And I definitely won't stare at him no matter how many times he parades in front of me wearing next to nothing. What a cock tease. But when a hard night lands him at my front doorstep - desperately in need of a place to stay - I get one look into those rich blue eyes of his ... and realize our story is far from over. My former "bro" and I are about to define a whole new term for the steamy, beautiful mess that's about to happen between the two of us. * This is a stand-alone, angsty, slow-burn M/M romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cheating.

Neither men wanted to accept their circumstance—those random moments in life that lead to answers to questions many of us keep buried within. The Last Letter is a book of discovery.

Download or read book Ben s Bromance the Complete Collection written by Jessie Parker and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben is the All-American college boy: good-looking, athletic, friendly, open-minded and always curious. He comfortably considers himself "heteroflexible," and enjoys the occasional playful horsing around or just cuddling with other dudes. But on one late summer night when Jeremy, one of his best college buddies, convinces Ben to sneak into the apartment swimming pool with him, he discovers how flexible his heteroflexibility can be. Ben's tryst with Jeremy gave him confidence to pursue his true love: his best friend back home, Danny. In each short story, Ben experiments and explores this new side of his sexuality. Each story takes him to new arousing heights, through acts he never thought he'd ever do, and through feelings he never knew he was capable of having. Book 1 - A Late Night Swim: Ben experiences his first homoerotic tryst when he goes down under on a fraternity brother at the apartment's pool. Book 2 - Romping in the Hay: Ben confronts his best friend Danny and demands to know why he's been so distant over the last few years. After a heart to heart talk, they both discover that they had deep, unexplored feelings that manifest into a night of drunken frolicking in the barn. Book 3 - Backseat Bromance: Ben and Jeremy find that the only way they can play discreetly together is to take a road trip: here, in the back seat of the car, is where Ben and Jeremy finally go all the way and seal their bromance. Book 4 - While He is Sleeping: When Jeremy tells Ben that one of his fantasies was to be taken advantage of in his sleep, it was perfect. The only problem is that Jeremy has a straight roommate. Book 5 - Pitching Jeremy's Tent: Not being able to fall asleep due to his tent-mate's snoring, Ben decides to sneak into Jeremy and Morgan's tent: much his surprise, he enters a darker world of Jeremy's kink and humiliation. Will Ben and Morgan team up to satisfy all of Jeremy's submissive needs? Book 6 - A Bromantic Dinner with Danny: It's Thanksgiving night, and Ben and Danny continue their new bromosexual experimentation, only to discover that they may be falling in love ... and finally make love. Book 7 - The Bromantic Morning After: The morning after a night of hot sex is often awkward for two dudes. But not for Ben and Danny. Despite Ben needing to go back to college to finish up the semester, they both have trouble literally letting each other go. Book 8 - My Snow Blower: Watching Danny flirting with a girl at the bar conjures up confusing feelings that Ben never knew he had: envy, insecurity, and a longing for something deeper. To collect his thoughts, Ben leaves them at the bar and treks home alone through the snow storm. When Danny catches up with him, it becomes a night of wild stormy passion, the kind that will burn through the entire winter. Book 9 - Between 2 Bros: Waking up, seeing Danny still sleeping right next to him, Ben had to make sure this wasn't just another good sex dream. But when Jeremy texts Ben to let him know that he missed his bus to the airport and wanted company, Ben is at a crossroads: he told Jeremy of his more-than-just-friends relationship with Danny, but he never told Danny about his hyper-sexual rendezvous with Jeremy. And when Danny and Jeremy meet, it would be a collision of his two separate worlds, sucking Ben right into their sexually charged chaos, resulting in a beautiful explosion of masculine lust that only three horny young guys can achieve.

Download or read book Bosom Friends written by Thomas J. Balcerski and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The friendship of the bachelor politicians James Buchanan (1791-1868) of Pennsylvania and William Rufus King (1786-1853) of Alabama has excited much speculation through the years. Why did neither marry? Might they have been gay? Or was their relationship a nineteenth-century version of the modern-day "bromance"? In Bosom Friends: The Intimate World of James Buchanan and William Rufus King, Thomas J. Balcerski explores the lives of these two politicians and discovers one of the most significant collaborations in American political history. He traces the parallels in the men's personal and professional lives before elected office, including their failed romantic courtships and the stories they told about them. Unlikely companions from the start, they lived together as congressional messmates in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse and became close confidantes. Around the nation's capital, the men were mocked for their effeminacy and perhaps their sexuality, and they were likened to Siamese twins. Over time, their intimate friendship blossomed into a significant cross-sectional political partnership. Balcerski examines Buchanan's and King's contributions to the Jacksonian political agenda, manifest destiny, and the increasingly divisive debates over slavery, while contesting interpretations that the men lacked political principles and deserved blame for the breakdown of the union. He closely narrates each man's rise to national prominence, as William Rufus King was elected vice-president in 1852 and James Buchanan the nation's fifteenth president in 1856, despite the political gossip that circulated about them. While exploring a same-sex relationship that powerfully shaped national events in the antebellum era, Bosom Friends demonstrates that intimate male friendships among politicians were--and continue to be--an important part of success in American politics.

