1. Charles (25) Charles, a body builder who competes in national shows shares that he sometimes goes goes gay but with specific rules. I don’t care if a guy jerks off while he touches my biceps or chest. Sometimes I’ll let the guy lick me too but it costs extra. I’ve never gotten off in front of another dude. 2. Nathan (31) A male stripper who mostly does private bachelorette parties dressed as a construction worker, Nathan explains why he goes hooks up with other men a few times a year. It doesn’t happen often but 3 or 4 times a year, I’ll let another guy blow me for $200.00. It doesn’t really count because all the other dude is doing is blowing you. Trying to get women to pay you that amount of money for a ten or fifteen gig is almost impossible. 3. Byron (22) Employed as a mailroom worker for a large Fortune 500 company, Byron shares the struggles of being young, broke and straight. Honestly, I don’t do it that often. When I do, it’s just to make extra money to pay bills. My job doesn’t pay enough to cover my expenses. A friend of mine told me about ads you can run on Craig’s List. It’s easy cash. I never bend over for anyone but I have been on the other end [editor’s note – he means top]. 4. Joel (24) Working at a campus bookstore at a university, Joel is completing his graduate degree in health sciences. He shares his reasoning for doing occasional male on male hook- ups. My tuition is ridiculous. Plus, there’s housing costs and money just to be social. I have a girlfriend that likes to do more than just sit inside on weekends. It’s not that hard. I just close my eyes and pretend it’s her when I let the dude get me off. The extra $300- 400 bucks I get a month goes a long way. 5. Kenny (36) In order to make ends meet, this taxi-cab driver in a major metropolitan city on the east coast talks about how going gay (at least temporarily) happens in his line of work. I’ve been driving a taxi for the past five years. I learned real fast that if you pick up fares late at night in the gay area, a few of the guys will hit on you. I won’t lie. Every so often when I’m hurting for money, I’ve whipped it out for tips. You can read what you want into that. I know for a fact I’m not the 43 only taxi-driver doing this.
