Customer Reviews

Excellent source for gay men!

This book is an excellent addition to those men just coming out, or have been out for many years who may have forgotten the basics of gay mens health. I made my partner read this book to encourage him to find a doctor that he can be 100% honest with. I have had gay doctors in the past, and gay friendly doctors, so I know how important it is to have someone understand my lifestyle.

First hand experience..

I have the good fortune to be under the care of Dr. Frank Spinelli. His "resource guide" and practical "how to" would have been extremely helpful for myself and my peers as we searched for our identities in NYC's gay 90's. So many of us rushed to lower Manhattan to escape our oppressive upbringings and built a "society" of our own which was often (from my perspective) as oppressive as those we left behind. We didn't know how to "be" together. Older (not too much), wiser, and much happier these days, I hope Frank's honest, well crafted advice and guidance reaches gay men of all ages who travel the road toward a truly healthy, happy existence. Nice work.The Advocate Guide to Gay Men's Health and Wellness (Advocate Guide)

Frank Speak

Pardon the pun, but Frank speaks frankly about issues that gay men face everyday. This book covers everything from simple skin care to things you're uncomfortable speaking about with your closest friends, and/or your own doctor. I learn something new each time I open the cover. A smart book for every gay mans library.

Great Reference for Gay Men....

I loved this book.... It spoke openly about topics that are specific to a gay man... Easy to read, yet full of detailed advice.. Great book...
