As a young boy, Zachary Zane experienced a sense of unease as he encountered images of his therapist in a state of nudity. He also found himself daydreaming about other individuals, naked, without any apparent reason. Despite his therapist's reassurance that a little imagination was nothing to be ashamed of, societal messages told him otherwise over the years.

Boyslut is a memoir-manifesto that delves into the prevailing societal shaming of individuals for their sex and sexual orientations. Through the lens of his bisexuality and self-described promiscuity, Zane explores the detrimental effects of sexual shame on sex and relationships. He shares personal experiences to demonstrate how we can unlearn the harmful messages society imparts to us.

The book encompasses a range of stories, from childhood play sessions with a neighbor to the initial explorations of Zane's bisexuality in college. It also includes accounts of sex parties, orgies, and pleasurable experiences with butt plugs. Boyslut offers reassurance and often elicits laughter, but most importantly, it serves as a testament to the possibility of living healthier lives free from stigma.

Zachary Zane's journey is a powerful reminder that our sexual desires and preferences are natural and should not be subjected to shame. By embracing our true selves and unlearning the negative messages we have been taught, we can cultivate healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Boyslut is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and challenge sexual stigma, offering a candid and insightful perspective on the complexities of human sexuality.
