11 parts Complete MatureThis is my first, unpublished novel. It was sad sitting in the outer-reaches of desktop space, so I wanted to give it some attention. I hope that someone out there enjoys it and even-dare I say-chuckles a few times. Here's a brief summary:
Boy meets boy. Boy meets boy's boyfriend. Then meets his other boyfriend and thinks: Damn, I can't go out with this guy. I can barely handle my own dick, little less a... Wait, is there a name for a group of dicks? Is it like...a herd of dicks? Or maybe it's a flock of cocks?
...Yeah, I like a flock of cocks better. It just rolls off the tongue.
POLYSOMETHING is the story of Aaron Moore, a 28-year-old self-conscious, OCD, gay man looking to break his hermitic life in New York City.
Pushed to attend a Polyamory Night-at your average hipster bar in Brooklyn-with his roommate and best friend, Alex, Aaron meets Jonathan, a performer with beautiful, curly hair and one of those perfect, well-built bodies that Aaron has seen plenty of times-in the countless hours of porn he watches. Only one catch: Jonathan's a polyamorist, and Aaron could never imagine himself dating a polyamorist. Or anyone at all.
However, after a trip to the Cloisters museum (where he sees practically every happy gay couple in the tristate area), Aaron decides to go out with Jonathan, believing he may be the best way to break out of his very long and very sexless six-year rut. Unfortunately, Jonathan's other boyfriends put Aaron in more awkward and compromising positions than he'd planned for, including: vomiting in front of a crowd of hipsters, getting into a heated argument with Jonathan's "pinched-face cunt" boyfriend, and an acrobatic sex act involving the rim of his bath tub.
POLYSOMETHING isn't just about the crazy exploits of a man's relationship with a polyamorist, though. It's about the courage to get past one's insecurities to find love; dealing with the heartbreak of losing love; and ultimately working on becoming a better person.
