My Guy: A Gay Man's Guide to a Lasting Relationship

Martin Kantor. Sourcebooks Casablanca, $19.99 (242pp) ISBN 978-1-57071-967-7

Acknowledging that ""finding and keeping a partner is the single most important challenge in gay life today,"" psychiatrist Martin Kantor (Problems and Solutions: A Guide to Psychotherapy for the Beginning Psychotherapist) offers a nine-step program for connecting with a mate. My Guy: A Gay Man's Guide to a Lasting Relationship covers many aspects of romance, from avoiding Mr. Wrong to identifying a potential partner's emotional needs. Even if many of the friendly suggestions (like ""be flexible about type"" and ""don't compare yourself to others"") transcend homosexual relationships, this handbook will serve as an optimistic yet realistic assistant for gay men.
