Zachary Zane

Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto

A sex and relationships columnist bares all in a collection of essays that are part memoir/part manifesto. The book explores both the author’s coming of age and coming out as a bisexual man, while moving the reader towards embracing and celebrating sex without shame or stigma. As a boy, Zachary Zane remembered feeling strange and even ashamed when images of his naked therapist popped into his head. Despite assurances from his therapist that it was okay to have an imagination, society added to the confusion by saying otherwise! Boyslut analyses the social attitudes that shame people for the sex they have and their sexual orientations. Through his own bisexuality and self-described sluttiness, Zane examines how this shame impacts the relationships in our lives and how it’s possible to unlearn the harmful messages it conveys. From stories of drug-fuelled threesomes, Grindr hook-ups, and the experience of living with his boyfriend and his boyfriend’s wife, Boyslut is a painfully funny and compassionate testimony to how we can live healthy lives unburdened by stigma.

“Can you believe it? A famous sex writer has written a slutty memoir. He sure has! Finally, a bisexual man shares what it is he deals with while opening the minds of those who are already biased…in other words most of us! This collection of essays is kinky, slutty, and full of heart and humour. It also offers a view of non-toxic masculinity and bisexuality in all their beautiful glory. As for polyamory, that’s the delightful cherry on top. Love it!”
