That night he began an entirely new part of his education. In some ways it would have been a dream come true for the repressed young man, but his dreams were never that good, inventive or pleasurable. He soon begins a voyage of discovery and his intellectual and sexual horizons broaden.He meets the humble, but randy friends of his new friend Ralph, the blacksmith. They introduced him to a new world of friendship and sexuality. He discovers what it is to enjoy another man, and how to share his body for mutual pleasure. For the first time, he finds that ecstasy isn't a word; it's a feeling. On his travels, he eventually meets noblemen, great artists, Oxford Dons, the boiler room crew of a steamship, a Sheik and some sexually driven Indian Gurus. While they all were of different classes, nationalities and races, they all shared a common interest in exploring the further limits of man's ability to experience sexual pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBob Archman is a retired man living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. He is interested in history and travel. In his writings, he likes to explore the lives of ordinary gay men of different classes and backgrounds. He writes about the men he knows. Most are hardworking men with jobs. Some are professional, others are the men who build, or make things. Few go to the gym each day to work on their six packs. They don't go to the clubs a few times a week to dance. They are the men who go to bed early to get an early start on the next day's work. They are ordinary men who happen to be gay, not gay men who have a day job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 22, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48709434638585,"sku":"9781610980319","price":24.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/no95_6YCx19781610980319.webp?v=1784923874","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-blacksmith-and-the-scholar-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
