DAY ONE
10 a.m.
I like to sleep later part of the. My work is whatever several hours Needs, thus I attempt to never ever arrange any such thing before noon. I am a massage counselor just who works closely with extremely choose clients. I cost about $200 per massage, money, therefore if I do two massages just about every day, I do fine for my self. These days, You Will Find three.
11 a.m.
I’m on gymnasium, my personal favorite invest the whole world. I’ve been exercising since senior high school, and that I are unable to stay without one. Everybody knows myself here and it’s close to a family group for my situation. Some times we exercise twice, but I won’t have enough time for the these days, therefore I you will need to stuff all things in, in one single hour. No teasing or distractions these days. I am a massive flirt, making this difficult for me.
1:30 p.m
. Hop on the train to my basic customer. He’s from the Upper East Side â a very outdated, like 70, extremely rich man. He’s solitary and gay and a huge flirt also. You will find a fairly rigid policy about perhaps not mixing business with delight. (notice: I break this policy a lot more than we worry to confess.) I believe with males like him, it’s fascinating adequate simply to have a younger gay male going for attention; it generally does not need switch intimate.
3:30 p.m.
Maneuvering to next consultation through the UES massage therapy. It had been rather common. The guy provided me with a $50 dollar tip-on top of the $200.
8:30 p.m

9:30 p.m.
My good friend, Trey, attempts to get us to arrived at some orgy tonight â an L.A. manufacturer has actually something at a hotel package. It is right up my personal alley but i am actually exhausted. Plus, In my opinion this guy I’m sure which I absolutely care about, Mikey, shall be truth be told there. The guy will treat myself like shit out in public, rather than better in private to be truthful. Mikey and that I run in alike social groups. Younger, gay, in shape, intimate, «upscale» people checking for a great time. I really like him and now have thoughts for him and then he is actually purely looking-to-fuck sorts of guy, so watching him constantly simply leaves myself feeling like shit (after obtaining banged by him, and is usually a total high). It is complicated!
time TWO
10 a.m.
Got a good night of sleep. My good friend, Carl, is transferring now thus I’m going to his apartment quickly to aid carry the heavy things. He is putting everything in storage space as he discovers a much better apartment. For the time being, he’s staying at their sugar daddy’s house â this sugar father is never home, always jet-setting someplace. It really is a peculiar but style of desirable plan.
11 a.m
. We’re transferring sofas and tables to a U-Haul. Carl is a Broadway actor and his stories are amazing. I was thinking I got in many jizz, but Carl is actually running on it â men visit him behind phase and merely offer to blow him.
3 p.m.
We are having various beers after our very own running the automobile. Carl and I wish to be roommates but he tends to make more money than I do, and he originates from money, so it is only a little shameful. The guy swears he doesn’t mind within the greater part of the book but I feel strange about it.
4:30 p.m.
One massage therapy today but it’s a pal, so it is ok that i would smell like beer.
7 p.m
. I am having a lot more drinks with another pal, Devon, before we drop by an event in Soho. Its on apartment of a single of Carl’s star friends.
9 p.m.
The celebration is actually lit. About 30 attractive guys, all age groups. As of this moment its pretty kepted. People drinking wine and mingling.
10:30 p.m.
Out will come the medications, the fucking. Traditional. I will be drug-free but I don’t determine any individual. We satisfy a mature hitched few, in addition they wish screw. We go into a bedroom. The larger guy bangs me personally while I blow their partner. It really is quite hot.
12 a.m.
Mikey shows up, obviously. I can not break free him. He’s intoxicated or large and being really flirtatious beside me. We return to the bed room that I happened to be only fucked in and commence to fool about. Then he fucks myself. I adore getting with him sexually; the sexual chemistry is from the maps. But as ever, once it really is over, I feel unfortunate about my self. I am not sure exactly why â probably require therapy for that one. We choose to call-it a night.
DAY THREE
10:30 p.m.
Carl found an apartment for all of us to examine so I’m satisfying him there. It’s in Clinton Hill. I do not truly know the location. The area is fairly incredible. We might each have a big bed room and it’s really a fantastic, spacious apartment for functions. Oh the destruction we’re able to perform here â¦
11:45 p.m.
We are trying to puzzle out the monetary logistics. I believe unpleasant.

