Description
Every week, Michael Alvear's gay advice sex columns reach 600,000 readers throughout the U.S., offering advice that is funny, controversial, politically incorrect and medically accurate. Inspired by the huge mainstream success of Dan Savage, these columns are unique in that they are strictly for gay men - telling them everything they need to know about sex. Writing as Woody Woodward, he offers well-lubricated advice drawn from the insights of a gay psychologist and a board-certified MD with a large gay practice.

I was debating between this book and another random-questions-and-answers type of book, and this one won out because of the title. Michael Alvear gives some interesting advice, and at least he's factual, truthful, and consistent with what he says. I also love that he'll bitch at just about
It's definitely not a book that someone can agree with everything in it, but that's not to say it's not informative. And at the same time, Alvear allows us not to be so uptight about everything. He adds a sense of humor to even the most tragic of circumstances, and maybe that's something we can all learn to add into our own lives...even if only in very small, incremental doses.
But really...he does dish out the dirt. He answers questions about love and sex and drugs in ways others might be too nervous to answer, at least truthfully.
Honestly, I'd say pick this book up if you have some burning sex questions that you can't find on the internet already, or if you just really like the title of this book like I did.
