Scout badge for superlative fag behavior, asking what kind of sex I’d “like.”
Me sometimes wishing there was missionary for fags but
missionaries maybe aren’t so sexy for some.
“You got any kinks?” such a natural question
for them. I think about it. Does internalized homophobia count as a kink?
As a general fetish umbrella? Like here’s the role play: We’re both women—See?
In my darkest mind: Lifting Victorian skirts. Thumb grazing a real man’s butt hole...
Butch at the gas pump looked like a TERF. The pump squeaked between us. Bed springs.
I wanted her to lift my shirt and be mad. Or dumbstruck. Fists pounding. A baby seeking milk.
