What do speedo lovers fear the most (aged)

[CalifFitnessSwimmer]

I watched "Chris and Don" for the first time on NetFlix. I loved it and want to watch it again but I'm amazed how many comments were posted about Isherwood's age difference when he took up with Don Baccardy. ( 48 vs 18 ).

Sure it raised eyebrows and maybe Baccardy was kind of naive but I've seen pretty awful, abusive and mean exploitive relationships, both gay and straight
with drugs, alcohol, beatings and all around viciousness both within relationships and from people around them.

In face, after I moved to California from New York I read a lot of Isherwood just to get New York out of my system. New York was kind of like a combination of "Boys in the Band" and "The Women." I've seen so many gay guys try to tear down and destroy other relationships that the "Chris and Don" story struck me as kind of tame!

Yes, man's inhumanity to man takes some beating (I mean that both ways) sometimes.

Btw I knew there was something missing from David Hockney and just found it.

Joss Bailey doesn't seem to work for Pool With Two Figures so here is a better link:
