Interview with Charles, a '70s Street Hustler

By HOOK, Boston

Charles: I talk to my shrink he thinks I'm not ready:( I'm all mixed up

HOOK: you think being a male prostitute kinda screwed ya up a bit?

C: well at the beginning it made me feel like a piece of shit. Dirty.

HOOK: how old were ya?

C: 16:(

HOOK: were you with your parents at the time?

C: yes and on the streets. went home to sleep sometimes. eat food.

HOOK: did they know you were gay?

C: no. I was VERY bi.

HOOK: so you dated girls too?

C: lots. lots. lots. I'd say I was a sex maniac.

HOOK: why was it so important to you?

C: think it was more that I wanted to feel wanted. of course, it didn't make me feel more wanted, but it worked for me then. u have to remember I was a mess

HOOK: Ok, that said, walk me through the scenario. you were feeling unwanted - why? did your parents or friends not want you?

C: I never had any love from my parents. I wasn't abused but not loved, I think they were sick of kids after 4 already. I had lots of friends, and had sex with 99%

HOOK: was sex significant in those relationships? did you have sex, and then become friends?

C: well I've always had sex with my friends, never really changed friend shit either. I just like to know what people are about just once

HOOK: what do you mean?

C: people say that if you have sex with your friends it wrecks it I can honestly say it never has. like I had sex with m*** and w*** from the Internet, and we are still good friends. well it's always a one shot deal just sexually. once. after that, just friends

HOOK: so, do you see the act of sex as a passage into your life?

C: always has been

HOOK: if you had to describe the sex act itself, how would you do it? what are the differences and similarities between when you started and where you are now?

C: I think of sex as just mutual masturbation. it means nothing but a good orgasm to me. see, [my partner] considers sex the same as me, he doesn't need to have sex to feel love. do u understand that?? I don't even want sex with dates anymore, I think dating is the best without it weird ?? I always demanded having sex on the first date, and then I would be so bored after. I tried the dating thing without sex, and it is awesome. some people think of sex as a relationship thing its just cummin'. sex is sex period. it’s way better with love though. but its still just sex. it wont keep ya together

HOOK: how long did you escort?

C: well. sex escorting I did for 10 years. then, I escorted for posing nude (no sex) right up till last November

HOOK: what was the most irritating thing about hooking?

C: that's easy. the ugly fuck - both guys and girls. Ewwwww. guys are easier though. they cum quicker. LOL (Laughing Out Loud)

HOOK: what was the best part of hooking?

C: Gettin' high. oops, we are talking sex right? LOL

HOOK: how was heroin a big influence on your hooking?

C: well posing was done strictly for easy money. $150.00 an hour. I was a loser no money. man I wouldn't of had sex with 90% of them. but I had too (real lonely life hookin' for sex and dope. when u hook for dope, u do your thing and then U are alone, and look for someone else to hustle.

HOOK: no friends?

C: well its kinda the same for them. everyone needed tricks. we didn't share. all for one etc. basically, on the streets you befriend other hookers for protection. buds would tell U if someone was wacko, and its safer to be with someone hookin

HOOK: I see.

C: I've been tied up, beat to shit, pissed on, left to die, made to swallow cum. u name it thank god it was before AIDS.

HOOK: what memory is the clearest for you?

C: guys cummed in me :( Ok' now its gettin to me:(

HOOK: (hug) is ok my friend :) you don't have to go farther

C: thanx xxoo
