queersexlife

By Peter Egan

If you’ve ever had an inkling of what it is like to be gay or
bisexual or if you are an overly analytical tyrant who is
constantly searching for reasons of your sexuality, then
queersexlife was probably written for you. Don’t let the sub–title
fool you. This is not a story of Goldie’s sex life, but rather a
dissemination of Goldie’s reasoning for why he is who he is.
queersexlife draws excerpts from other publications to
educate the reader some of the casuistry behind terms like
‘queer’, ‘gay’, ‘bisexual’ and others. While Goldie is not overtly
gay or bisexual, he made a choice early on in life to be
heterosexual and was married. Through marriage beget children
and then grandchildren. Later on in life Goldie outs himself and
uses queersexlife as a reference into why he chose his course in
life. Through various gay, bisexual and straight experiences,
Goldie draws the reader into his conviction of why we do what
we do. Using a multitude of previously written subject matter,
Goldie expertly fragmentizes sexual sensitivities to create sound
thought processes as to social perception of homosexuality. This
in its own way becomes invaluable for the ‘closet’ individual who
is struggling with the decision as to whether or not to step out.
At 240 pages, it is an overtly dry read. Citing well over 150
publications, queersexlife is a tremendous resource book that
compiles writings of similar nature into a sub–compact volume
on human sexuality at the same time as drawing in personal
experiences of the author. While I am not usually a fan of
drawing deep within the confines of our unconsciousness,
queersexlife offers an in–depth opportunity to rationalize
sexuality.
