This was the ’90s and a lot of us were terrified of disease. For me, though, the sexy stuff took some time, because when I first went out - and I was taken out, you know, identified and taken along - it was more to see and be seen. But the sex was an important motivation, not just for going to bars, but writing the book. I know some people are mad at me for writing from that angle–like they’d rather I’d written about searching for an alternative family, not a hot daddy.
