The process my social existence, or loss of it, sees me strengthen from loner to headbanger, hedonist, drunkard and politico. for many years, my sexual nature used to be a conundrum to myself, as I handed from heterosexual to bisexual to gay, alternately indulging and disdaining transvestism and sado-masochism. The sexual descriptions are roughly medical, instead of erotic, yet they can be specific. I make no apology for that. No sincere or sufficient booklet approximately self-discovery may possibly both forget about intercourse or deal with it perfunctorily.
