Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This handsomely illustrated and informative gay man's guide to sex offers the perfect marriage... er, civil union... between reassuring, good-humored and consistently engaging text with more than 300 lush, full-color photographs that are explicit but tastefully erotic. Lambda Literary Award-winning humorist Ford (That's Mr. Faggot to You and Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me) enters Dr. Ruth's territory and aces the difficult task of writing a breezy but comprehensive guide that covers everything from gay identity, relationships, health issues and sex play. As a tour guide, Ford is playful (a sidebar on sex toys is called "Dil-Do's and Don'ts") and shockproof ("Rather than seeing kinks as extremes, they should be viewed as different forms of more basic sexual activities") as he explores the good (coming out, building relationships, discovering erogenous zones), the bad (erectile dysfunction, STDs, domestic violence) and the titillating (sensual massage, sexual positions, fetishes). The provocative photos are erotically charged, with the toned, multiethnic models exuding considerable heat in various stages of undress and acrobatics. The vibrant color photographs offer a forthright presentation of male nudity and gay male sexuality that should make this a conversation-starting coffee-table book for same sex households-even those who already know the ins and outs of gay sex. But the more important market for this book may be the uninitiated, who will find in it a thoroughly supportive guide to how adults communicate through, around and about sex.

Glossy and Superficial,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Gay Sex (Hardcover)
Gay sex is so mainstream that banality has set in and the kinds of ordinary books that heterosexuality has been plagued with has entered the gay market. (...).....Men Loving Men would be my preference and it is so much cheaper.....the illustrations in this book are so bland that I ached for the line drawings of other books....all in all this book was so pedestrian in such a high-gloss format that the triumph of form over substance was apparent on every page

Much more than a how-to,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Gay Sex (Hardcover)
Michael Thomas Ford has accomplished something in this beautiful, inpsiring book that has not been achieved by any other sex guide for gay men--provided solid information on achieving a great sex life while emphasizing that sex is not the most important part of a gay man's life. Where other books attempt to detail every conceivable sex act, Ford's focuses on what really makes for satisfying sex, exploring what makes you and your partner happy. An earlier reviewer complained that there weren't enough "techniques" described in the book. This misses the point. Techniques are not what make for great sex (having sex isn't that difficult, after all), and Ford discusses this with insight and humor, explaining that exploring your sexuality is more about having open communication with your partners (and with yourself) than it is about outlining where to put what. Ultimately his advice is much more useful than any step-by-step instructions. I found this book to be incredibly refreshing. The text is first-rate and the photos are hot. This easily replaces The Joy Of Gay Sex as the bible of gay male sexuality.

Not a How-To Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Gay Sex (Hardcover)
A beautiful coffee table book, with high-quality photographs, but not very explicite. If you really want to learn more about gay sexual techniques, this book is not for you.
