First time gay men
Dad died when I was six. The rabbi who lived in the apartment below took over for him. I’m sure he wanted to do Mom. They packed us off to an evil Hasidic summer camp where everyone made fun of us because we didn’t know their crazy prayers. My brother was four. We would secretly meet in the woods, hug each other and wail. We couldn’t perceive why our father died and our mother sent us to this terrible place. I learned to hate all religion and still do.
Mom was a dark-haired, curvaceous looker, juicy, and in her prime. She liked sex but decided that all men had to pay for it. The butcher brought steaks; the florist, flowers; the bagel man left fresh hot steaming bagels by our door every morning for months. Leon, the ice cream man left ice cream. My younger brother and I were fast dispatched to acquire the stuff into the house, so they couldn’t observe Mom. And not to forget Abe, the jeweler, who brought, well, jewels. They all tried to get inside. Some did. When Mom met the dude who brought it all, she married him.
We lived in Borough Park, in Brooklyn. Until I ran away, I thought everyone in the world was either Jewish or Italian. I was intimidated by all the dark, Brooklyn-rough I
14."I went on a trip to a tropical country. I start a small, secluded, resort-type place with a bar while exploring the area. I spent the entire day there while the male, early 20s bartender served me. He had a blinding smile. At one point, he told me that no one else was around and that I could swim in the pool, naked, if I wanted. I said 'screw it' and did. He kept serving me drinks and talking, and I later said I was gonna get out and go interpret by the beach. He told me since no one else was there he was gonna close the area for an hour and that I didn't have to put my clothes back on. He walked me over to the hammock and kept complimenting my body. I was into it, so I didn't stop him. He sort of felt me up as I got into the hammock (I let him), and he eventually made his way down on me..."
"This was my first (and only) time a guy had gone down on me. He got naked and offered to go further. I told him I could try but only with protection. He came back with condoms, and I tried but couldn't stay up. He asked if he could try, and at this show I just felt I was all in anyway, so I was down.
It was an absorbing experience. I was taller and physically bigger and had never been
Advice for Your First Gay Meet
Taking a right on Fletcher Cruise on the eastside of Los Angeles, there’s a billboard with two male figures under a caption that reads, “Sorry, This Is My First Age Being Gay.” To this day, I have no lead what the billboard is advertising, but my friends and I quote it reflexively whenever we take Fletcher to the I-5. There is something both deeply relatable and incredibly nonsensical about that phrase. The anxiety and insecurity that comes with your first sexual same-sex encounter is universal in the queer community, and yet the plan that “being gay” is something that can be activated in a available moment is absurd.
Your first homosexual date, whether that be in elevated school or your late thirties, can feel daunting. At the time I started questioning my sexuality, I was working in the college library shelving books during the evening shift. As a hapless dork with anxiety, every time I was in the “queer theory section” (which was expansive in my liberal arts school), I would sit on the floor and scan through book after book in the hopes that some gay savvy would be absorbed through the words.
