“Desire and war make a recipe for hot, frenzied sex—but not intimacy. In my late teens and early twenties, intimacy was beyond me; my needs were too urgent, too desperate. It had to be obvious to the women I was seeing then that they were a haven for me, shelter from the storm. Maybe that was enough. Maybe I was a haven for them as well.”
Jessie Kornbluth describes his struggles with intimacy and desire in his essay “Sex and Drugs Made Me A Man.” See him discuss his experiences and more on 11/17/09 in NYC: http://thegaycenternycreading.eventbrite.com/

“Fight or Flight” by Kent George tells the story of one man’s attempt to deal with his past.
Believe me any referee in his or her right mind would stop this fight: I’ve got my hands down by my sides, and I’m not trying to block or even avoid punches. My mom’s got her fists balled up, and she’s trying to show me what to do from the kitchen window. After a minute or two she just grunts, shakes her head, and shuts the window in disgust.
