On a rainy day, junior year in high school, track practice was cancelled because the track was flooded and there was lightning. We couldn’t run inside because the admin was setting up for some bid school board meeting or something, and they didn’t want a mess – so, we had the day off. Two of my girlfriends and I decided to spend the day at the mall, walk around, maybe check out some stores and guys and go to the movies to...

If you recall, the last tryst we had ended in a very provocative query from Siobahn, "What kind of porn do you like?" Siobahn knew I used porn to fill in the spaces when we couldn't see each other. She wasn't offended by it because she knew my wife hated sex, and it was an outlet for me. My wife caught me looking at porn a couple of times and read me the riot act. I am careful to use incognito pages to peruse and download...

On a cold Saturday in February, 1975, Michelle Hanley and Judith Weinberg went to see Bonnie and Clyde at a revival house, the Cinema Village on 12th Street. The two were sophomores at the City College of New York. When they came out, they decided to walk a few blocks to a bar.Judy said, “How about the Cedar Tavern? It’s just a couple of blocks from here.”“No, let’s go to Googie’s today. It’s a little more cozy, I think.”...

"What's your favorite scary movie?""I can only choose one?""How many do you have?""Fewer than I thought, Jax. Okay, I am ready.""Well?""Evil Dead.""Such an esoteric boy choice, Quigley.""The judgment!""I'm judgy, and I am honest about it.""What's yours?""Scream.""How meta. Hold on. Jax, are we the only two people left in this café?""From our movie club, yes. There are some other strangers at the seats by the windows.""The...

In May 1975 I gave my girlfriend Michelle Hanley a tour of my hometown of The Bronx. We were both sophomores at the City College of New York and we had a Wednesday for ourselves. We decided to take her car for the trip back and forth and for part of the excursion within the borough; I would drive because I knew my way around and she could be free for sightseeing. I went out by subway to Long Island City on a sunny morning...

We share a love of comics. A true nerd in love with a geek. You remember every detail, while I forget instantly. But oh, how I love to hear you talk about it! Seeing you light up with excitement about this nerdy world makes me so very happy. I would listen to you for days. You know my favorite anti-superhero is Deadpool. And you have read them all. I have tried but prefer to listen to you tell me all the little details I...

I remember it was the start of the Summer vacation season and I had read that one of the few remaining drive in theaters was celebrating their opening anniversary. They were having a back to the fifties night and would be showing double feature horror movies from that era. All the prices were rolled back to what they were in the fifties. I told my girlfriend about it and she was up for the idea as she had never been to a...

My new 18 year old boyfriend Roy really wanted to go to this new movie that was playing at the theater. I couldn't imagine why, as it seemed pretty boring to me from what I'd seen from the commercials advertising it. I like him a lot though, so I figured a couple of hours of my time wasn't much to ask me to sacrifice for making him happy. I knew once we got back home after it was over the real excitement would begin. He w...

It was a boring old Saturday night when my best friend called me up. He asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with him, and I agreed. Our relationship thus far had been strictly platonic, we had been friends since we were in diapers. He had been my first kiss so many years ago, but now we both had a significant other. It was a warm night, and when he opened the door to my house, I felt a light summer's breeze rustling...
