Mein schwules Auge 10. Das schwule Jahrbuch der Erotik

In the anniversary edition of the gay yearbook of eroticism, everything revolves around happiness. The Duden defines happiness as a pleasant and joyful state of mind that one experiences when one comes into possession or enjoyment of something one has desired, as a state of inner satisfaction and elation.

What does happiness mean for the individual, for couples, for the gay community? Have we become happier in light of same-sex marriage and advancing social emancipation? Are we experiencing a second sexual revolution due to the availability of effective HIV therapies after years of restrictions, fear, and uncertainty?

Is happiness only found in pairs, only for the moment? In a group? Or can it also be found alone? Does sex bring happiness? When does sex bring happiness, and for how long? What do we need to be happy or at least satisfied, to achieve fulfillment and contentment? Does it always have to be the dream man? What is truly important to us in life, and what should it perhaps be? Who or what prevents us from being happy? How do we experience and confront the opposite of happiness: grief and loneliness, exclusion and discrimination, the hatred of others and towards others? With what struggles and revolts do we ensure the happiness of today or tomorrow?

In this new edition of the successful yearbook, around 100 authors and international artists explore these questions in their exclusive contributions and present their views on gay utopias, erotic dreams, and reality.

A sensual kaleidoscope featuring photographs, drawings, and other artistic works, as well as interviews, essays, reports, stories, and poems about small, private happiness, sexual and romantic happy moments, fortune seekers and unlucky souls, orgasms, ecstasy, and sexual transgressions.
