Real Journalism (2025) is a collection of writings by Karl Andersson on (as the cover states) sexual politics, history, and culture. These articles appeared in Andersson’s self-published magazines, Destroyer and The Lover between 2006-2017. The book has a particular focus on man-boy love. Andersson includes enlightening accounts from boys who reflect on their sexual relationships with men. He reports on these interactions, and examines the social, economic, and cultural factors which influenced their development. There is much to enjoy and ponder in Real Journalism.

In this article, reviewer Felix Filus focuses on this question: Are the men in these relationships exploiting the boys? All opinions are those of the reviewer, who is not a committee member of Mu.
