 | Gay And Gray | In the absence of accurate information, American culture has upheld a distorted view of what it means to be an older gay man. Gay and Gray is the first and only scholarly full-length treatment of older gay men in America today. It breaks the stereotype that older gay men are strange, lonely creatures and reveals that most older gay men are well-adjusted to their homosexuality and the aging process.This second edition contains four new chapters that present additional perspectives on the reality of gay aging. Dr. Minnigerode¬s study shows that older gay men do not perceive themselves as growing old faster than their heterosexual counterparts, and that forty is the age at which most gay men believe that the label “young” no longer applies--this finding led Berger and other researchers to define “older” gay men as those over forty. Pope and Schulz confirm Berger¬s finding that for most older gay men a continuation of sexual activity and sexual enjoyment is the norm. John Grube¬s paper on ... | ||

 | Breaking the Silence: Gay Teenagers Speak For Themselves | Gay teenagers: much has been spoken and written about them, but no-one thought to ask them how they see their own lives. This book, the result of what is probably the first survey of gay teenagers in the world, contains accounts of their lives by more than 30 young gay women and men. All the accounts are complete and unedited - so that gay teenagers speak for themselves. | ||

 | Between the Sheets: Sexual Diaries And Gay Men's Sex in the Era of AIDS | Based on data extrapolated from over 1000 sexual diaries and interpreted by Project SIGMA (Socio-sexual Investigations of Gay Men and AIDS), this work portrays the reality of gay sex and aims to understand it in relation to the transmission of HIV. By basing its findings on diaries, the work ensures the participation of marginalized groups, such as SM practitioners, married men, under-age men, men in the armed forces and men who have casual sex. Among the issues examined are genitalia and body image, types of gay men, varieties of sexual practice, sexual role and orgasm, and what happens in a sexual session. | ||

 | Sexual Preferences: The Kahn Report | Almost all of us, given the conditions of our upbringing and the pressures of peers and culture, have experienced some shyness and difficulty in being openly honest and expressive about our sexual needs, wants, and preferences. Now, with an entire body of literature that tells us which specific techniques to use in what specific situations, people are feeling even more confused. This is why Kahn wanted to write this book about sexual attitudes and sexual preferences. It is a book that can help men and women learn more about what sexual activities each sex prefers and how to communicate and express these preferences to each other. | ||

 | Unattached Youth: A Study Commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust | Towards the end of the 1960s the young people of Britain were more restless than ever before. Hippie drop-outs, art labs, pop festivals, underground magazines and self-help information services sprang up to provide for a generation disillusioned with traditional youth facilities. At this time, The Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust sponsored a conference in London with the theme 'The Problems of Unattached Youth'. As a result of the enthusiasm and concern expressed then, the Trust commissioned the three authors of this book to conduct a wide-ranging survey about the young people who drift away from their homes and backgrounds. This report was privately circulated in 1970 , and then published in 1974. | ||

 | No Human Being Is Disposable: Social Cleansing, Human Rights, and Sexual Orientation in Colombia | In a groundbreaking report that rewrites how human rights work should be done, and for whom, a Colombian human rights activist delves into the institutionalized impunity that has fostered campaigns of "social cleansing" and their disproportionate impact on gay men, transvestites and sex workers. With an analysis that indicts civic marginalization, economic deprivation and neo-colonial systems of extraction of resources, Ordonez outlines why "social cleansing" exists and what needs to be done about it. The report is the product of a year long investigation in Colombia and represents a unique collaboration between the Colombia Human Rights Committee, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, and Project Dignity for Human Rights in Colombia. | ||

 | Sociological Aspects of Homosexuality: A Comparative Study of Three Types of Homosexuals | Nearly all the books on the subject of homosexuality have been written either by doctors who base their information on what they learn from the homosexual patients who visit their clinics, or by criminologists who have studied homosexual prisoners. But in fact only a minority of homosexuals ever seek psychiatric treatment or get into trouble with the law. This book contains the results of an extensive research, carried out under the auspices of the Home Office and Birkbeck College (University of London), on three groups of homosexuals - those in prison, those in clinics, and those who have never been under treatment or arrest. The differences and similarities between these three groups are examined in detail including the home background, relations with parents, educations and work records, early sex experiences, and recent heterosexual and homosexual activities. The detail analysis of over 300 interviews and frequent use of verbatim quotations from the homosexuals themselves make it... | ||

 | The Spada Report: The Newest Survey of Gay Male Sexuality | Over 1000 gay men between the ages of 16 and 77, from every state in the union, from every walk of life and life-style, responded to the completely candid questionnaire by well-known gay journalist James Spada. Provocative, fascinating, and frank, The Spada Report examines all aspects of the gay life-style: relationships with lovers, families, spouses, and children; fantasies; politics; early sexual experiences; the baths, police, public restrooms, sex toys and much more. And the questions required gays to put in their own words their most intimate individual experiences and emotions. | ||

 | Something to Tell You | The London Gay Teenage Group Research Project spent over a year researching the lives and needs of young lesbians and gay men in London. Over 400 under-21-year-old homosexuals were surveyed in depth using an extensive questionaire, and further information was gained from discussion groups and individual interviews. This book is a product of that research. It critically examines the attitudes of schools, the youth services, employers, the police and others towards young lesbians and gay men, and looks at their home lives, social lives and sex lives. It is the most thorough and complete profile of lesbian and gay teenagers, and a critique of London's response to them. | ||

 | The Homosexual Matrix | Not another polemic on the homosexual's 'plight' or 'liberation', this book strides across the entire range - the matrix - of homosexuality from its place in religion, biology and anthropology to its role in politics: local, national, international. The author provides extensive accounts of homosexuality behind the scenes in the military, in espionage, and in psychiatry. It is this breadth and depth of analysis that extends one's total understanding of the homosexual. The Homosexual Matrix cuts through a welter of conflicting data, and offers an extraordinary flexible means of perceiving heterosexual as well as homosexual experience. As engaging in its specific details as in its larger design, the book includes scores of new revelations based on solid research. | ||

 | Bisexuality: A Study | "It's worth noting the pioneer status of Charlotte Wolff's latest book: it is, quite simply, the first extensive study of bisexuality...undeniably a major work, and, as an exercise in applied humanism as well as perceptive and forcefully argued sexual psychology, it fully deserves the seminal influence it should quickly accumulate. Not least of its achievements is a style that bridges the layman and professional approach." - Mike Sanderson, Psychology Today | ||

 | Love Between Women | Love Between Women, written by a psychiatrist, is the first authoritative book to have been published wholly devoted to the subject of female homosexuality. It is based on the author's detailed statistical research but is so presented that it can be read not only by those with medical knowledge but also by the general reader. After examining the psychological theories that try to account for lesbianism (and providing an interesting theory of her own), the author describes the main characteristics of lesbians, their social and other problems, and the organisations that exist to help them. The book ends with three brief unedited lesbian autobiographies followed by the author's comments. | ||
