Showing results for "The Others" in Coming of Age

Over a period of thirty years, three gay men struggle to define themselves and make their mark on a turbulent and unwelcoming world that is so filled with anger that love has become a luxury. The townsfolk describe him as “prettier than a boy should be.” ELI APPLE is embarrassed by such remarks but soon learns to celebrate all the pleasures his beauty invites. He possesses the voice of an angel and the sound of his tender falsetto echoes throughout the green forests that surround his New England home.

Scamming the local perverts out of their social security checks inside of Reuben "the Prince-of-Porn" Sturman's Paris Adult Theater; learning everything there is to know about wholesale drug dealing from two of the biggest street pharmacists in the city; getting mixed up with gay motorcycle gangs or attempted murders out on Lake Erie; and experiencing every puppy-love whore-crush in between. There really were a lot of Drugs and Other Things to Do in Cleveland during the 1980s!

Jim's a shy country boy who just moved to New York to escape his closeted gay life. When he ventures to a BDSM club with his friend Eric, a new world is opened to him that he never planned to experience. After meeting a mysterious and powerful Dom, Jim considers giving BDSM a try. There's another slave in the Dom's life though, and he doesn't want Jim to be a part of their world.

Tensions mount as Jim recklessly pursues his interest in Master Wicked. A dark past causes concern for the slave already in Wicked's possession. Is the inexperienced boy biting off more than he can chew, and is he treading onto territory where he's secretly not welcome?

Boredom gets the best of Jim, and he finds himself accepting an invitation to visit a Master and slave in their home. An awkward dinner and a show of force quickly leads into an unexpected afternoon as Jim receives his first lesson on BDSM.

Jim moved to a big city with hopes of finally being able to come out of his shell. When his roommate Eric invites him to go to an exclusive BDSM club, Jim feels out of his element. After a less than welcoming introduction to the lifestyle, Jim decides to branch out and let Eric have his fun. Little does he know that there's a wicked adventure waiting just around the corner.
