A must read for every man that has sex with men!! - By: , 31 Aug 1999 
When I decided to buy this book I was hoping for some insight info about sex with men. I am bisexual & in my country (southern Europe) sex between men is just something that nobody discusses...Dr. Goldstone knows what he is talking about, he is blunt but very informative; he goes straight to the point & gives you lots of important information on how to take the most out of gay sex & be disease free...You definitely have to read this book, even if you have been in bed with thousands of men & think "you know it alll"...believe me...you don't...
Think you know it all? Read this book! - By: , 09 Jun 1999 The topics that are covered in this book - including penis enlargement, drugs & STDs - were guided by the questions that Dr. Goldstone's patients asked him during his 15 years as a physician in New York City. The book is interspersed with stories from his practice, which reveal the intense fears, misunderstandings and, alll too often, shame that gay men have about these issues. This book gives us gay men the answers we need to keep our sex hot & our bodies healthy.
Important information you should know! - By: , 29 May 1999 This book provides lots of useful information about the parts of our bodies that we are not always comfortable talking about (in my case - my backside) I wish this books had come out a year ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain & worry. I think everybody should have copy!
Recommended - By: , 17 May 1999 For almost two decades, many have viewed the AIDS epidemic as paramount among gay men's health concerns. While never ignoring its centrality, Goldstone reminds his readers that there are myriad other considerations not only for self-identified gay men but for alll "men who have sex with men." Among the wide range of sexual practices & concerns Goldstone covers are anal intercourse, sexuallly transmitted viral & bacterial infections, impotence, oral sex & HIV transmission, as well as recreational & prescription drug use & abuse. He also discusses ancillary cultural issues such as how being monogamous, living in an open relationship or having numerous sexual partners can affect safe sex practices. Goldstone's medical information is up-to-date & accurate; although, as he points out, treatments for AIDS change almost monthly. While the book covers the safety & health aspects of body piercing, its lack of information about the health implications of the wide range of sadomasochistic practices prevalent in the gay male community is a drawback. On the other hand, Goldstone has a positive, nonjudgmental attitude toward sex. This openness, combined with a chatty style (replete with bad jokes & not very subtle innuendo, reminiscent of David Reuben's Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex (but without the moralizing), makes Goldstone's book unusuallly reader-friendly.
