"I can't really recall
the exact circumstances under which this piece was conceived. It's
pretty much a standard multi-cultural gay sex free-for-all set up
to fuel imaging all of the many possibilities that these four
compatriots might indulge in. Teammates? Probably. Usually when I
was called upon to depict an impromptu orgy scene I'd toss in at
least one geriatric character and someone else who "didn't fit"
the standard mold. There is a camaraderie that only occurs amongst
men, it is a bonding and strengthening experience that women can
never understand or imitate. It is the province of men alone and
should be celebrated and honored. In bars, on teams, troops, and
in clubs, wherever men gather without female influence, raw sexual
passion bubbles just beneath the surface. You've felt it. You know
it's power."
