In a battle of the heart, who will be the first to submit? My name is Jamie Atwood, and I am an idiot. Against all odds, I got the attention of Michael Kage, the hottest MMA fighter on the planet. To say he rocked my world would be an understatement. He transformed me completely, made me depend on him, and made me love him. And the sex? Let me put it this way: I'd never been with a guy before I met Kage, but I'd gladly spend the rest of my life on my knees for him. He is my obsession and my addiction.

Great Trilogy and Great Narration!
- By 🎧 Cyndi Marie 🎧 on 12-18-16
Publisher's Summary
A pioneer of LGBTQ studies dares to suggest that gayness is a way of being that gay men must learn from one another to become who they are. The genius of gay culture resides in some of its most despised stereotypes - aestheticism, snobbery, melodrama, glamour, caricatures of women, and obsession with mothers - and in the social meaning of style.

Good Book but better Organization Preferred
As a black gay man, I’ve experienced many of the stories shared in this book. I would have preferred a better orientation/organization to the books, possibly as full case studies instead of fragmented stories. I will recommend it to others.

Very insightful book.
The author provides an insightful look into southern, gay lifestyle. As a black, gay male from the south that attended a HBCU and also lived in the North for many years I was entranced and captivated by the participants authenticity. I truly hope 🙏 the author writes more. I will be putting him on my list of favorite authors.
