> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > So … this guy with the Atavistic Mustache (didn’t they open for Vanilla Fudge at the Fillmore back in '68?) runs across this poor wretch of a gay prostitute (who happily announces his penis size for all and sundry on the internet) and decides to get him on the straight and narrow … by whisking him off for an all expenses-paid European vacation. > > Yeah, I’m sure he’s seen the error of his ways. Yeah, it’s a real Oliver Twist sort of story, complete with a Christian willing to lead him to the Lord. (Lord in Greek is Kyros, by the way.) And Lucien will obviously stand by Rekers as long as he needs him. He did, certany, tell him to consider himself at home, one of the family. ---

I know it is entirely possible to have straight sex in a twin bed. Sleeping after? Not so much. But sex? Sure. I would assume the same is true of gay male sex. Not good enough – as cover, I mean. ---

> [@Tom\_Scud](#): > > I do believe you misspelled “climax” there. My mistake. It had something to do with calling out to God, I’m pretty sure. I really feel for people who were raised to believe (and absorbed those beliefs) that homosexuality is evil, all the while having to repress their own growing feelings and tormenting themselves with the guilt they feel. Using anti-gay activism as your way to purge those feelings of guilt? Sorry, I just lost any sympathy. ---

> [@matt\_mcl](#): > > Someone on the board once provided a provocative explanation for these guys: It could be that right-wing gay homophobes are simply not aware that most men who identify as heterosexual have no or very little erotic attraction to other men; they figure that all men feel attraction to guys and that others are just better at suppressing it. Hell, we have a right-wing trog on this board (naturally, he’s a hulking mountain of muscle ex-Marine - cuz everyone on the Internet is) who has opined about how he has to spend a lot of time fighting against his urges to get a mouth full of sweet sweet hairless Fillipino boy. -Joe ---
