To the radical activists who keep me going, and to my chosen family, especially Andee, Chrissie, Gabby, Jon, Lauren, Rebecca, Robin, Rue, zee.

To whores everywhere.

My first published story, How I Got These Shorts, starts like this:

Its my fifth trick. He calls around eleven, says do you go to Concord. I say a hundred an hour, two-fifty for the night, wash up, catch the last train, and of course he isnt there. So Im standing there waiting, thinking hes not going to show up and there isnt another train til morning and what the fuck am I going to do. Finally, this man comes up in Speedos and a windbreaker, says are you Tyler like theres anyone else around with pink hair. Then were driving along, hes pushing my head to his crotch saying suck my cock suck my cock and Im sucking his limp dick, hes doing Rush every few minutes and squeezing my balls and were driving in the pitch darkI dont know where the fuck we are. Tells me hes been up all weekend on crystal, met these two straightboys and dont I want to fuck those straightboys. I say yeah, I really want to fuck those straightboys. Says he gave the straightboys his Mercedes and theyre going to show up at his house, Im thinking hell yeah the straightboys are going to show up with your Mercedes.

And the story ends like this:

Im spacing out in the mirror and the straightboy comes in, looks both ways, locks the door and says shh . Takes out his cock and pretends hes gonna piss, starts jerking off. So I help him. He comes twice, says keep this between us okay. I say dont worry honey, go into the bedroom and the trick says did you make any progress with the straightboys. I say I just jerked one off. The other whore is trying on all this underwear, its like everything from the International Male catalog and more. Hes trying on this leopard print metallic thong, swinging his hips in front of the mirror, saying things like shhhwank. And thats when I put on these shorts.

How I Got My Shorts was originally published in Queer View Mirror, edited by James C. Johnstone and Karen X. Tulchinsky (Milford, CT: Arsenal Pulp Press, 1995), pp. 257258. The story was reprinted in Flesh and the Word No. 4, edited by Michael Lowenthal (New York: Penguin, 1997), pp. 156163.

In between the beginning and the end of the story, I do ecstasy at the tricks house; make cocktails for a straightboy and suck his dick (but then he turns out to be another whore); do more drugs; and hide from the trick. The funniest part actually happens after the storys end, after I get the shorts, but before I wear the shorts to perform How I Got These Shorts. Seven a.m. comes around and the trick says he has to go see his patients (hes a psychiatrist), and then somehow I end up with a check for a hundred dollars. Now, dont ask me how I end up withfirst of alla check andsecond of allonly a hundred dollars.

All this goes to prove that every trick is just desperate to become a story. Sometimes the story is the arrangement of toiletries in the bathroom, and sometimes its the trick running into the hallway in his underwear, but, trust me, theres a story going on every time. Originally, I would tell friends about my tricks, but I didnt see these tales as fit for writing. Thankfully, my friends thought otherwise, and Im especially grateful to Andy Slaght, who consistently reminds me that it was he who told me I needed to write down the story about my fifth trick. In fact, How I Got These Shorts was the first piece I ever wrote directly about my life. I wrote the story just like I told it to my friends and to my journal, a casual conversation piece.