Download or read book Sexuality in Literature for Children and Young Adults written by Paul Venzo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding outward from previous scholarship on gender, queerness, and heteronormativity in children’s literature, this book offers fresh insights into representations of sex and sexuality in texts for young people. In this collection, new and established scholars examine how fiction and non-fiction writing, picture books, film and television and graphic novels position young people in relation to ideologies around sexuality, sexual identity, and embodiment. This book questions how such texts communicate a sense of what is possible, impossible, taboo, or encouraged in terms of being sexual and sexual being. Each chapter is motivated by a set of important questions: How are representations of sex and sexuality depicted in texts for young people? How do these representations affect and shape the kinds of sexualities offered as models to young readers? And to what extent is sexual diversity acknowledged and represented across different narrative and aesthetic modes? This work brings together a diverse range of conceptual and theoretical approaches that are framed by the idea of sexual becoming: the manner in which texts for young people invite their readers to assess and potentially adopt ways of thinking and being in terms of sex and sexuality.

Download or read book The Book of Minor Perverts written by Benjamin Kahan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Modernist Studies Assocation Book Prize Statue-fondlers, wanderlusters, sex magicians, and nymphomaniacs: the story of these forgotten sexualities—what Michel Foucault deemed “minor perverts”—has never before been told. In The Book of Minor Perverts, Benjamin Kahan sets out to chart the proliferation of sexual classification that arose with the advent of nineteenth-century sexology. The book narrates the shift from Foucault’s “thousand aberrant sexualities” to one: homosexuality. The focus here is less on the effects of queer identity and more on the lines of causation behind a surprising array of minor perverts who refuse to fit neatly into our familiar sexual frameworks. The result stands at the intersection of history, queer studies, and the medical humanities to offer us a new way of feeling our way into the past.

Download or read book Coming Out Coming Home written by Michael C. LaSala and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery that a child is lesbian or gay can send shockwaves through a family. A mother will question how she's raised her son; a father will worry that his daughter will experience discrimination. From the child's perspective, gay and lesbian youth fear their families will reject them and that they will lose financial and emotional support. All in all, learning a child is gay challenges long-held views about sexuality and relationships, and the resulting uncertainty can produce feelings of anger, resentment, and concern. Through a qualitative, multicultural study of sixty-five gay and lesbian children and their parents, Michael LaSala, a leading expert on this issue, outlines effective, practice-tested interventions for families in transition. His research reveals surprising outcomes, such as learning that a child is homosexual can improve familial relationships, including father-child relationships, even if a parent reacts strongly or negatively to the revelation. By confronting feelings of depression, anxiety, and grief head on, LaSala formulates the best approach for practitioners who hope to reestablish intimacy among family members and preserve family connections as well as individual autonomy well into the child's maturation. By restricting his study to parents and children of the same family, LaSala accurately captures the reciprocal effects of family interactions, identifying them as targets for effective treatment. Coming Out, Coming Home is also a valuable text for families, enabling adjustment through relatable scenarios and analyses.

Download or read book Superheroes and Masculinity written by Sean Parson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superheroes and Masculinity: Unmasking the Gender Performance of Heroism explores how heteropatriarchal representations of gender are portrayed within superhero comics, film, and television. The contributors examine how hegemonic masculinity has been continually perpetuated and reinforced within the superhero genre and unpack concise critiques of specific superhero representations, the industry, and the fan base at large. However, Superheroes and Masculinity also argues that possibilities of resistance and change are embedded within these problematic portrayals. To this end, several chapters explore alternative portrayals of queerness within superhero representations and read the hegemonic masculinity of various characters against the grain to produce queer possibilities. Ultimately, this collection argues that the quest to unmask how gender operates within superheroes is a crucial one.

Download or read book Screening Images of American Masculinity in the Age of Postfeminism written by Elizabeth Abele and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays presents a sampling of film and television texts, interrogating images of U.S. masculinity. Rather than using “postfeminist” as a definition of contemporary feminism, this collection uses the term to designate the period from the late 1980s on—as a point when feminist thought gradually became more mainstream. The movies and TV series examined here have achieved a level of sustained attention, from critical acclaim, to mass appeal, to cult status. Instead of beginning with a set hypothesis on the effect of the feminist movement on images of masculinity on film and television, these chapters represent a range of responses, that demonstrate how the conversations within these texts about American masculinity are often open-ended, allowing both male characters and male viewers a wider range of options. Defining the relationship between U.S. masculinity and American feminist movements of the twentieth century is a complex undertaking. The essays collected for this volume engage prominent film and television texts that directly interrogate images of U.S. masculinity that have appeared since second-wave feminism. The contributors have chosen textual examples whose protagonists actively struggle with the conflicting messages about masculinity. These protagonists are more often works-in-progress, acknowledging the limits of their negotiations and self-actualization. These chapters also cover a wide range of genres and decades: from action and fantasy to dramas and romantic comedy, from the late 1970s to today. Taken together, the chapters of Screening Images of American Masculinity in the AgeofPostfeminism interrogate “the possible” screened in popular movies and television series, confronting the multiple and competing visions of masculinity not after or beyond feminism but, rather, in its very wake.
