Outside These Lines

Outside These Lines is a collection of three stories, in which a different color represents a side of male sexuality. Writer Brad Beau Cohen uses his skillful storytelling to create a sensorial ride. White is a short story exploring a gay man's appreciation for cum. A substance that is so powerful as to have caused wars, yet is so rarely acknowledged as such. In Purple, a sensual reflection upon sexuality and the use of pain for pleasure and dominance. The bruises resulting from rough sex are studied in their meaning and beauty. Finally, Blue sets the scenario for a furtive Grindr encounter between two neighbors who long for each other in silence for quite a while. When it finally happens, a surprise element is introduced to the scene; the fading blue light of a computer screen streaming the whole sex act across the Internet.
