Beschreibung

It's the summer of 1967 and the Sexual Offences Act has just decriminalized consensual gay sex in private between two men over twenty-one. Percy Wright and his friend Les Baker have both taken temporary jobs teaching English as a foreign language in London during their long summer break from teaching at a rural boarding school near Oxford.
Percy is keen to soak up some theatre, music, and general culture, whilst Les is also keen to experience the varied gay social scene. When Les picks up a man called Phil at the box office of the Albert Hall when he goes to buy tickets to a Promenade Concert, Percy inadvertently gets thrown together with Adrian Framlingham, Phil's friend. 
Adrian is all the things Percy likes in a man -- funny, kind and steady. When Les gets hurt, Percy turns to Adrian for support, but as the end of the summer looms it seems as if their affair will come to a natural end. 
What will happen when Percy goes back to his everyday life as a house-master? Will he and Adrian stay in touch? Does he even want a long-distance relationship when arranging to meet someone for sex is still illegal, even if the act itself is not? 
Trigger warning: A secondary character suffers an off-screen sexual assault.

    A provocative and eye-opening book on the science and history of bisexuality 
     
    Significant strides have been made in recent years in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility, and empowerment, but the conversation is far from over. After years of feeling the crushing dearth of information on bisexuality, psychological  
    scientist and bestselling author Dr. Julia Shaw has dug deep and found a colorful and fascinating world that she is bringing out of the shadows. It is a personal journey that starts with her own openly bisexual identity and celebrates the  
    resilience and beautiful diversity of the bi community. 
     
    In Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality, Shaw explores all that we know about the world’s largest sexual minority. From the hunt for a bi gene to the relationship between bisexuality and consensual nonmonogamy to  
    asylum seekers who need to prove their bisexuality in a court of law, there is more to explore than most have ever realized. This rigorous and entertaining book will challenge us to think deeper about who we are and how we love.

    Christopher Worthington thought pushing his friend Alex Breschi at his former Dom would be a good way to introduce Alex to the BDSM lifestyle he was involved in, as well as create another barrier in his heart between himself and the man he had been half in love with for years, Mahiro Seta. But when Chris sees how much Alex and Mahiro have fallen for each other at a play party, he realizes any chance he ever had at a relationship with Mahiro was dead forever.
    Into his maudlin thoughts walks Adam Wa, Mahiro's best friend and roommate, and someone Chris has known for years, but had never quite gotten to know. Adam seems to know just what Chris is longing for, perhaps because Adam has been longing for Chris himself.
    Ever wondered what happened to Adam and Chris after the party in Florentine? Here's your answer.
