Review
The Kama Sutra, a compendium of Indian erotic knowledge collected in the 1st century, has long been viewed as a book not only of sexual technique but also of the art of love and life. In The Gay Kama Sutra Colin Spencer has attempted to bring the life-affirming erotic world view of the original (along with some of its more complicated techniques) to his discussion of contemporary gay male life. While the book celebrates gay male sexual love, it also discusses AIDS, relationships, homophobia, transvestism, gender, and politics. Its unabashedly pro-gay stance and ability to convey sexual information in explicit but nonclinical terms makes The Gay Kama Sutra an informative and useful guide.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Praise for Colin Spencer's Homosexuality In History: 'A tour de force.a highly readable overview of the history of gay men and women and their place in society.a significant contribution to the current debate over civil rights for lesbians and gays.'Hastings Wyman, Jr, Bookworld 'Colin Spencer has undertaken, with astonishing success, nothing less than a universal survey of homosexuality, in both men and women, throughout history, all over the world. Spencer's narrative of homophobic bigotry, hatred and violence is often disturbing, yet ultimately offers the hope that a fear that once did not exist will someday cease to be.' Walter Kendrick, author of The Secret Museum & The Thrill Of Fear. 'Spencer is deft at exposing the murkiness that surrounded all sexual activity, wherever found in the West, from the early medieval period to somewhere as late as the 1960s.By uncovering the wider text, social, political, religious, he helps us to remember what we are in danger of forgetting even now: that our attitudes to sex are conditioned.' Jeanette Winterson. Written in India in the second through fourth centuries AD The Kama Sutra<. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002401107
