“Enhancing Pleasure for Gay Men provides a sure-to-be-indispensable guide with a pleasure-centered ethos that is steeped in intersectional approaches and social justice methods. It not only raises awareness of specific issues of vital concerns to gay male clients, but also provides ethical and effective resources and tools to enhance clinical practice and promote greater empathic attunement.” Lucie Fielding, PhD, author of Trans Sex: Clinical Approaches to Trans Sexualities and Erotic Embodiments “In a nonjudgmental, respectful and non-pathologizing way, Martinez explains the unique role sex has played for gay men. Not only does he offer numerous strategies for resolving specific sexual issues, he postulates that sex can heal larger 'developmental, attachment and systems' issues for gay men. Thus, this clinical guide is thoroughly sex positive!” Gil Tunnell, PhD, co-author of Couple Therapy with Gay Men “In Enhancing Pleasure for Gay Men, Israel has provided a comprehensive, candid, clinically-sound, and practical framework that informs and invites clinicians to more effectively help gay male clients work on their complicated and misunderstood relationship to pleasure so they can feel free to have more pleasurable sex.” Buck Dodson, LCSW, creator and host of Gay Men’s Life Lab
