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unpublished "bearotic" fiction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.

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.

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.

A new version is coming out in 1998.
Basically this is an alphabetical listing of
terms and definitions for various sexual
terms, lingo, etc. It includes an annotated
biography.

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.

Review:
Booklist called this "a welcome addition to practical gay literature". David McWhirter and
Andrew Mattison, authors of The Male Couple, say it's "must reading for all male
couples", while Michael Shernoff of the National Lesbian/Gay Health Foundation, says it's
"bound to become a classic".

Review:
Another encyclopedia of gay-related terms, but with longer dicussions.
Bears are mentioned under ``New Macho Images'', but no mention of
chubbies or Girth and Mirth.

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)
