That having been said, my own first gay encounter was similarly casual in that I had never met my first gay partner before the day we had sex, although it was about a half dozen years earlier than your encounter. I by that time in history would have been absolutely petrified of sleeping with anyone who frequented such a ‘casual sex’ venue for fear of catching the death of me (literally). If my memory serves (and it usually does), by 1983, we were already hearing horror stories of the ‘gay cancer’ (then called GRID, but later renamed to AIDS).
Trippy: Well, you certainly had balls (or were pretty foolish), Trippy.
