The Advocate Guide to Gay Men’s Health and Wellness just came out in January and author Dr. Frank Spinelli recently chatted it up.
Excerpt:
There is valuable information in the book for gay men of all ages. Gay sex tips, issues with addiction, and lifestyle concerns are just of a few of the areas that all gay men should be aware of. Because preventative health care issues begin at forty, gay men forty years and older will be particularly interested in the extensive coverage of preventative medicine.
It would be nice to think that all men are created equally but that’s just not the case. Traditional medical teachings do not focus on gay health, and clinicians, like myself, who treat gay men find that that the average gay man has many concerns about their lifestyle.
Somewhere along the way gay health became synonymous with HIV, and I wanted gay men to know that there was more to it than that. Over the years I compiled questions from gay men and most were eager to learn about how their bodies worked in relationship to sex and how different diseases and conditions are predicated upon our lifestyle.
