Beautifully written; poignant, not too self-indulgent, witty and wise all at the same time. Thanks for sharing! As up and coming (don't take that the wrong way) actor/writer, I can relate on so many levels.

By the way, sorry if it sounded like I was bashing you Paul. I think I'm as frustrated with the way I get caught up in this line of thought as I was with hearing it again in your piece.

Wow. Lively conversation here...
I guess we all suffer from this. I once read a book about the struggle between the sexual equality and sexual liberation movements. It's a bit dated now, but interesting history. I sometimes wonder what we've lost by putting forth all these hyper-masculine, "normal" white guys as the faces of our community. I think we have far less good sex now than we could otherwise. There's a lot more judgement, performance, and loneliness in our community than there needs to be. It seems like that's something that a lot of people sense, and that we could work on - though I'm not exactly sure how, since attraction is as personal as it is social.
Thoughts anyone??

They never do! It's always "I love the big cock. Why doesn't the big cock love me back?"

For what it's worth, I (the writer) don't find my sexual tastes either cosmopolitan or liberated. Think how many people you're senselessly ruling out! Having a type is a confinement, a limitation. It's something I suffer from.

i wonder if that's what the author is saying here. or if he still doesn't recognize his part in creating this cycle of hurt?

The search for the perfect body seems to be what fucks gay men over every time. When will we learn?

Everytime I hear a gay man refer to a "skinny, well hung, butch and athletic in bed" guy as "his type", I'm taken straight back to straight boy high school talk. I'm left wondering when we'll get a story from some guy who calls "skinny, tight, feminine, and wild in bed" girls "his type" - and why that seems laughable, while the gay equivilent is somehow passed off as cosmopolitan and liberated.
I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on this...