6:00 p.m.
Very discover the massage therapy proved: Marshall in fact needed a massage. He’s a fitness center addict and constantly actually tight. I did so a complete therapeutic massage and finished right up all skillfully. Once I came back inside space from cleansing my hands, he had been like «arrive here,» therefore we started generating out right after which the guy blew me personally.
9:00 p.m.

time FOUR
9:30 a.m
. I’m functioning sooner than normal now because a pal retained us to do ten-minute massages at their corporate escape (which will be not necessarily a retreat since it’s just at a resort in Williamsburg). He told me all of the guys are married bores who will be straight but probably closeted. In my opinion that is the majority of «straight» guys.
2:30 p.m
. I am happy I’m recharging hourly since they would you like to keep me available for all of those other day. This option tend to be these methods.
5:00 p.m
. I’m meeting Carl prior to his tv series. I made a decision to go for it: rent the apartment together. I just detest my personal roommates much. We lay out all of these principles basic â like, if he is spending money on most of it, he’s got to allow me personally deal with food and cooking and cleaning (I’m rather domestic). I simply want it to feel fair and that I should prevent any issues. I am no genius but I do know that money helps make circumstances odd between friends and really value all of our friendship. And no, we’ve never hooked up!
6 p.m.
I text Mikey to find out if he would like to commemorate my personal new apartment with me. Wine or what maybe not. According to him they have strategies (obviously) but he would want to get together the next day night. Seems good to me.

Over meal I attempt to get prone with Mikey. I tell him I’m not looking a monogamous connection or such a thing traditional but I would like to spend more time with him. He has because of this of deflecting and generating a joke of everything. It isn’t heading everywhere very instead we simply compare gender and orgy stories. Its type a tournament with guys within our class, how much cash we bang weekly. Its a game. I’m sure this will not be my life permanently but i am taking pleasure in in it for the present time.
4:30.p.m.
We separated a bottle of rosé and tend to be returning to Mikey’s house. I don’t know exactly why this one guy can make me feel so good and terrible simultaneously. His roomie is actually home. We make small-talk with him, next go into Mikey’s room and switch the music on. Mikey tells me get down and strike him. The guy fucks my mouth until i am gagging.

6 p.m.
You will find per night session to rub a routine client. I really wanna terminate since Mikey and that I are in reality cuddling and experiencing near. It is terrible to terminate on a customer though, and this is perhaps not four weeks that I can manage to get rid of company. We make myself personally get dressed and then leave. I think it really is good that We walk off when Mikey plainly desires me to remain. It is good to be less open to him.

I got dreams of residing the life span i am residing now: the party existence, straight-out of a motion picture. And that I achieved it. Simon is actually a serial monogamist features been with some one since our very own breakup. His residence every day life is really stable and frankly, boring, and he tells me about it over morning meal.
2 p.m.
Initially customer. Hot, semi-famous star in a hotel area. No funny company however flirtation. I gamble I’ll get some good inebriated, late-night text from him afterwards. I understand these types.
5 p.m.

Now I am informing him concerning time I got banged 5 times in a single night at a Halloween party orgy. It sounds actually horrifying as I say it out loud but honestly, it had been one of the more fun nights of living.
7:30 p.m.
I am over to supper with Albert and a few of their cast users for this tv show he is implementing. Actors are this type of narcissists. I find it boring and text Mikey to see just what he is up to. He does not write right back.
10 p.m.
I’m house. Nothing great is occurring tonight. I’m variety of lonely and particular unused. This is the side-effect on the existence We lead. Some levels and lows. Like we mentioned, I’m sure this way of life don’t endure permanently. We’ll outgrow it or it will outgrow myself. But I’m going to try to delight in myself as far as I can. I go to sleep fantasizing about my subsequent adventures â¦
