In the tradition of The Story of O comes this story of "X," a wise-cracking, postmodern callboy who cheerfully relates all the juicy details of his commissioned sexual encounters in a series of twenty-three confessions that are sometimes shocking, sometimes touching, but always uproarious. Most people confess their sins, but X confesses his weaknesses, those things about himself that point to his humanity and unwelcomed sentimentality.
Since he turned his first trick at fifteen, X hasn't had a romantic urge for anyone. But suddenly everything is changing, and X finds his long-frozen sex drive thawing. The object of his affections is his roommate, Andrew, a great big hunk who is confused about his sexuality. Meanwhile, X's other roommate - a precocious, seventeen-year-old partyboy named Joe - is falling for X in a big way. X soon discovers how messy uncommissioned and unrequited lust can be.

Work Description
X is a wily hustler and has a dilemma. The object of his affections is his roommate Andrew, who is confused about his sexuality. Meanwhile, X's other roommate - a seventeen-year-old precocious partyboy - is falling for X in a big way. The result is an old-fashioned (well, sort of) love triangle peppered with savage one-liners. A touching portrait of love and lust among three very different gay men.
