Committed Sensations - An Initiation to Homosexuality

Same-sex relationships have always existed and will always exist. That is normal. For several years, social research has dealt extensively with same-sex partnerships of lesbian and gay couples as well as with homosexuality and the coming-out of young Lesbians and Gays. Every second man has sex and orgasm experiences with another man, reports Alfred Kinsey, empirical sexologist. This Handbook and Compendium "Committed Sensations" is not only about help and ways for a personal coming-out and a successful identity development with regard to everyday questions like how to build up a network of queer friends, but at the political level it also summarizes topics like e.g. gay-lesbian family politics, state marriage and church weddings - and as well it is about fostering discussions for the central keynotes of lesbian and gay couples within the last 50 years of gay-lesbian movement.
