High praise since that's the entire reason I started writing fanfic. Actually, to help myself learn how to write men I bought My First Time: Gay Men Describe Their First Same-Sex Experience edited by Jack Hart -- and read it cover-to-cover. Apparently there are four volumes now, but I have volume 1 (sorry about the cheesy cover) and the stories are written by regular guys most of whom aren't writers, and what they notice, their attitude, the voice... it's just like steeping yourself in canon and picking up the character voice.
