It's every gay man's fantasy - to travel the globe in search of some fun. One lucky travel writer has done just that, and here he chronicles his diverse encounters while on the road - from a man in wet Speedos on a Puerto Rican beach to a uniformed Russian train conductor, from a lonely boy in a Senegalese village to an exposed and smiling Aboriginal in an Australian frontier town. What he finds are the raw universal physical needs of men beyond the bounds of race or identity, and the fleeting and intangible nature of love itself.
