Here's a look back at the highlights (or low) of my gay life, plus some things just worth remembering:
Most Dangerous Place For Sex-Type Stuff
A guy gave me a blowjob inside a parked jeepney. (Who owns it? We didn't know!) Just around the corner, a group of loud, drunk men guzzled hard liquor, and goddamn, they could've caught us. The neighborhood was also reputably dangerous; even the rats looked like they wanted to mug you. I'm never taking that stupid risk again.
Disappearance I Mourn Most
Gelly. It was a brief friendship. Last time I saw him, he was dead broke. He was living in this tiny shack whose landlord was about to throw him out, and he fed on one piece of bread a day, bought from the sari-sari store. He never asked money from me, but I gave him a paltry amount the last time we met. I wish I'd given him more. The last time he called, I wasn't able to answer. I couldn't contact his celphone anymore. I think maybe he sold it. I am worried shitless. I wish I could get some kind of reassurance that he's okay.
Biggest Callboy Crush
Vega. In my mind, he's like an icon now. The movie star figure. The one who's so much cooler than me that thinking about him makes me horny yet insecure. I like him, I hate him, I want to fuck him.
Biggest Celebrity Crush
Christian Vasquez.
Most Regretted "Indian" Moment
Elmer.
Best Couple, 1
Marc brought me to his friend's apartment, where we proceeded to make out on the bed beside his sleeping friend. Friend wakes up and joins in. A repeat happens a month or so later, when after boozing me up, I let them assault my body with their tongues.
Cheapest Trick
Middle-aged guy pays me 100 bucks just to take a peek at my weenie. In a public restroom, he stood beside me in the urinals and jerked off with his eyes on my dick. Easy hundred. I'm so cheap.
Best Hug
Marco.
Best Cum
A guy who calls himself Cool. All over my chest, man. Warm and plenty. I was a rag and I loved it.
Best Fantasy Come To Life
Jojo. I bought this Pinoy gay magazine two years ago because I found him sexy on the cover. Last summer, we bumped each other on the street and what I previously did only in my imagination, I did to him in the flesh.
