4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful book, September 14, 1998

By A Customer

This is the only book I have found written especially for compulsive gay men. It is full of insight and the testimonials of gay men in recovery make it easy and enjoyable to read. I would have rated it with 5 stars if only I hadn't read Mr.Kettelhack's 1996 book "Dancing Around the Volcano" in which he adopts a totally different point of view: That sexual needs and fantasies of gay men should be indulged rather than suppressed. This shift in point of view makes the authenticity of "Easing the Ache" seem rather dubious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Healing, February 17, 2003

By A Customer

We need more writers like Mr. Kettelhack to help heal the scars of many bright, eager, and potentially productive (and happy) gay men. If only more boys would read this book before tripping into a bath of self-loathing and depression; what a fortune could be saved (not to mention many lives) in the mental health and recover/rehab department.
