"A smoldering seductive passage into the labyrinths of man-sex that disturbs, intrigues, and arouses as you sit up all night trying to put it down."

— Frank Browning, Author,
"The Culture of Desire" and "Queer Geography"

— Susan Faludi

296 pages; Harrington Park Pr; ISBN: 156023850X; May 1995

"Zeeland has produced a book of scholarly value that is also erotically steamy. 'Sailors and Sexual Identity' is smart, subtle, sophisticated, and free of self-referential, puffed-up queerology."

— Frank Browning

"An historical document that is unique among the writings on gays in the military." — Allan Bérubé

ISBN: 1560233648; December 2002 [Translated into English and published by Harrington Park Press at Zeeland’s recommendation]

The first thorough look at homoeroticism in the Israeli army, this extremely important new book presents in-depth interviews with soldiers about both their combat experience and their social and sexual interaction with other military men in a hyper-masculine environment.

"Male to Male" starts with the evidence that most studies on male sexuality have ignored — the same-sex feelings of men whose identities are heterosexual. The "I-never-told-anyone-this-before" confessions Dr. Tejirian elicits from straight-identified men who recount homoerotic dreams and daydreams make this book a surefire spellbinding read. But more sensational still is the interview technique he employs to mine these deepest of sexual secrets from his youthful male (twenty-something grad student, cop) research subjects: He simply asks them, man to man.

From GOD SAVE THE QUEEN (about a legendary watering hole in Gibraltar):

". . . 'I had an eighteen-year-old sailor come in here last month, his first time. He said, "That door's new," pointing to that door over there to the pool room, which I had installed about ten years ago. "How did you know that?" I asked. "Oh," he said, "my dad's got a picture of him sitting on your knee. It was the year before he met me mum."

. . . 'One lad came here with his dad — the Navy has a fathers' week where they fly fathers who were in the Navy out here to travel home onboard ship with their sons. He said, "Well, 'ere you go, Charles, you can 'ave your wicked way wiv 'im if you keep the drinks comin'!" I laughed and said, "Well, you're his dad, so I suppose that makes it legal!" You should have seen the poor boy's face . . .'"

In the early 1950s, Dr. Samuel Steward gave up a successful career as a university professor to become a tattoo artist. At the urging of his friend and colleague, Dr. Alfred Kinsey, he kept a daily journal for many years about his experiences.

"'People generally do one of four things after a first tattoo,' I would say. 'They either get drunk or get in a fight, or get a piece of ass, or go home and stand in front of a mirror and jack off. What did you do?'

1. The boys who came back and said that after their tattoo they went out and fucked a girl: 1,724
2. Boys who got into a fight following a tattoo: 635
3. Boys who said that all they did was get drunk afterwards: 231
4. Number admitting they masturbated while admiring their new tattoo: 879

Each response was interesting, and each in a way reflected the feeling of manliness that accompanies the new tattoo . . ."

. . "I ask the soldier, 'So what are you up for tonight? More adventure, or are you just going to the Bierhaus?'"

"I don't care. I've got a couple hours. Let's go to your place and watch videos."

— From In a German Peep Show

"Rich with detail — sights, sounds, smells. . . . All of the stories carry the compelling tang of authenticity."

"Zeeland in his memoir is typically droll and perceptive as he (gently) stalks the military men he desires, this time in (and out of) a Frankfurt jerk-off palace. And editor Buchman ends the book with a roadside fuck between Marines, a brief, perfect piece of military porn. . . . We just finished and already we want more!"

[One of the] “books of the year.”

“The best gay book of 2001.”

“What makes this book so appealing is that you can read it on three levels. As a tale of bawdy exploits with enlisted men, it skirts the fringes of highbrow gay porn. It can also be read as a thoughtful critique of masculinity and the urban gay lifestyle, scattered with witty epigrams that are pure entertainment. Equally engagingly, it is a story about the relationship between the two writers who, encountering misfortune in love, come to realise the value of friendship.”
