Description
Illustrating the wide range of emotions at work in younger/older gay male relationships - from fear and loathing to love and happiness. Acclaimed author Tim Bergling examines the "two tribe" mentality about age that divides the gay male community into "us" and "them". He explores the gay experience through young, middle-aged and elderly viewpoints, including relationships, dating younger guys, dating older guys, the internet, sex, drugs, alcohol, HIV/AIDS, fitness, plastic surgery, retirement, harassment and discrimination. In their own words, hundreds of men discuss what it's like to be 16, 28, 40 or 70, examining the myths and realities about growing old gay. - from Amzon
