Ever wondered if you're the only one? Spoiler: you're not. You're not even close.
In this revised and expanded edition of Gay Male Breeding Through The Ages, C.D. Knight (author of The Breeding Bible) takes you on a frank, funny and unapologetic tour of men who desired men, from the first written records to your phone's home screen.
Meet the Babylonian scribe who called it a lucky omen, the Egyptian god who started the universe solo, the Theban army made of lovers, the emperor who cut off his own sleeve rather than wake the man sleeping on it, London's molly houses, Hirschfeld's Berlin, Toronto's bathhouse riots, and the furious, brilliant activists of ACT UP.
Then bring it home: how the condom code and the bareback debate came about, and how PrEP, U=U and doxy-PEP changed the room. Above all, what all that history means for your desire, your shame and your Saturday night.
Every historical claim has been checked against real scholarship. Legends are labelled as legends, and a sources section backs it all up. A timeline, glossary, myth-busting table and FAQ round it out.
Proud, playful and properly researched, this is the history class you never got.
