Way Behind On My Quota

Of course, when a homophobe claims that all or most gay men are sluts and throws out a phony statistic like “the average gay man has sex with 500 partners by the time he’s 50,” it’s bullshit. Most of us simply don’t have that kind of energy or sex drive. It’s a lie, and at the core is the questionable idea that being a slut is necessarily a bad thing.

Some gay men do have that many partners, and some straight people have that many partners, too. So what? 2015 is the year that I will turn 50, and I wish I had blown 500 guys. I have PTSD and extreme social phobia, so I was hardly ever on the make in the last thirty years. My mental health prevented me from pursuing one of my greatest passions—beautiful, slim, somewhat effeminate, sweet, gentle young men. Now that I’m middle-aged and overweight, few would be interested in playing around with me.

I wish I had done it with a lot more men. All those people who think it’s wrong, or shallow and nasty… I don’t want their respect. You can’t win the respect of people like that anyway. They’ll just find something else to judge you for. So I say, fuck ‘em, and get on your knees—or on your back or whatever—as often as you want.
