Having moved beyond youthful confusion and idealism, the authors in this volume reveal the details of their sex lives in the context of family, friendships, and intimate relationships. With emphasis on psychosocial and emotional context, the contributors explicitly describe their sex lives and sexual attitudes in a variety of situations. In the book's final chapters, the editors share their expertise and insights into sex and truthfulness in gay men's narratives and into the academic literature on gay men at midlife.
