You've Been Blocked

A Provocative Discussion For And About Gay Men Seeking Empowerment And Internal Satisfaction.
Buy the Book
"Gay men must accept a lack of perfection and learn that most will not be, become, or obtain the idealized image of a gay model or pornography actor. Certain life experiences (nurture) during childhood combined with genetics (nature) may create some increased risk for developing mental health issues as adults."

About the Book

The Search for Gay Male Perfection

You’ve Been Blocked includes the author’s frank raw description; Joseph candidly, yet thoughtfully, describes and depicts what many gay men experience as children and into adulthood. This discussion includes explanation and analysis of the longer term ramifications of being different in this capacity, or as the book refers to as “gay-normal” vs. “straight-normal.”

The book delves in to three “dimensions” of blocking, starting with parents at home, expanding to school/community/outside the home and then a surprising additional set of challenges is often incurred upon entering some variation of the gay male community (GMC) within the LGBTQ+ Community.

You’ve Been Blocked is a historical, present, and future-enhanced analysis of commonly observed dynamics and related interactions among gay men. It is also a navigation tool for gay men and those who wish to understand them better. Learning from this discussion and analysis may improve the process of unlocking and unblocking, thus empowering the gay man’s journey toward improved insight and internal acceptance…

Promoting body positivity, diversity, inclusiveness and less superficial judgment is not always authentically expressed by all gay men, despite the social construct in the gay male community (gmc) of alleged tolerance.

"As children, many gay men will have difficulty developing an authentic identity if they do not experience natural, normal, unrestricted evolving milestones equal to that of their straight peers. While growing up as gay boys, they may vacillate between being hyperaware of themselves in some regard; but because of fear, anxiety, and feelings of subjugation, they may also feel recurrently vague, indistinct, and inconsistent."
