A great "Men are from Mars, Men are from Mars" book
It's about time gay men had a book that wasn't women and men focussed. This book was that book, and truly helped to identify that homosexual relationships are different from heterosexual ones and take a different course. Its words were very helpful in healing the pain of a lost relationship and building of a new one. It can certainly be used a reference manual and referred back to from time to time as relationships change, grow, and diminish. I would highly recommend it for anyone thinking about starting a relationship or already in one, as well as for anyone currently single. It works on all levels.

Quite Helpful
I bought this book because I am currently in a relationship - and I don't know what I'm doing. I was hoping this book would help me understand why I'm having problems with the perfect boyfriend.Well, this book helped a little but not much. It really is meant for those that are single and looking for Mr. Right. There are many activities that the author wants the reader to do to help him understand himself before he goes galavanting off into the next relationship. The book offers good advice, but I think the activities are kinda cheesy. One activity was to go to a restaurant by yourself. Now, I can see going to a diner by yourself for a quick meal, but the author was talking about a real restaurant. You're supposed to "date yourself." That's just silly if you ask me. I would rather go out to dinner with a friend, someone to talk to. It's important to feel comfortable with yourself, but most of these activities seem to taken right out of a text book without much thought about how practical they really are.
The books strong points, though, are in the text. It talks about keeping the sex great in a lasting relationship. It even talks about those that want to have open relationships and the possible benefits or consequences of that type of relationship. The book hit every point one could think of about the area of dating and relationships.
I plan to hang on to this book for when my boyfriend and I break up (I see the end approaching). Maybe it will be of more use then. Until then, this is not meant for couples. It is meant for single people and I highly reccommend it to those that don't understand why they can't find a lasting relationship.

This book is masterful
As a MFT in California I have found that the information contained in this book is the most encompassing collection of good useful advice that I have ever found. He touches on so many things that are important to gay male relationships. His advice is helpful and complete. I found the checklists and exercises easy and helpful. This book can really orient you to successful relationships. Similar Products
