»I'm gay.« If a child confides these words to a parent they can totally transform the relationship. Will that transformation result in a closer bond or a broken one? »Coming Around« is an insightful and uplifting guide for understanding and coming to terms with a child's sexual orientation and maintaining a dialogue between parent and child. The author addresses parents' fears regarding: - what to say and not to say, how to deal with social concerns, religious prejudice and bigotry, which legal issues LGBT individuals face, how to understand homophobia. Most important, she shares how to communicate that, whatever happens with a child's sexual or gender choice, parents will never withdraw their love. Coming out is a vulnerable time. Its announcement requires the re-exploration of a parent's personal feelings on homosexuality.

This book is for queer parents, their families, and allies. It emphasizes community safety. While the national focus remains on the mistreatment of LGBT people in schools, the reality is that LGBT families also face hostility in various other settings - professional, recreational, and social. Drawing on his years as a community activist and on the experiences of LGBT parents, the author offers concrete strategies that LGBT families can use to intervene in and resolve difficult community issues, teach their children resiliency skills, and find safe and respectful programs for them. The book also tells the stories of LGBT families in all their diversity, with special attention paid to those families living in rural, isolated communities.

Mark Emme: In Your Hands

The Everyman's Guide to Masturbation. D 2013, 157 pp., brochure, € 14.95

Bruno Gmünder
Masturbation is an art. The author has studied, tested and compared every possible variety of masculine self-gratification - and, from what he's learnt, he has produced a guide that can enhance every man's masturbation skills. Emme covers a remarkable variety of techniques - from the tried and true to exotic ones and the adventurous. He's no uptight »jack-off«, but a self-confident onanist. Masturbation is nothing to be ashamed of but really something to celebrate. Or as Woody Allen once so rightfully put it: Onanism is sex with someone you really love. This book is destined to open up new and untold sights of your sexuality. The author will show you how to suppress the premature »flood of sperm« - he also knows how an exhausted penis can reach new power.

Three years ago, John Schwartz, a national correspondent for »The New York Times«, got a call that every parent hopes never to receive: his 13-year-old son, Joe, was in the hospital following a suicide attempt. Mustering the courage to come out to his classmates, Joe had delivered a tirade about homophobic and sexist attitudes that was greeted with unease and confusion by his fellow students. Hours later, he took an overdose of pills. Joe recovered and returned to his family. Determined to help their son feel more comfortable in his own skin, Schwartz and his wife, Jeanne, launched their own search for services and groups that could help Joe know he wasn't alone. Interweaving his narrative with chapters on psychology, law, and common questions, Schwartz shares lessons about helping gay kids learn how to cope in a potentially hostile world.

Fischer Taschenbuch
Martin Reichert - ehemaliger Chefredakteur des »Männer«-Magazins - ist schwul und traut sich gerade deswegen zu, zu klären, wie es zu den Konflikten zwischen Mann und Frau kommen konnte. Er liebt die Männer und versteht die Frauen. Zunächst musste er sich erst einmal die Sorgen und Nöte der beiden Geschlechter berichten lassen. Und nun hat er nicht weniger vor, als mit diesem Wissen Frieden zwischen den Geschlechtern zu schaffen - dadurch geriet er aber mehrfach zwischen Fronten. Männer reden mit ihm über ihre Ängste, Frauen thematisieren häufig die Machtfrage. Dazu lässt er sich erzählen, wie das erste Mal verlaufen ist und ob sich die Befragten ein Leben ohne Sex (noch dazu ein glückliches) vorstellen können. Das läuft immer wieder auf einen gewagten Hochseilakt hinaus - zwischen Eheversprechen und notorischer Untreue. Was verbindet trotzdem die beiden Geschlechter?
