#flipping



















Not sure if I mentioned @cute_bogan.
Met him a couple of months back.
He wasn't my usual demographic.
And nor, apparently, was I his regular type.
But we had an intense mutual sexual attraction and that had seemed enough for both of us.
Hopes of any sort of ongoing relationship with @cute_bogan have, however,  been cruelly dashed. 
Despite 2 fun dinners followed by all-night shag sessions, he cancelled our last meeting. 
Said he was sick. 
He did sound sick. 
But then, he always had that nasal westie twang. 
And something told me he was lying.
He then compounded the lie by adding another layer.
"And I'm kinda skint at the moment".
With date being cancelled I made other arrangements and went out to the Darlo Bar. 
Me, 2 friends and only 4 other patrons... one of whom is @cute_bogan.
He looks sheepish. 
Says this must look bad. 
I shrug. 
He says he just had to get out of the house. 
Fair enough. 
He then makes an uncharitable remark about my outfit. 
Says I look very proper. 
In a disdainful way. 
I feel disdain is most unseemly in someone from Rooty Hill.
But refrain from saying so.
Seems he doesn’t like my beard so neatly clippered.
Nor me in a button down shirt with a cashmere sweater.
Prefers me with scruffy beard.
And v-neck t-shirt.
"I am a veritable fashion chameleon", I say, adopting the tone of voice I use when referring to my jean or my shoe in the singular. I thought it was quite funny. 
His response suggested he didn't share my sentiment:
“That’s the thing,” he says. 
“You’re just too queeny.” 
Am aghast.
"Moi??"
"You're really butch in bed. But really, really queeny." 
Am in real quandary with this one. 
I’m loving the butch in bed comment but I’m reeling from really queeny comment. 
I’m not that queeny, I say.
He winces with a wry smile that says, in fact, I am. 
Saunter in a manly fashion over to my friends who immediately ask who I was talking to. 
@cute_bogan, I say. 
He’s hot, they say. 
Apparently too hot for me, I say. 
Said I’m too queeny. 
Was hoping for effusive outburst from friends that I’m not queeny. 
They just shrug. 
I decide to chat to @cute_bogan’s friend. 
@cute_bogan breaks up chat by steering friend away. 
But not before I discover that @cute_bogan had lied to me about his name.
I go back to my friends. 
@cute_westie and friend start laughing. 
It occurs to me that perhaps I am source of embarrassment to @cute_bogan. 
Am not used to being source of embarrassment to anybody other than my parents. 
And to think I was prepared to overlook the fact that he says arxk instead of ask. 
I don’t know where he gets off calling me queeny. 
He was the one lying face down saying "fuck me, sir" 
Refered to his arsehole as his pussy.
And begged me to ‘abuse’ his mouth with my cock. 
Queeny my fuckin’ arse. 
Who the fucking hell do all these guys with their bizarre straight-acting hang-ups fucking well think they are? 
There’s nothing straight about 2 guys having sex so why pretend? Most of their ideas about ‘straight’ actually mean ‘boof head’. Need to find a man with a little bit of class, for whom manliness is about maturity, confidence and a little bit of culture. 
As well as a firm grip on all things financial...
Thought I had found him. 
For a minute.
2 nights after queeny incident, was partaking in a quiet after-work bevy at a not-so-classy venue when I espied handsome, debonair foreign looking type in fabulous shirt and tie combo and some very schmick designer eyewear. 
He looks at me and smiles.
I am suddenly most happy with that morning’s fashion choices.  
I say hi. 
He compliments my outfit. 
Says he doesn’t think Australian men dress well.
Thinks they need a lot of work. 
But I’m an exception. 
Feel patriotic urge to defend my countrymen but actually agree. Nothing about this guy needs work. 
Well, not at this stage anyway. 
@handsome_stranger is from Spain.
He's moved here recently, working at some very high level with Credit Suisse.
Briefly think about the state of Spanish economy and question the wisdom of this decision, but remind myself that a Swiss financial institution is better qualified than I in such matters.
@handsome_stranger has killer accent and smile.
Intelligent and entertaining conversation ensues.
And he is very charming.
He loves that I work in a creative field and says he finds it hard to find people here who are interested in the arts.
Says he'd like to visit the Art Gallery of NSW and asks if I'd like to join him.
We exchange numbers and agree on a date.
We part with a handshake and a kiss on each cheek.
Art gallery visit is a success.
As we're walking through the Domain afterwards he gestures towards the cliffside apartments of Potts Point, asks what area that is, saying he imagines there would be great view from there.
