Finding Your Leading Man
How to Create Male-to-Male Intimacy and Make Your Relationship a Blockbuster

 
By Jon P. Block, Ph.D.

For all the gay men who have spent years fruitlessly looking for Mr. Wonderful, who have kissed every toad in the pond without even one turning into Prince Charming, finally there is a road map to guide them to a lasting, more fulfilling relationship.

Even now, when an ever-increasing number of gay men are looking to establish a lasting relationship, studies show that male/male relationships end sooner than either straight or lesbian relationships. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Finding Your Leading Man is a guide to help the gay man seeking intimacy and wishing to improve the quality of his relationships. Dr. Jon Bloch first explores the twelve basic personality types that gay men employ to hide their fears and desires, provides practical tips for getting past the intimacy blockers of each type, and details which personality types are most — and least — compatible with each other. Finally, he then explains how to use this knowledge to build a successful long-term intimate relationship.

Fun, practical, and easy to use, Finding Your Leading Man is a clear, enjoyable, and simple guide for the gay man on the hunt for his one and only.

Jon P. Bloch has a Ph.D. in Sociology from Indiana University. He is a college professor, private consultant, longtime gay activist, and adventurer.
