Story Description: A young man, Andrew Beauregard James, Jr.,
returns from Vietnam and realizes
he can't return home to his small town in Texas because, while in the
service, he discovers
he's gay. He settles in Los Angeles for anonymity, but soon finds
he
doesn't fit into the late sixties early seventies 'me' generation of
gay men. Running from the horrors he experienced in Nam, he
desperately seeks to find anything which will bring him a modicum of
reason or solice for his life. He is looking for a purpose to
continue living and possibly to find his bliss along the way; perhaps,
someone with which to settle down, love,
and share their lives together. He neither knows how to define
what he wants nor how to go about getting it. He gets caught
up in the L.A. gay leather biker crowd rat race and becomes discouraged
and disillusioned. He almost reaches the end of his road; until,
one night he meets a masculine fine looking mature
gentleman, a broker, who makes matches between alpha-male masters and
men who want to sub for them. The broker introduces him to a
world of consensual slavery he never knew about . There are some
questionable practices by this group of men which frightens Beau
and forces him to ask himself a question all men must answer for
themselves, how much are you willing to pay to find your bliss?
"Remember," the gypsy said, "the quality of the rape depends on what
you pay."