Me: I live just near there.
@handsome_stranger: I’d love to see it.
Me: Sure.
So we trek up the hill to my apartment, and then onto the roof to admire the view.
I make him coffee, which he doesn’t drink.
Instead he grabs me.
And throws me onto the sofa.
The outdoor rooftop sofa.
And then jumps on me. 
Just goes for it. 
Quite unannounced.
But most welcome. 
It’s the full dry root – you know, the fully clothed, pash, grope, frottage thing. 
In full view of all neighbouring apartment blocks and rooftops.
He seems to become suddenly aware of his surroundings.
And comes over all gentlemanly.
Says we should wait until next time. 
Doesn’t happen next time either. 
Date number 2 entails theatre going, ending with a kiss on each cheek and a promise to make me dinner at my house next time. 
I accept, promising to buy exotic ingredients for traditional Catalan meal – which is a sensation. 
Interlude between food preparation and eating, however, is not a sensation. 
Well not the sensation I had anticipated.
"What should we do while we wait for dinner to cook?" he asks. 
No need to respond as he takes my hand and leads me all Harlequin-novel-style to my bedroom. 
Goes the gentle kiss. 
Nice. 
Then throws me on the bed and jumps on me in the manner of teenage boy diving from great height to make maximum splash. 
This guy is over 6 feet tall and about 95kg. 
And, as you know, I am all of 5’7 and 70kg.
He has a nice bod though, even if he is a little rough. 
And hasty. 
Has my t-shirt off in 3 seconds and pulls my jeans down without undoing them. 
Shoes and socks are still on. 
He doesn’t care. 
And as I can’t move, there is little I can do.
Then his jeans are down. 
And it’s out. 
And fuck it’s huge! 
The biggest cock.
I.
HAVE.
EVER.
SEEN.
Like a coke can with a tennis ball taped on. 
I would need an anesthetic and would have said so except he put it in my mouth. 
Yep, just shoved it in. 
Without even asking. 
Gag reflex going crazy.
Gasping for air.
Watering eyes. 
I cough and splutter as I squirm to get out. 
He snakes down and I actually get really scared.
"Um...I don’t think you’re gonna be able to fuck me with that".
"That’s ok", he says "it doesn’t need to be penetrative to be good". 
Phew. 
"We can do other things", he says. 
Relief. 
But only momentary. 
He brings my semi-jean-clad legs together and starts rubbing his cock against the cleavage formed by thighs. 
He then jams my legs together with his huge arms and starts fucking that cleavage.
I feel like the hole in a teenage boy’s mattress. 
He moves up and down like a large freshly caught fish on the deck of a trawler.
And I’m pinned there like a stunned mullet. 
Within minutes he’s doing the whole porno "I’m coming" thing. 
The Breathing. 
The Yes. 
The God. 
Calling me a bitch. 
Telling me he loves me. 
Spitting in my face. 
Then slapping it. 
Pulling my hair. 
He cums between my legs with an almighty groan.
Followed by a painful bite on the neck.
He then collapses completely. 
For a few dreadful seconds I think he is dead and I am Private Benjamin.
Then up he jumps, teenage-like vigour found anew. 
Let’s eat, he says, pulling up his jeans. 
I lie there for a minute, then fall off the bed, jeans still around my ankles. 
I stagger to the table, buttoning up my jeans and wishing I’d remembered to wipe my legs before pulling jeans back up. 
He has already served dinner and started without me. 
Meal is great. 
Conversation non-existent.
He has table manners of a pig, which ordinarily I would have overlooked in the cook of such a meal.
With his final mouthful, he bounds from table, compliments himself on the meal (with mouth still full) and asks if I want to have sex again. 
"Um, I’m a little tired. Maybe next time". 
"Ok", he says, and leaves. 
I open another bottle of wine.
Which I finish in 30 minutes.
Smoking 4 cigarettes in that time.
I then have shower, wash dishes, stack dishwasher and get on Grindr. 
All I want is a versatile man with a brain, some manners and a more easily accommodated cock.
Is that really too much to arxk?

#stumped

















You won’t believe this one.
It’s a goody.
Was at The Shift.
Just for something different.
And as per usual, standard of other patrons was fairly low.
I therefore was able to consider myself one of the better looking people.
And therefore confident enough to talk to anyone.
Found one unoccupied bar stool.
As I sat down I smiled to boy on neighbouring stool and he immediately looked in other direction.
Self-esteem had momentary plummet.
Thought “fuck you,” ordered beer and surveyed the room.
