“Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage; If I have freedom in my love, And in my soul am free, Angels alone that soar above enjoy such liberty. But though my wings are  closely bound, my heart’s at liberty;My prison walls cannot control, the flight, the freedom of the soul…”

This work shook me to my core. I highly recommend a look see at the unseen, untold, unheard, and unforgettable. Put to test the idea that prison is merely a babysitting institution. I severely am put at odds with the idea of male rape, something that has come to my attention lately through my dealings with NYSCASA. Not too long ago I did a testimonial of a rape victim, and it thrust me into something most repulsive and meloncholical. It is a shame how society does this to us: men that is. However it is cyclical in upon itself because men scoff and joke at the very notion. “A real man can’t be raped.”  Ive heard many a time. “No guy I know wouldnt mind getting a little extra…” Utterly repulsive and at the same time very sad. How arrogant their minds are. Because you know…guys LOVE sex. Anykind, any time, any place. Because “cummon….we’re guys…”

I happen to be gay. And sex isn’t all that grand a thing. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy it, however society would put me in with the “sissies” and label me “nit a real man” so that by society, Id have to “protected” and get “a real man…”

Insolent..

I dare any guy who has ever been uncomfortable with sexuality in general to read this book, and then ask the question…. What does it take to make a REAL man?
