Wrestling for Gay Guys


WRESTLING fascinates many gay men: the body contact, the muscular men, the expression of anger, the techniques of self-defence, of controlling your opponent and, in submission wrestling, of actually punishing him. Why, then, do so few gay men participate in this enjoyable and exciting pastime? What is it about wrestling that arouses fear as well as fascination among so many gay men?

This book looks, for the first time, at psychological factors and neuroses that make many gay men afraid of what they are attracted to, and answers these questions for you.

Many gay men need to come to terms with fear, feelings of guilt and repressed anger, that makes them ineffective and lowers their self-esteem.

Donald Black shows how you can learn to be more assertive, cure your fear of other men, understand yourself better, express anger safely, raise your self-esteem and improve your relationships with other people, enabling you to do things that were previously too daunting.

Here at last is a guide to wrestling written specifically for gay men whether raw beginner or advanced wrestler, as well as those who feel they shouldn't!

For those thinking about taking up wrestling whether for fun, fitness, self-defence, safe expression of anger or erotic stimulation, or for the more experienced wrestler wanting to set up a gay wrestling club, Donald Black offers invaluable personal and practical advice on how to get started, how to avoid the stumbling blocks, joining or running a club, guidelines on safety, health and first aid, and explanations of holds and techniques. He covers erotic, nude, oil and mud, home and outdoor wrestling as well as explaining what different guys get from participating in particular styles, and provides inside information on professional wrestling as seen on television.

Donald Black has participated in and taught wrestling and weight- training for many years, and founded Britain's first gay wrestling club. His honest and perceptive account of the benefits he and other gay men have gained from wrestling makes this an essential study of gay psychology as well as a comprehensive guide to an exciting and enriching sport - especially for gay men.

The American artist, MATT, known to all gay wrestling aficionados for his raunchy wrestling drawings published by BG Studios and in the newsletters of alternative wrestling clubs around the world, was commissioned to provide the illustrations.
