Evocative of writers Patrick Califia-Rice and Kate Bornstein, whose best works explore gender and sexuality through personal memoir, queersexlife is a frank and intimate collection of responses to theories of queer sexuality and identity as viewed through the author's own experiences. By turns insightful and elegant, Terry Goldie delves into contemporary subject matter both fraught and explicit, revealing subtle, fluid truths about human sexuality and desire: drag queens, feminism, cross-cultural sex, bisexuality, gay youth, and the concept of being "out," among others. Goldie explores this diverse terrain with a perceptive and provocative eye as he attempts to understand the complex issues of sexuality and gender from within?and as a result, to understand himself. The result expands and deepens our understanding of the parameters and ramifications not only of queer sexuality, but human sexuality in general, in terms that are both beautiful and unapologetic. queersexlife is a book for LGBTQ studies and general readers alike.

Sexuality and Identity: A Personal Look
Amos Lassen
“Queersexlife” is something of a memoir and something of a collection of ideas on queer sexuality and identity. It is intimate, honest and quite frank. Goldie looks at the diversity of the GLBT community and explores drag queens, feminists, bisexuals, gay youth as well as sex across cultures and the whole concept of being out. The issues are complex and in trying to understand them, Goldie attempts to understand himself as well.
At some time in our lives, we have all dealt with these issues and some of us have found answers which fit us but not necessarily fit an entire community and this is probably due to our diversity. Goldie questions what we are looking for and does so by using the concepts of desire and pleasure. He poses difficult questions and then attempts to answer them and gives us new ideas in a witty and persuasive way. This is quite a book that will have you thinking.