Self-esteem rose again as hot muscle man across bar winked.
I winked back but not before guy on bar stool on my other side nodded at hot muscle man.
Wink was not for me.
Hating that.
Go for gulp of beer and turn in other direction.
Sudden movement not a good idea.
Beer dribbles down chin as first unsmiling neighbour happens to look in my direction.
Give my best Jewish Mother shrug and wipe chin in manner of Solo Man.
Neighbour smiles.
Smile back.
Offer to buy him a drink.
He responds enthusiastically and, for first time, I notice he is actually quite cute, if a little geeky.
But geeky can work.
In moderation.
And it seems geeky can work it too.
In addition to thanking me when I give him his beer he tells me that when I first sat down he thought I looked really cool and too good looking to talk to.
Kinda loving that.
While thinking it's ridiculous.
Although not completely.
He goes on to ruin it though.
By then saying that when I spilt my beer he thought maybe I wasn’t cool at all.
Translation: not a tosser.
Then he said that when he looked me right in the face and I was smiling I wasn’t too good looking either.
Go for another gulp of beer.
Then realise that nervous, charmless neighbour is looking sidewards at me.
Maybe I’m in.
Cast discreet glance at watch and cursory scan of other patrons and decide I should run with this one.
Smile again.
He smiles back.
Right.
Start with the unimaginative, “So, how has your night been?” and hope he won’t ask if I come here often.
Seems he’s a little lonely.
Doesn’t go out much.
Doesn’t have many gay friends.
Thought he’d venture out in search of companionship (his word). Have visions of him asking me to hold him.
Then he does it: asks me if I come here often.
More often than I’d like to admit, my usual reply to this question. 
Then suddenly he’s out with the one I didn't expect quite so soon:
“Do you want to go?” he asks.
“Where?” I ask.
“My place,” he says.
“Where do you live?”
“Surry Hills.”
Bingo.
A nice walk home or a maximum $20 cab ride if I have a really bad time.
Sure.
We both go for simultaneous scull of beer.
Polish off simultaneously.
Begin to alight bar stools simultaneously.
I succeed quite quickly and nimbly.
Feel chuffed at momentary, and uncharacteristic show of athleticism.
Neighbour struggling somewhat.
Clearly sporting some kind of injury.
Nice.
A little vulnerable.
He looks embarrassed so I decide not to ask.
We leave kinda slowly, other patrons making way for the guy with the limp.
I now feel like a predator.
Oh well. It’s late, fairly dark and at least I’m leaving with somebody. Angry aggressive midget who has tried to pick me up on countless occasions shoots me venomous look, clearly aggrieved by the fact that I am selective, even within disabled world.
Focus on my own physical imperfections and feel most egalitarian. On leaving the bar I decide not to suggest walking and hail a cab. In we hop.
Well, I do.
He slides gently. 
Regret sudden forgetting of manners and wish I’d held the door and let him go first.
Am redeemed when cab pulls up and I quickly running around and open door for him.
He shoots me a “you’re-not-serious?” look.
Seems I can’t win.
I also forgot to pay.
He has some difficulty retrieving wallet from back pocket while half out of cab with leg that is difficult to bend.
Am feeling most awkward now.
Oh well, at least I bought him a beer.
Look at height of multi-leveled building we’ve arrived at and hope there is a lift.
Or he lives on ground floor.
Neither.
Well there is a lift.
But it's broken.
And he only lives on the first floor.  
But that’s enough.
We take the fire stairs.
Very slowly.
Has to have a crazy little rest on the halfway landing.
I smile encouragingly.
He ignores it and ploughs on.
We finally arrive at his apartment.
Great loft style with the most fabulous stuff.
Crippled shag has just gone to top of husband-material list.
Take another look at his face and convince myself that he is actually very handsome, and looks both intelligent and kind.
Tick, tick, tick.
It’s then that I notice 12-inch Cher doll on sideboard.
Am fast rubbing out those ticks.
Shield my eyes and turn away.
He doesn’t notice, turns on iPod, a dim light and motions towards the sofa.
I sit down on edge and wait for him to ease himself down.
He leans right back, legs astride, eyes closed and puts his hand on my back.
Not sure what to do, I look over and he licks his lips.
One hand moves slowly over my back as his other goes to his own crotch.
I put my hand on his knee.
He flinches.
I quickly remove it.
I go the slow lean, carefully avoiding any limbs.
Tentatively kiss him.
And it’s like a switch is flicked.
HE. IS. ON.
Totally going for it.
Lies right back, pulling me into dry hump position between his now not-so sensitive legs.
