Foreword

“With the new tolerance, there has bloomed in most major cities in America the ‘gay’ (homosexual) world,” says Tristram Coffin in THE SEX KICK. “It has its own communities, its own ‘marriages,’ its own grand balls in costume, its special hangouts or bars, its own communications, its own prostitutes.”

The process of a young gay coming out, then, certainly isn’t as difficult as it once was, especially in the larger cities where media exposure often informs interested men where they can go to make contact with those in the homosexual community. Where a gay of an older generation was often forced into suspecting he was alone in his sexual leanings, the modern youth in the city has only to scan a whole gamut of magazines found on the newsstands to find hints, clues, and even direct references made to places where gays gather.

Unfortunately, there is still an uninformed segment of America that continues to exist beyond the new enlightenment found in the cities. There are small towns that have no visible gay life: places where a young homosexual can still feel isolated and completely alone. Many gay men, born and raised in these locales, stay there, suppressing inner needs and desires for which they have no visible outlets, Others are somehow able—through luck or chance—to discover that they are not alone, that there are literally hundreds of young men out there in the world who are of equal sexual persuasion.

Those within the latter group are able to discover that there is indeed an opportunity for them to live rewarding lives that simultaneously allow for male-male attraction, male-male sex, and male-male love—if just by traveling a few miles from rural farm to big city environment.

This is a novel concerning one of the lucky ones. One of those who, before he could screw up his life by attempting to mold himself completely into the accepted (if archaic) middle American ideal, was allowed a peek at the world beyond his parents’ farm in Hellsport, Nebraska.

It is the story of one young man’s search for his sexual identity. A search that is sparked by a witnessed sexual act in a country barn and which is brought to further fruition in a big city YMCA steam room.

Read, then, of Bobby Powell who was determined to make the transition from farm to city, from frustrated gay to a young man who could be completely comfortable with his own sexuality.
