The most important book about AIDS ever written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sexual Ecology (Mass Market Paperback)
Every gay man must read this book, or be made aware of its content. Even one more death is way too many. What needs taming is not "normal promiscuity" -- say 10 to 50 partners a year. (!) The problem is "hyperpromiscuity" -- gay men who are having a thousand partners a year, and a dozen in one night. This created the biological climate which enabled the spread of AIDS; without it, there would have been no epidemic.

Meticulous, Powerful and So, So So Important,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men (Hardcover)
Gabriel Rotello has done a such a great service to the gay community by writing this powerful book. It is provocative and controversial only because the truth hurts sometimes. We've gone for so long not wanting to face reality in the gay world, not wanting to face the difficult challenges, not wanting to do the things that we must do if we are to alter the course of the epidemic. Rotello isn't afraid to face these things, nor is he afraid of the attacks that come when someone does raise the thorny but important issues. I thank him enormously for this book and urge every gay man to read it.

De-mystifying AIDS,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men (Hardcover)
The truth hurts and thank god someone finally told it about AIDS. As a gay man who is tired of hearing other gay people claim that religion, educators, the government and homophobia is responsible for transmission of HIV it is refreshing to find a well-reasoned voice showing that gay culture also contributed to the disaster that AIDS is. Mr. Rotello will most likely be crucified by gay theorists but his message is undeniable; unless gay culture finds a sustainable ecology it will continue exactly where it has been for the past 10 years----mired in a disaster
