               dreams. I feel a need to practice every nuance from kissing to
               fisting to become sexually expert, so that the perfect man of my
               fantasy, when he shows up, will find me ready, willing and able to
               do whatever trip he prefers. I’ll never say no to him.
                   How sad to find, then lose, the love of your life, because you
               can’t do whatever is his prime pleasure. If I ever find him, and I
               will find him, I never want to have to say to him, no matter what
               it is, “I’m not into that.”
                   Perversatility is the ultimate homomasculinist talent.

               Solly Blue telephoned Ryan who clicked on his recording machine.
            He could tell by Solly’s voice he was ’luded out and in the mood for one
            of his monologs. Ryan had only to listen.

                   Tiger’s just one of my problems. My boys are ganging up on
               me. The one thing they learn in the joint is that a homo is an easy
               score. They’ve manipulated me, because I let them. I’ve violated
               one of my own rules: Never fall in-love with a hustler. Always
               remember that, Ry. Never fall in-love with a hustler. They’re all
               so charming, but the charm is wearing off. They want money,
               drugs, attention, beer, sex. I can’t cut them off cold the way you
               can tell a reasonable friend no. Friends just go off and pout. When
               I tell a kid who’s done hard time no, he takes it real personally.
               He gets vicious.
                   Last night, Tiger’s buddy Ray who made that great video last
               week, sat here drinking a couple quarts of beer because his parole
               officer doesn’t see him for another two weeks. So he’s drinking
               and smoking grass. He’ll quit three or four days before he has to
               take his next urinalysis. Why am I in this business? I work twelve
               hours a day seven days a week.
                   Have you ever noticed there are no old pornographers. Did
               you ever notice that? I started out as a model when I was eighteen.
               By twenty I was on the other side of the camera. By twenty-seven
               I had this video business going. Now it’s got me going. I’ve been
               institutionalized by my own business. My business was once my
               pleasure. Sex with hustlers isn’t even pleasurable anymore. My
               hand works better. And cheaper. If I’d go out and have sex with
