Trade Review

Provides fresh information and insight about the occupation of male sex work...(Barry Reay) makes an intriguing case study in midcentury manhood.
John Ibson, American Historical Review, 01/04/2012

In this path-breaking book, Barry Reay makes significant advances towards our understanding of human sexuality and behaviour ... Reay’s work really does offer us a new angle on “gay” history ... Reay has indeed produced a compelling account of a little researched area of American life.
Kevin White, Journal of Social History, June 18, 2012
