Case Studies in Modern Life

What are the lives of urban gay men? Is there a world beyond dating apps and searching for Mr Right?

In twenty-two original stories, Drew Payne explores the often untold areas of modern gay men’s lives, the lives that are lived beyond dating and romance.

What do you do if one treat is never enough, if there is trouble in the bedroom, if your youthful looks are fading away, if you have to spend the weekend with your unloving father, if you only want to follow your Sunday morning ritual, if you want to take back control over your life, or if you are losing your lover as he sits there next to you? The stories here explore these questions and more.
