The onset of puberty invariably brings with it the dawning awareness of sexuality, of a child's inherent masculinity, and the struggle to put that sexuality into proper perspective. For some, the transition occurs with relative ease. For others the change is marked by tension and anxiety, and a growing awareness that their world is changing much faster than they would like. For the man in this book the initiation into the world of sexuality is full of frustration and fear. Eager to explore the bounds of his sexuality, he becomes a victim of many uncaring people, until, finally, he finds a man who really loves him. HUNGRY FOR SEAMEN - the story of a young man's struggle to wake his own very personal transition into adulthood. His story is a reminder of the pitfalls standing in the way of those growing up. It is a lesson for society.
