Join sex expert and Men’s Health magazine columnist Zachary Zane in celebration of his new book Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto at the Bureau on Wednesday, June 14th at 7pm ET! Zach will be in conversation with Jordyn Taylor, executive digital editor at Men’s Health and co-author with Zach of Men’s Health Best. Sex. Ever.: 200 Frank, Funny & Friendly Answers About Getting It On.
Named one of Buzzfeed’s Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Books of 2023, Boyslut is a series of personal and tantalizing essays that articulate how our society still shames people for the sex that they have and the sexualities that they inhabit. Through the lens of his bisexuality and much self-described sluttiness, Zane breaks down exactly how this sexual shame negatively impacts the sex and relationships in our lives and, through personal experience, shares how we can unlearn the harmful, entrenched messages that society imparts to us.
From stories of drug-fueled threesomes and risqué Grindr hookups to insights on dealing with rejection and living with his boyfriend and his boyfriend’s wife, Boyslut is reassuring and often painfully funny—but most potently a testimony that we can all learn to live healthier lives unburdened by stigma.
Copies of Boyslut will be available at the Bureau. To reserve a copy, please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com.
