The Man Club. It’s the electric place where gay gents pick up one-night stands, hot male dancers work for big tips, and fresh bachelorettes have their steamy, pre-marital parties. Running The Man Club is a crazy job for middle-aged Gyles Beare. Between hiring and firing dancers, keeping wait staff in line, and paying the bills, Gyles tries to have a love life, but it isn’t easy. Not at all. Enter Car Tate. Car lives with Gyles, and has been a solid tenant for the last few months. Handsome. Charming. A good head on his shoulders. Car sometimes works at the club to help Gyles out. He always has Gyles’s back. Lately, though, Car’s been over-the-top nice to Gyles. The sweet and romantic things Car’s been doing for Gyes are oddly pleasant. What’s going on? Is Car in love with Gyles? Is it time for Gyles to confront his hidden feelings and land the man of his dreams?

The Man Club

The three of us drink shots of bourbon. A strong drink for a strong meeting, I always say. My treat.


Rocco says, “What do you think about Lock and I doing a dance routine for the guys tonight? It’s a young crowd, and maybe we can bring the cash in with an erotic, dick-grinding performance together?”


“Details,” I tell him. “Provide me with details.”


Rocco paints a graphic picture for me. Both chiseled men will be in full dress, preferably suits. They’ll perform to a slow song by James Blunt or Ed Sheeran. They romantically strip each other out of their clothes to the music, down to navy blue thongs. On stage, they will make love through dance, moving, gliding, grinding, and dry-humping to the music.


“It will be a love story of sorts. A duet and play. We’ll perform three or four different scenes throughout the night.”


I like what they have to say. It could be the new big thing at The Man Club: short erotic scenes with meanings and storylines.
