    A fantastic monologue for a queer man of any age. Totally relatable for many queer guys. Uplifting and charming. Short but not slight, there's so much to engage with here, about relationships, body image and desire. Makes you wonder about male iconography in our culture, historically and currently, in the media, on the internet (porn, wink), in art and how it negatively impacts our perception of male beauty, sexuality and how we date, hookup, and fall in love/lust.

    I *love* this piece! Fantastic for auditions and totally original. It's funny but playable as completely sincere, which is why it works so beautifully. Highly recommend.
