There was a side-bar called <strong>QT</strong> connected to Hotbod's. I think "QT" stood for "quiet" lounge, but I'm not sure. It had a glass cage around it so you could watch the dance floor but could hold a conversation. Talking was difficult out in the main area, you'd have to speak really close to the other person's ear. QTs hours were odd, could never figure out when it was open. During one of my first few visits to Hotbod's, one of the DJ's took me into the lounge for a drink. I guess it wasn't open yet since we were the only people in there. <strong>He started putting the moves on me</strong>, the first time anyone had EVER touched me and I didn't know what to do! <strong> I TOTALLY FREAKED! </strong> I'd never kissed a man, let alone had sex with one. This was totally unexpected. Maybe he should have waited until I had at least finished my first drink! Man... I flew out of there as fast as I could.

What makes you think I didn't fight AIDS? I fought to avoid getting it, that counts, right? I didn't bury my partner, but I've lost many friends. If you're assuming I'm some young twink, thank you, but think again. I'm your age. I think you're missing my point, I just want to see some hot guys. After living in San Francisco and seeing their leather community, returning to Phoenix was somewhat of a disappointment. If that makes me a jerk, then so be it. Dear Mr. Padlock,
