Description

OK, so you’re sexually attracted to your lover, and you share many of the same interests. What’s next? For many gay men, relationships require intimacy at both the sexual and emotional levels. Trust, communication, and empathy all play a part in the success of a long-term partnership. Yet few of us are proficient at these skills. And gay men often face obstacles in their quest for intimacy that others don’t: discrimination, unrealistic media portrayals, few positive role models, and a lack of a familial support network. In Love Between Men: Enhancing Intimacy and Keeping Your Relationship Alive, author and licensed clinical social worker Rick Isensee cuts through these challenges and demonstrates ways to solve the everyday conflicts that arise in our relationships. Most important, he shows us how we can better communicate with our partners to satisfy each other’s emotional and sexual needs.
