Doing the Work of Love: Men & Commitment in Same-Sex Couples

Doing the Work of Love is a groundbreaking book that creates an important bridge between academic work on men and sexuality and popular work on gay male relationships. Exploring intimate, coupled relationships among men, especially among gay men, Clark celebrates embodied, sensual, sexual goodness of men's sexual relationships, while adamantly rejecting an "anything goes" approach to gay male sexuality or to sexuality in general. Clark proposes an ethics of sexual accountability in-relation as a middle ground between those who espouse anonymous multi-partnered sex as the crux of gay identity and those whose current sex panic resounds with sex-negativity.
