Reviews"Jeffrey Hopkins knows that physicality is the doorway to the sublime. As he probes the mysteries of sexual and spiritual ecstasy, he teaches us about Buddhism, the wisdom of our bodies, and the luminosity of our minds. 'All beings are seeking happiness,' he reminds us. His book has wisdom, power and dignity." -Mark D. Epstein, M.D., author of Thoughts Without A Thinker: Psychotherapy from A Buddhist Perspective "The great classics of religious literature have presumed a heterosexual audience. Gay men are left wondering: how does this relate to me, to my desire? Whatever opinion one may have regarding the spiritual relevance or feasibility of the techniques described in this book, that it presumes a gay male audience makes it an unquestionable contribution to the queering of Buddhism...a real tour de force." -Jose Ignacio Cabezon, Illiff School of Theology, Denver, author of Buddhism, Sexuality, and Gender, "Jeffrey Hopkins knows that physicality is the doorway to the sublime.

SynopsisJeffrey Hopkins presents the 64 arts of gay male love in a sex and spirituality manual. Adapted from a highly explicit Tibetan sex guide based on India's Karma Sutra, this modern gay version presents ways to enhance the intimacy and impact of gay sex. The 64 arts are part of a process of spiritual development towards the ecstatic orgasm - when the true nature of reality is sometimes unleashed."
