ABSTRACT
I've occasionally made reference to some couple I know or knew. No big deal, right? Everyone knows couples. Graham and David, David and Glen, Juan and Brian, Galen and Greg, Galen and Jim, Marc and Joe ... there was a period of time when I seriously thought that I was addicted to couples. And why not? For someone like me, an incurable romantic without the ability to maintain romantic feelings, being a third wheel in a couple is the ideal situation: it allows me all the pleasurable feelings of being in a relationship, the warm snuggles of sleeping with a "lover," without the difficulties of having to live with him. I maintained that I got as much "good energy" from a night spent between Juan and Brian as I ever did from any of my more long-term lovers. ·
This didn't develop consciously, however. I just came to realize that my life was filled with these men, and that some of my best times were being spent with them. Usually in bed.
