After shopping one Saturday morning, I found myself sitting the ‘PM-AM’ gay bar at twelve-thirty in the afternoon. As the name suggests, those were there operating hours of the bar and it was open from noon until midnight. I wasn’t a regular patron but once every couple of months I would pop in and have a drink. That Saturday morning had been a really enjoyable one and after a hearty breakfast, all my shopping had gone fl...

Part Two: At around twelve p.m. we arrived at the neighbours. After stripping the usual kissing and hugging took place. Maybe it was because I had showered earlier, but I got the impression that Jeff and Joe were ever riper than usual. In fact, my father was also giving off quite a pong. He had not showered when he arrived at our home earlier that morning. It appeared that we would first be having lunch before the fun beg...

Part One: I was born in 1958. By the age of sixteen, I had led the most ordinary and naïve life. That was soon to change rather dramatically. My father, Mike, and mother Catherine had gotten married rather young. My dad was twenty-two at that time and my mother eighteen. As I would later learn, they were forced to marry after I was conceived. In those days you did the right thing and took responsibility for your actions....

Nancy was a really devoted nurse. Great nursing is a gift that very few people are born with, you either have it or you don’t. If you are empathetically challenged, then it is not your calling. In the oncology section of the hospital she worked in, Dr. Johnson recognized her special talent with the terminal patients and often made mention of it to her. In fact, he was the one to advise Nancy to become a freelance night nu...

William, known as Billy, was very successful. He was a brilliant stockbroker and had the Midas touch. He was a big and strikingly good-looking man. At the age of forty, he had everything going for him. He was married to a stunning woman and had two teenage kids, two beautiful homes and everything that would make ninety-nine per cent of the population turn green with envy. Billy, however, had a deep dark secret. He was bi-...

Growing up I was totally fascinated by geology. Rock formations etcetera fascinated me beyond belief. This would seem quite normal for most guys, but for a gay man it was like being like a fish out of water, and at university, I stuck out like a sore thumb. With seventy-five per cent of the geology students being robust males and the other quarter no-nonsense females, my diminutive stature and persona made me look like a...

Glyn was blond, blue-eyed, handsome, well-built, and the perfect bottom. In any club or bar Glyn always got who Glyn wanted and once he had made his pick, all the other queens could squabble for the leftovers. At the age of twenty-three, he was in the prime of his life. Fortunately, he wasn’t too arrogant; a trait that would have made his already good looks totally intolerable. Glyn, nevertheless, loved having the upper h...

Deciding to become healthier had interesting consequences for me. By the age of twenty-eight, I had put on a few extra pounds and when an acquaintance of mine paid tribute to my enlarging hipline at the pub one evening, I decided that action needed to be taken. I made a decision to start jogging in the hills behind my home. There was an enjoyable path that meandered through that area and day by day, I began to extend the...

When Gwyneth and Evan met they hit it off very well. They were sexually compatible and within two months they were living together. They decided to move into Gwyneth’s apartment because it was a lot more tastefully decorated and also in a better part of town. Evan retained a few of the bits and pieces that he had in his apartment, before disposing of the rest.Three months on, both were pleased with their cohabitation and...

After a difficult relationship with Laura, I moved into my own apartment. Creating a bond with someone who is not able to sever ties with a former lover can put great strain on any relationship. Our liaison always felt overcrowded and I found it difficult to live in another person’s shadow. The ups, downs, and frequent mood swings finally got the better of me and I made the decision to move on. Any remorse that I felt was...

Donnie and Calvin were stepbrothers and were born one year apart. Calvin was the elder of the two, and to be exact, was one-year and two days older than Donnie. Despite the closeness of their birthdays, they belonged to two different star signs. Calvin was a Scorpio and Donnie a Sagittarius. Their personalities and looks were as different as their astrological signs, and by the time Donnie was sixteen and Calvin seventeen...

Tiernan was black Irish, rough black Irish. When he was growing up his family had a mobile home and they were forced to move from time to time when their presence was deemed unsavoury in an area. Naturally, the kids he encountered, especially the boys, were tough and fist fights were a regular occurrence. The fights were often encouraged by the fathers who enjoyed betting on the outcomes. In this environment, the rod was...

Growing up I was the anonymous child. In a family of five children, I was number three. My eldest brother, the firstborn, was a total hell-raiser. Number two, my sister, was a drama queen. Number four, my second sister, was the ADD/ADHD Ritalin sibling among her many other disorders, and number five my youngest brother was the darling of our tribe. He could do no wrong and always got away with murder. My entire childhood...

Evan grew up in a tough environment and was a lot smaller than his two older brothers and large father. Being the runt of the litter life could’ve been far harder for him, but thankfully compassion and tolerance ran in his family. Evan was also the apple of his diminutive mother’s eye, a feisty woman whom one didn’t want to mess with.Like the rest of his family, Evan wasn’t academically inclined. He wasn’t stupid but came...

Friendships often flower after difficult beginnings. This was precisely what happened with Vincent Di Marco and Bryce Dingley. They could not have been more exact opposites. Vincent was five-foot-five-inches tall and looked for the most part like a stocky horse jockey. Vincent was unconventionally good-looking. He had a darkish complexion and riveting hawk-like brown eyes, which always gave his face a somewhat stern demea...
