Alex Buchman
Find out what really goes on after "lights out" in the homophobic yet intensely homoerotic world of masculine men in uniform! Tantalizing, explicit, sometimes disturbing, and always genuine, A NIGHT IN THE BARRACKS delivers the goods. Former Marine Alex Buchman lays it on the line in this steamy collection of real-life sexual adventures related by the men themselves -- including Buchman -- who lived them.

I knew this would be something for reading in bed. I just had no idea that it would so quickly put me to sleep. The pretentious introduction was the first clue, and the stories, well, not exactly well told...

So the description sold me the book - it sounded hot... but it did not turn out that way. I was dissapointed...

This collection of "authentic accounts" sizzles with steamy sex, repressed longings, and blantant activity. It is a hard hitting, and at times poignant look at being gay and in the military. That combination is difficult at best, but when one decides to act out one's passions while in the service of the United States Military, one has placed himself and his
partner(s) in a non-literal "line of fire". The sheer audacity of the acts make them more dangerous, and as a result, more fulfilling.
I have only one argument with the book. The last two "stories" are not in keeping with the theme of book, i.e., gay sex in the military. They are simply out of place, as far as this reader is concerned, and should have been edited out. Nonetheless, buy the book and ditch the last 2 entries.

As someone who spent a number of years in a military establishment, I bought this book hoping it would explain a few things about gays in the military and whether men who are secluded from other men, unconsciously become attracted to one another. Alas! Little did I know that I was buying a book which was bound to do everything but provide answers to my curiosity. Some of the people in this book need to visit a psychiatrist to have their mental states checked. I really mean it! For a man to pick up another man who is a total stranger (save that they are both Marines) and engage in wild sex on top of his car in the middle of the night is too much to be called `acceptable or normal' behaviour. And for a married man, with a wife and a child to engage in same-sex relations in his own house when his wife is at home, is blatantly stupid. The author nevertheless might has done a nice job in collecting these stories but from my point of view, a book like this adds nothing to one's knowledge except providing vague and meaningless fantasy!

I'm one of the two women who contributed to this book (the now-ex "Marine Wife"), and I'm proud to have been a part of it. I love the rawness and richness of the stories of my fellow contributors. I'm also glad to have the chance to show the world that many, many women also hunger for a hard male body in uniform...especially a Marine body. I still think that Marines are the most beautiful creatures on earth...as well as the most passionate and responsive. Believe me, I would so love to really crawl panther-like through a formation of prone Marines!
