            No man is alone. No matter how private or personal or secret or severe his magnificent obsessions, a man deserves to enjoy his own satisfactions by celebrating them man-to-man with other homosensualists.

            The litany of play and pleasure is an endless list of gestures, moments, and things snapped manfully together. The layers of this sense-ible inventory are as meaningful as the men who take their time to savor the signals that come from deep inside a man’s expressive masculine presentation of self.

            “How much pleasure do you want?”

            That’s a question of daring, a question of focussed sybaritic answer.

            “As much as I can stand.”

            For openers, this partial list of kicks and kinks plays to a man in full possession, and fuller expression, of all his senses.