Tears my shirt open, rips off my T-shirt and proclaims his love of hairy men.
Thinks we’re virile.
I think of all the hairy guys I know who are big girls.
Shelve that thought.
I go for the top button of his jeans.
Get two of them undone and he pushes my hand away and kind of sits up.
“There’s something I have to tell you.”
Oh God.
I just wanna shag and he wants to open his heart.
Think of all the guys I have met lately who have volunteered everything from extensive STIs to cancer, to husbands, to wives within the first 30 seconds of meeting and wonder if this is where this is going.
Seems none of those are his issue.
It’s his leg.
Or lack of leg.
Clearly not his fault.
Accident with machinery on his uncle’s farm.
Not the whole leg.
From the knee down.
Very sad.
Really tragic.
Farm element kind of erotic though.
Quash that thought and adopt compassionate expression.
Tells me he got some amazing pay out, hence fabulousness of apartment and contents.
Cher doll is inexplicable.
He is only 24.
Cher doll makes no sense at all.
Ignore the Cher doll and make offer to not go any further if he is uncomfortable.
On the contrary, he is so up for it, just wanted to tell me before his jeans came off.
In case I was uncomfortable with it.
I am, of course, extremely uncomfortable with it.
Don’t actually find it a turn off per se, but feel like a pervert. 
Discreetly look around for evidence of hidden camera.
Decide my quarry is cute enough to risk being branded a pervert and tell him that I’m cool with it.
Actually turns out to be quite practical.
Stump doesn’t get in the way. 
Actually leans nicely against my shoulder.
Prosthetic leg lying on floor next while I’m fucking him makes me more uncomfortable than lack of actual leg.
Like some kind of twilight zone Chuckie about to come to life and ruin the moment.
Didn’t happen.
And moment was great.
Shag relaxes him completely, he cooks me supper and we have great conversation.
I left in the wee small hours with a phone number and a declaration of very strong urge for round 2.
Send the thanks-for-a-great-night text the next day.
No response.
Doesn’t faze me.
Wait the obligatory 2 days for follow up phone call.
Phone rings out.
Wait another 24 hours before calling again.
Phone eventually goes to voicemail.
I leave a message.
He never called.
I didn’t try again.
I was quite puzzled.
Then pissed off.
Then puzzled again.
Guy with one leg doesn’t want follow up shag.
Am thinking that surely his options are fairly limited, and that even if I’m not his ideal man, I’d still be better than nothing.
Apparently not.
Feel like George from Seinfeld who couldn’t get a second date with the bald woman because she preferred a slimmer guy.
Check waistline.
Last gym visit a fortnight ago.
Must be the reason.
Am placing myself on celebrity diet.
Remember Cher doll and am thinking I am better off.

#uncool























My second walk of shame for the weekend was the very next morning.
Technically speaking it was the afternoon.
And I was still in my dinner jacket.
Attracted many a disapproving glance as I zigzagged along Macleay St.
The night before I had been to a glamourous black tie event for the 30th birthday of @gorgeous_princess.
Who had insisted on introducing me to everybody as her “gay friend”.
Unbeknownst to @gorgeous_princess, I was not the lone gay partygoer.
Seems that @dark_horse who works in @handsome_banker_fiance’s office has not had a lady rider in a long time.
Was very happy for me to hop in that saddle.
So we discreetly rode into the sunset.
Actually we took ourselves to Arq.
Where it was presumed that we were straight because of the dinner jackets.
Created quite a stir with a dancefloor pash.
Didn’t stay long though.
Was havin’ a chill on the banquette by the downstairs revolving door as this majestic drag queen who looked about 23 feet tall came staggering down the stairs, clutching the banister for dear life.
She stopped half way.
Stared me right in the eye.
And with a voice like Louis Armstrong, bellowed at me “How are ya, trashbag?”
‘Twas then that I knew I should leave.
Apparently @dark_horse and I left together.
We even went home.
We might have had sex but neither of us is sure.
So at least if I were a dud root he can’t remember.
And nor can I.
But last night’s root.
Now that was great.
And despite the fact that the day began with a vodka shot, my memories of the sexual encounter are quite clear.
And I’m so signing up for more.
But I’m going to exercise uncharacteristic self-restraint. 
And not call until next weekend.
Even though the salesman in me wants to call tomorrow and schedule in the next appointment.
As does the bunny boiler in me.
However, the sane and rational human being in me (who doesn’t often get much of a look in) has advised me to play it cool.
Which I’m gonna do.
Right after I google him.
