Review

For many men, the search for a fulfilling long-term relationship often ends in heartbreak and heartache. Affirmative Gay Relationships: Key Steps in Finding a Life Partner presents a step-by-step strategy for gay men serious about finding a life partner and establishing a committed relationship. This groundbreaking book debunks the myth that there are not enough available men, putting the focus on the individual as it helps him understand what he wants (and needs) from a partner, how (and where) to find him, and how to form a healthy and happy relationship that just might last a lifetime.

Affirmative Gay Relationships is a one-of-a-kind guide to establishing and maintaining a committed gay relationship, presenting practical advice for overcoming ambivalence, negative expectations, and confusion. Written by a practicing psychotherapist, the book prescribes taking individual responsibility as a cure for the relationship blues, encouraging an objective look in the mirror as a way of dealing with issues of trust, fear of rejection, and preoccupation with youth and/or beauty. The book deals with dating, identifying personal requirements, designing the perfect relationship, expectations-realistic and otherwise, embracing emotional vulnerability, and much more.

Affirmative Gay Relationships helps push aside the obstacles that block the path to a long-term relationship, offering advice on: where to meet men how to assess the suitability of a potential partner how to physically and psychologically prepare to meet men how to reduce anxiety and not appear desperate how to deal with rejection how to make peace with how you look and how old you are and much more!

Affirmative Gay Relationships includes candid comments from men interviewed for the book and fictional vignettes that illustrate very real characters and situations. Therapists, counselors, academics, and anyone interested in the dynamics of gay male relationships will find this book an essential guide to learning to make different, affirmative choices that are essential to creating new and positive outcomes.
