Dear Troy
All right, all right, I thought it was clearly meant that I was just using "bb" as shorthand for "bareback." I certainly don't go around saying "bb" instead of "bareback," and I guess I'd usually spell it out in writing, too. Anyway, I liked the image of the child.
I'm still surprised, however, that you said first that you'd lost work because you wouldn't perform "condom-free" as if there were some distinction between that and "bareback," "raw," etc.
I guess I'd advocate that polyamory makes more sense than polygamy or anything else. That's a long conversation, though. I think I'd probably fit best in a triad relationship, but I haven't had the chance to try it out.
In the past you were virulently opposed to gay marriage and contemptuous of anyone who advocated it, tacitly or not. Your stance didn't seem predicated on reservations about divorce or proposals for alternative legal frameworks giving same-sex couples the right to hospital visits and such. What changed?
I have read A Traveler Other and An American Nigger in San Juan. I haven't read your plays because when I initially searched for them I couldn't find them. I haven't tried in a while. Could you point me in the right direction? I know a community theater that might be willing to produce one or more, but obviously I'd have to read them before making recommendations. Which playwrights do you admire? I'm dissatisfied with most contemporary theater; I wish Pinter were still alive and writing. Have you seen the collaborations he did with Joseph Losey? I think Accident is the best.
I can see you being interested in Teddy Roosevelt. You share the same wanderlust he had and the desire to put pen to paper (sort of) about it. Unfortunately you don't have the same freedom of passage he did, in wealth, skin color, connections, or outsized reputation.
I'm always working on several books at once. Now it's histories of Reconstruction and Jim Crow.
I hope what I'm writing is giving you more than an idea of my personality, interests, etc. I have an undergrad degree from Harvard with a few grad courses, but no real progress toward a grad degree for various reasons, including fear of massive debt. I also think it's a lot more important to have a native intelligence than a college degree. An American, I've traveled overseas and lived for several years abroad in a non-English-speaking country. I read a lot, mostly non-fiction. I write some, too.
I imagine you want to know something about me physically. I'm in my 40s, pretty short, and fairly hairy. I'm white, with brown hair and hazel eyes. I've put on some extra pounds in the past few years, but living in a really cold climate is a major part of the problem. I'm in a new exercise regimen that's getting rid of the belly, though. Once I get the body I want or come close to it (and probably need if I want you to fuck me---and maybe more?), I hope we could be workout partners. :)
Thanks for the interest....

DEAR ANONYMOUS:
I'm very happy to read you've read a couple of my books (and, apparently, frequent my web logs)! What you write concerning my stance on same-sex marriage, and, really, the tone of your wording, intrigues me because it implies we've discussed it at length and, yet, Anonymous, that is a topic which I don't casually discuss with people; especially those who, like yourself I gather, have a very different id est favorable or nonchalant opinion of the issue. So now Troy is combing the old memory bank to narrow down those few persons with whom such a loaded topic would have been deemed appropriate to knock around for, you see, I do not mistake arguments for conversation.
In the meantime, your physical description, while not abetting my memory, sounds extremely conducive to your surroundings. Fairly hairy...white...some extra pounds...cold climate. I shall henceforward refer to you as Polar Bear! It's ironic that such a proud homosexual attempts to remain so hidden while simultaneously inquisitive of moi. Tsk, tsk, tsk. (Btw, PB, the use of the diminutive 'belly' instead of 'stomach,' 'midsection' or 'abdomen' does filter my search of past acquaintances).
As to the tag of porn scenes, please call it whatever you like but the take-away is this: an uncovered dick by any other name is the typecast I'm expected to oblige. Some guys seem to get off with calling it breeding or raw fucking. Me? Without thinking about it, I'm much more likely to say "fucking without condoms" than "bareback." But, like I said, an uncovered dick by any other name....
Thank you for my nickname! I'll try to use it as much as possible from now on. The biggest question now is whether you find polar bears attractive enough to fuck.... :) You seem to like men with minds, so maybe the physical attributes most tantalizing to you can lose their temptation when your potential fuckee opens his (or her) mouth and reveals that little gray matter is in use.
ReplyDeleteI'd hoped I'd shared enough (and continue to share enough) to let you know more about me. I'm not trying to hide things from YOU. I'm trying to keep my identity and privacy secure from the Internet, its gossips, its trolls, its thieves. I'd like to sign my own name anywhere and everywhere, but I usually don't. When I do, it's when I sign a petition or write a really important letter or comment, mostly on local websites, about police brutality, water rights, or other situations that most demand standing up and being counted. If there's one thing I can be trusted to do, it's speaking up when no one else will. That means I suffer consequences others don't, but I couldn't look at myself in the mirror otherwise.
Anyway, remember that a few comments ago I proposed a way to speak more directly. I'm open to other ideas. (And I'm still interested in your plays and any other reading recommendations or commentary on your own work or others' you're willing to send.)
Although you think we've talked in person or on another forum about gay marriage (or any other issue), we haven't. I wish...! As I've said before, I've fantasized about "crushing" you in debates (but the fantasy went farther), although you're wise to separate polemics from conversation, which is usually more productive and almost always friendlier! I know we could have some interesting and valuable conversations, partly in Nietzsche's sense---playful seriousness and serious playfulness---and partly in Gramsci's---optimism of the will and pessimism of the intellect. The latter seems to sum up what you've lived through, that is, how you've approached (had to approach?) a lot of your experience. It seems there's no other way you could live your particular nomadic existence, the one you must have in your own skin, a skin that is so beautiful, whose sweat is so much like a miraculous oasis in deserts of being that I want to be there to drink it (you) up, but that idiot others see as the terrible cause and/or deserved effect of second-, third-, or tenth-class status. Maybe it would be better for a while to see what it's like to have a white guy along who's fine with few possessions but still has plenty of white privilege to throw around. We could practice our polyamory, calibrate it, bring home guys to play with or just play ourselves (even if you'll want a woman sometimes). And there will be discussions galore and some burdens lifted from you or shared.
