Bearotica

By: Ron Suresha
2002
288 pages

ISBN: 1555835775

Review:
This collection of all previously unpublished "bearotic" fiction gathers a zoo-full of varying styles, settings, subjects, characters, and author backgrounds. Like the Bear subculture itself, there is something stimulating for everyone: literary and smutty, romantic and hardcore, rustic and citified, historical and postmodern. Collected here is a jungle orgy of grizzlies and musclebears, daddybears and cubs, chubs and otters, bikerbears and bearlovers, "straight" bears and gorillas and lions and wolves and bulls, oh my! The contributors come from all over the U.S. and from the U.K., Germany, Denmark, and Australia. One can't necessarily tell from their pen names or writing, but several outstanding stories by women are included. These twenty-five stories are more than "genre fiction" - they tweak more than one's furry gonads - although there's plenty of hot hairy-heavy-homo sex in these pages. These well-crafted tales display depth of heart and understanding and humor - essential qualities that endear to us the sexy creatures we call bears.

The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities

By: Dossie Easton, Catherine A. Liszt
1998
288 pages

ISBN: 1890159018

Review:
This book is generally considered to be the bible for open and polyamorous relationships, this book explores what it means to love and/ or lust-after multiple persons and still maintain sane, happy relationships with everyone involved. The authors call it as they see it. The language is plain, simple and frank. (They sometimes get wrapped up in being politically correct, but it doesn't take away too much.) The book isn't specific to any one queer community, and you may not agree with everything the authors say (nor are you expected to agree) -- but it'll help you think about yourself and your relationships in fresh, new ways. A must-read for anyone in an open or poly relationship.

The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities

By: Dossie Easton, Catherine A. Liszt
1998
288 pages

ISBN: 1890159018

Review:
What does a book written by two bisexual women have to do with bears? Plenty! Although the book is often called "The Bible of polyamory," it's not just for folks who want to love multiple partners. It's useful for any kind of relationship. The authors write in simple, light-hearted, non-preachy language about topics like jealousy, effective communication, sexual honesty and many more topics. A must for anyone in an open relationship. or who's simply curious about the complexities of love and communication.

History of Orgies

By: Burgo Partridge
2002

ISBN: 1853754919

Review:
Burgo Partridge's cult classic is a serious look at saturnalia from the days of the Ancient Greeks and Romans and through the ages, almost to our own time. For everyone who thought sex was invented in 1963, a true eye-opener and an intelligent read. Now illustrated with an afterword by the author's widow.

The New Male Sexuality

By: Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D.
July 6, 1999, rev. ed.
Paperback

ISBN: 0553380427

Review:
This book is unmatched in its straightforwardness, casual tone, and careful mix of do-at-home exercises and author's ideas. It is more sociological than most other sex advice books as well, providing the necessary social context for men's sexualities. "It's Two Feet Long and Hard as Steel" is a great chapter. (Not specifically Gay)
