex, drugs, alcohol, HIV/AIDS, fitness, plastic surgery, retirement, harassment and discrimination. In their own words, hundreds of men discuss what it's like to be 16, 28, 40 or 70, examining the myths and realities about growing old gay.

Review
"A must-read for every gay man, anyone who loves gay men, and anyone who wants to understand gay men....An exceptional contribution to the gay ageing literature. Bergling is a wonderful storyteller...His style is wonderfully accessible and engaging" - Mark Pope, President, American Counselling Association "An engaging read, not only about age specifically, but about gay culture in general. This book is a welcome addition to the emerging and long-overdue literature on aging gay men." - J. Michael Cruz, author of Sociological Analysis of Aging: The Gay Male Perspective"

Good Reading,
By So. Calif book reader "readalot" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reeling in the Years: Gay Men's Perspectives on Age and Ageism (Paperback)
I thought this book would be about gay men ageing in these modern times, and it was all that and more. He also covers older men and younger lovers, young men wanting older lovers and so forth. He was quick reading which was based on a questionnaire that he had put out, and I found it all very interesting reading.
