Not Gay thrusts deep into a world where straight guy-on-guy action is not a myth but a reality: There's fraternity and military hazing rituals, where new recruits are made to grab each other's penises and stick fingers up their fellow members' anuses; online personal ads, where straight men seek other straight men to masturbate with; and, last but not least, the long and clandestine history of straight men frequenting public restrooms for sexual encounters with other men.

Great topic... not a fan of the narration.

This is a great topic and most of the substance of the book is well written. My problem with it at times the voice of the writing as well as the narrator sounds very condescending towards straight men. As though the deeply ingrained messages men receive from society growing up are somehow each individual "white hetero male"'s own fault. I just don't like the attitude. This is a book that straight men should feel comfortable reading and I think they would just feel attacked most of the time listening. It should make a straight man feel more confident in their sexuality and I think I would feel more shame.
I also don't agree with some of the author's opinions on film. Her take on Superbad for instance, I feel she missed the whole point of the film. The two male protagonists, in my opinion... are not bumbling idiots and I think the film actually does a remarkable job at showing the tragedy of intimate male relationships fraying due to societal expectations. I almost cried at the end! I think the author mistakes complexity of personality and character for... weakness of character.
overall worth a listen or read though. I would've loved to hear a bit more science and research and perhaps even personal experiences.

When Claire Hoffman's alcoholic father abandons his family, his desperate wife, Liz, tells five-year-old Claire and her seven-year-old brother, Stacey, that they are going to heaven - Iowa - to live in Maharishi's national headquarters for Heaven on Earth. For Claire's mother, Transcendental Meditation - the Maharishi's method of meditation and his approach to living the fullest possible life - was a salvo that promised world peace and enlightenment just as their family fell apart.

Excellent.

I couldn’t stop listening. Maybe it’s because I’m an Iowan. Maybe because I’m a TM’er. Maybe because I’m the child of drug addicts. But this book engaged me in a way that a book hasn’t for a long time. Highly recommend it.
