Dr. Olson was once asked, “Why would a forty year old man want to come out anyway? You’re too old for sex.”
In “Finally Out” Dr. Olson answers that question and many others as he rigorously examines why some gay men live straight lives while struggling to come to terms with their true sexual orientation. He blends his own life experience with his psychiatric training, adding gay history for context. He then wraps it all into a complete and easily accessible understanding of men who resist thinking they are gay even while engaging – sometimes exclusively -- in secret sexual activity with other men.
With professional understanding Dr. Olson examines his personal transformation from a “straight” man living in a heterosexual world to a gay man beginning his education anew. Dr. Olson addresses the challenges faced by those who choose to come out after living much of their lives closeted. He punctuates his narrative with revealing stories from his own life and from his interviews with other gay men from around the world, and he includes surprising facts that provide perspective on global cultural norms.
“Finally Out” examines how secrecy, silence and fear of judgment result in shame that contributes significantly to leading a hidden life. “Finally Out” is much more than a guide to coming out for mature men. Dr. Olson has written a book designed to be helpful for these men, but also for their families and anyone who loves them. It also will serve as a resource for therapists and clergy who counsel them and anyone who wishes to understand same-sex attraction.
Finally Out edition by Loren Olson Health Fitness Dieting eBooks
Dr. Olson has given us a template for the times in his book "Finally Out". Given the large numbers of men who have come to the realization that they are indeed gay...no matter what their age when they discover it...this book can be utilized as a reinforcement of the feelings that come flooding out of nowhere when the discovery of their true self is revealed.Using his background of experience and expertise, Dr. Olson melds these two areas, along with factual and accurate studies done on the subject of homosexuality into a well rounded arrangement. Since this book is part personal and part professional, the two aspects jell into a cohesive combination that can help the men who the book is aimed at, while teaching others who are puzzled and perplexed as to why such a lifestyle change can happen so "late" in life. The real key here is not that it can happen at age 40 (and be considered late), but that it can also happen in successive decades on into ages 80 and over.
Another critical component of this book that shows the human side of life is how Dr. Olson bares his soul multiple times when he describes some of the real life situations he faced while discerning his real place in the world as a gay man. The fact that his ex-wife and daughters (and grandkids) are all solidly in the corner of he and his partner Doug, is an indication that despite his turmoil inside that he may not have always been doing the right thing, it has somehow worked out just fine. Relationships are hard work, and no matter if it is with your partner, or your extended family...not to mention former social friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc., the rewards are out there to be had if you continue to forge on and follow your heart and soul. This is what Dr. Olson has done. Not only in redefining his life, but by undertaking this book and allowing others to share in his knowledge and experience...so that they may also benefit and prosper.
Men need to know they are not always held to the stereotypical standards that society has earmarked for them. You can be tough as nails and still be gay. You can be athletic and butch as hell and still be gay. You can be whatever you like...but more than anything you have a right to be happy and you have a right to love someone with your full being...and if that someone happens to be another man who is the object of your desire, then this book is proof positive that you can do just that.
This book is a real gem in that it is sincere, genuine and certainly non-judgemental (even to those who cast a derisive eye to the gay community). It is one man's story of how Loren has made his way in the world. Those who know him personally or those who have read his work here are lucky that he chose this forum to share his story. Prepare to learn about a tremendous man and prepare to learn about yourself...or those around you who may have embarked on a similar journey.

Finally Out edition by Loren Olson Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
This book was a very interesting to read because of my similar realization that I am naturally gay. Dr. Olson's thoughts and feelings helped me grow and accept my strong gay sexual feelings and attractions for men are normal and natural and to understand my highly emotional feelings of my falling in love with a man. My homosexual attractions and feelings began when I was an adolescent and proceeded to get stronger throughout my life.
I just finished reading Finally Out & it was AMAZING! Thank you Dr. Olson for answering questions I didn't know I've repressed and answers to things I would never have thought about. Your book helped me take control of my thinking and helped me out at age 51. I am keeping this book in my library as a treasure! Words can't express how I appreciate all the effort you put into a book. Many thanks!!!
Dr Olson has written a fine honest book about his coming out and to terms with his sexuality. I applaud his honesty and commitment to giving the reader an insight to all aspects of both his former and post heterosexual life, good and bad. He manages to combine a narrative story of his personal life with scientific data (both from his own research and others) without making the book too clinical. I was so interested in his progress as a gay man and how it affected his wife, family and partners that I almost wish they had books too. Dr Olson gives us a very real look not only of how coming out later in life can be a achieved, but also give the reader an idea of the issues older gay men must face as they head into their senior years. This is not just about the coming out process but also about health issues, sexual practices, filial obligations, intergenerational relationships and so much more I would recommend this book not only for GLBT people dealing with coming out, but also friends and families of men who have made this transformation.
Dr. Olson helped me understand how and why someone comes out at an older age.
His honesty has to help those going through similar struggles, and even for their loved ones to relate.
I believe we are wired a certain way, simply put. But the doctor offers several informative interesting studies, statistics, and different stages.
Several times he had me laughing out loud telling his story, pretty funny guy. He's brutally honest about sexuality, at the same time tasteful, not going into a ton of detail. It's an easy read, loved the flow, read it in 3 days.
It seems so obvious to me that it should be legal for Any 2 people to marry. Especially to protect all the legal rights every other married couple receives as well. He talks about finding the right church with its challenges. Along with threats experienced on many levels...being a strait person, I felt much empathy about this.
I think we all know some young gay people that haven't shared it with others. I sure wish they could save themselves of much heartache and read this book. I don't think it's only for older folks coming out. But I'm sure glad he filled the void that needed to be filled. There wasn't a manual for this sort of thing as he states in the beginning of the book... until now.
Great advice, information and perspective! Started with a model of Coming Out that seemed more theoretical than applicable, but with that one exception, I found the book very useful and encouraging. After recently coming out late in life, I have many questions and issues on the edge of my awareness, waiting for their turn to be addressed. This book helped me clean house in a mind full of questions and lingering insecurities. It got some of the easy questions out of the way and gave me a perspective or two to help address the more important issues. The book truly helped me move forward in a way few self-help books have because it addressed precisely the questions I have.
