We're better than this


I haven't spent much time logged in to gaymatchmaker.com.au in recent weeks. I created a profile there a couple of years ago in the hope that I might meet some interesting gay guys, but lately the place seems to be overrun with married men, who are basically trying to turn their lives into their own personal porn films. It seems that every second profile is "bisexual" or "bicurious", and on the lookout for a specific piece of hot dirty action.

I'm not at all au fait with the gay scene, but it seems to me that the gay guys who respond to these men are subjecting themselves to a kind of voluntary exploitation. They are making themselves into tools for someone else's self-gratification, not being complete, complex and dare I say proud individuals.

I'm not sure why I was put on this earth, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't to provide a passing, anonymous thrill to some married lowlife.
