A guide to learning to love and love yourself with pride.
It’s not easy to grow up as a gay man, surrounded by stigmas, stereotypes, and without role models. When and how do you “come out of the closet”? What does a healthy and happy gay relationship look like? How do you date other men? There is no manual to discover who you are, who you love, and how you want to live in a world that isn’t built for your experience… until now.
In Sobreviviendo en el mundo gay, Adrián Chico, psychologist and sexologist, shares his personal experiences, reflections, and lessons both inside and outside the office to offer gay men an honest, no-judgment guide to learning to live authentically. An essential book for gay men (regardless of age) and for those who live with them and want to better understand and support their experience.
In this book, you will find a guide to…
* Understanding your experience from childhood and adolescence marked by a lack of role models.
* Coming out and communicating with your environment.
* Building authentic relationships and the effects of porn on intimacy.
* Understanding the digital world and apps: an honest analysis of Grindr and other dating platforms (and a glossary to understand the specific language of these platforms).
* Practical exercises: dynamics and reflections designed to strengthen self-compassion, dismantle stereotypes, and regain confidence.
