You think you've got all the moves. And you may. But do you know the preferred moves, mores and man-pleasing tactics for a host of other gay types? From the Campus Queer to the Do-Me Queen, the Twelve Stepper to the Sugar Daddy, Dan Anderson unleashes his expertise to disclose the secret longings of a host of hotties. You'll learn to master such sure-fire tricks as the "Up, Twist, Over and Down", the "Twirl" and the "Head Rub." Anderson and his posse of urban adventurers have seen and done it all, and now they spill their great, gritty sex secrets between two hard covers.

But there's more in Sex Tips for Gay Guys than just hot, hard how-to information about how to be great in the sack. Anderson, with the skill of a master sociologist and the wit of a baby Paul Rudnick, paints a picture of gay rituals, mating and dating at the dawn of the new century. You'll recognize everyone you've dated--and a few you're get to meet--in this hilarious book.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Coauthor of the funny and hip Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, Dan Anderson returns with hints for his less-experienced fellows, including advice on how to work a gay bar, how to dodge trolls, and how to decorate your apartment cheaply but with flair. There's less explicit sex talk here than the title suggests, but neophytes will appreciate learning a few new come-ons and some variations on the Princeton Belly Rub. A section rating the romantic and sexual viability of gay types, from Gym Bunny to Girleen to Bossy Bottom, is less helpful and mainly an opportunity for cracking jokes. Not one of the types turns out to be all-around wonderful, so the unwritten message is that if your date can be this easily categorized, he isn't worth the effort. Sex Tips for Gay Guys is light reading for the truck stop or the bubble bath. --Regina Marler --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Offensive Sex Tips for ... Gay Guys, August 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sex Tips for Gay Guys (Hardcover)

I'm guessing that the intent of this book was to be humurous and informative. Instead it ends up being offensive and useless. Unless you are a gay man that has lived in a cave for the last 20 years and likes to be referred to as a "poof", there is no need to buy this book. Dan Anderson's advice is both trivial and wrong. Does anyone need to be told to circulate (or as he calls it, "twirl") around a bar in order to meet people? And if I followed his advice to just up and leave a bar when it's time for me to leave, without telling my friends, I would be one friendless guy. Even the cover of the book is offensive, depicting every gay male sterotype that there is. You'd be much better off using the money for this book to go buy yourself a cocktail or 2 and see what happens.

1.0 out of 5 stars Irresponsible Advice, May 17, 2004

This review is from: Sex Tips for Gay Guys (Paperback)

As a Registered Nurse, I was very concerned when I read this book. In fact, it made me so nauseated that I threw it in the trash.

The book subtly promotes drinking, social drug use, and multiple sex partners--talking about how much fun it is to go out and get plastered and go to work the next morning still intoxicated and how much fun it is to have random sexual encounters. The author does not address, however, how much fun it is to live with HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Alcoholism, or any other complications that arise from living such an irresponsible lifestyle.

Folks, be yourselves. Just because you're gay doesn't mean you have to live/promote the stereotype that society holds of us. Be safe and have fun.

I do not recommend this book to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars "A Pleasant Surprise", April 11, 2001

This review is from: Sex Tips for Gay Guys (Hardcover)

When I first saw this book I said, "Oh, no! Not another book about Gay Sex! Don't they think we know anything? Well, one look at that homoerotic cover and I couldn't wait to shell out the money and order it. And what a pleasant surprise this book is, it really has a lot to offer for the new gay guy just coming out or the guy with tons of experience like myself (so I thought till I read this book).

This is really a book loaded with tons of info about all aspects of gay sex and dating. There's a lot of good advice here. "Master" Anderson has written a very hilarious and funny book. Even if you think you know everything already, you'll learn something new from this book. Or you should just buy it for the humor, it will keep you in stitches. I couldn't stop laughing when I read about "Sex with a Drag Queen" and "Sex with a Bossy Bottom." There's a chapter for every possible sex partner you could think of.

I read this book in one setting. After the first couple of chapters, I just couldn't put it down. This is truly an entertaining journey through the nuts and bolts of gay sex. This is a welcome edition from the author who brought us "Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man." So next time you're in a bar give a "Twirl" and then head straight home with your new man for some "M&M's." You might even get a "Pearl Necklace" out of it. Read this book and you'll know what I mean!!!
