- Summary:
- More and more gay men are seeking to find, build, and preserve intimate relationships. Here, two experienced therapists draw on extensive research and their years of leading counseling groups for gay men to present a practical path toward greater intimacy in gay love relationships. With inspiring success stories and relationship-strengthening exercises, this wise and sensitive guide offers innovative strategies for overcoming many problems faced by gay men in our society: Coming to terms with the process of coming out; Conquering your own personal roadblocks to intimacy; Learning to recognize the difference between sex and intimacy; Coping with issues of personal safety and AIDS. Extraordinarily insightful, warm, and supportive, Intimacy Between Men teaches couples to share feelings, desires, and sexual needs, to communicate honestly and openly, and to build lasting and loving partnerships.
