Summary: More than loss of virginity, a history of social attitudes
Comment: Jack Hart is possibly known more for his gay erotic fiction than non-fictionalized works: who wouldn't be curious about the stories of identified straight men and their first same-sex encounters ("Straight? True Stories of Unexpected Sexual Encounters Between Men")? This entry features real-life gays who identify themselves as such and their memories (both carnal and emotive) of their first experiences with gay sex. Hart spices the accounts with his trademark steamy and graphic descriptions of man-to-man sex, usually to the extent that we wish we could be so lucky. But this is more than a how-I-lost-my-virginity tell-all: Hart truly distinguishes this compilation of first-time encounters by breaking them into their time frames, such as what being gay meant in the 1930's, then the '60s and, in conclusion, the '90s. Whether or not by design, Hart manages to convey in his interviewees' memoirs their perception of the society in which they lived. With that technique, we get a sense of the evolution of homosexuality in terms of self and societal attitudes, from the aboluste fear of detection in the sexually repressed '30s to the free love of the '60s and the less (but nonetheless present) forces of supression of the '90's where, we might conclude, being gay is a lot easier and safer. For anyone looking simply to get off to some sizzling and provocative tales of men getting it on with each other, he (or she?) can usually get it in any of Hart's material. In this one, though, if we can get beyond the need for carnal satisfaction, we almost get a sense of the social history of being gay and how we might have gotten from there to here.

Summary: Jack Hart discovers more great erotica!
Comment: (This is a review of My First Time 2. For some reason, it's also popping up under My First Time, which isn't the same book.)
Jack Hart is to erotic gay books what Bel Ami is to erotic gay films! He finds the hottest and the sexiest, but also appreciates a sense of innocence.
I mostly like the fear and discovery of small-town sex, which Keith Pruitt gives us so hotly in "Great Scot," to give one of many good examples. But this wasn't the "last time" for most of these guys. R. J. March wrote the steamy best-seller Looking for Trouble, and has an erotic fiction collection out soon, called Hard (I'm sure the title will fit!). Donovan Lee uses a fictional version of his story from here in his novel Getting Past Almost. Bob Vickery's Cocksure is one of the hottest gay titles at Amazon.com--probably because of that cover, but I'm sure the book is good too. I need to find out!
