5 Books Gay Men Can Scan to Improve Their Lives
Would the small gay boy you once were look up to the gay man you’ve become?
This is the question Dr. Joe Kort explores in 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Improve Their Lives as he guides readers through the complex journey of becoming a fully self-actualized gay man.
In his publication, Kort covers:
➡️ Mistakes gay men make when seeking a relationship
➡️ Understanding how to deal with loved ones who disapprove of your being gay.
➡️ How to overcome damaging patterns that are holding you back from enjoying a healthy sex life.
➡️ How to identify your own internalized homophobia.
