Flip and Michael begin a new life in New York
T his is an original, fictional story. None of the persons or places is realâeven if their names seem familiar. Everyone engaged in sexual activity is over 18. Š 2024. Brunosden All rights reserved.
[Author's Note: This is Part 2, a continuation of the series entitled "Flip Mecum," published on Literotica. As I post this, I 've just completed Part 2 and will edit and post over the next week or so. The first few paragraphs of this chapter are a review of the first six chapters. Skip them if you're familiar with the story.
I finished the last part of Chapter 06 with this:]
"There is obviously more to this story. Two complex guys with very different paths and soon to have two very different jobs in New York were going to try to make love work. They thought they had it. And they were committed to building on what they had. But, they are young and their experience is almost entirely in the sex business where their looks got them by. Michael is definitely going to find that he must continue to sell his body to make it in the industry. Maybe not with escorting or making porn, but selling nevertheless. They both have tremendous driveâand libidos. And they are extraordinarily handsome. So there will be many temptations and much potential for disruption. It wasn't going to be an easy road."
This next set of chapters examines the "adjustment period.
Flip Mecum is South Texan, a magnificent young gay, with a lightly-muscled, swarthy, but hairless, body, bleached blond shaggy hair, dark eyes and a seven-and-a-half hooded dick. A year of vigilant gym-work has produced the luscious body of a gay club dancer-porn star. He has all the look of a dark predator, a predator that many would like to see in their bed. He has just passed qualification exams and is now a Master Electrician. As this chapter starts it's a few months after his twentieth birthday.
Michael Archangel has about the same build as Flip, but a longer, thinner dick, and he is totally opposite in coloringâalmost albino, with curly blonde hair and piercing dark blue eyes. He actually looks a little like an angel whose wings have been clipped. Michael too has been doing porn flics. He's a few years older (24) and has a college degree in acting. He entered the porn filming industry in LA. Then he was "sold" to a Houston club owner (really a gay male pimp with a bar/dancehall front) and porn film maker.
The guys had met at the club where Flip was dancing, but clicked a few weeks later when Flip made his first porn flic.
Both are outstandingly handsome, real head-turners. Both were lured into the sex business in different ways. Obviously the looks and the body made it possible. So did near despair and destitution. On Michael's part, drugs also had role. They've been gay club dancers, porn film stars and escorts, but have escaped to New York where both are trying to start again, outside the porn industry if possibleâwhile preserving the young romance that they started in Houston. They are free of parental disapproval and "pimp ownership", but still lead a fragile, on the edge existence. Their mutual commitment is real, but it hasn't been tested in the cauldron of real life. And neither one has much experience with the requirements of fidelity and relationship.

Flip....
The first few days of my time in New York were spent in bed with Michaelâexcept for the six or so hours each day when Michael was devoted to the Off-Off Broadway drama in which he had a what he describes as a "small part." I was in carnal paradise, living with the boy of my dreams and hopelessly in love. During those absent times (which were obviously mostly from late afternoon to late at night), I was in the real world, on the internet, finishing up research on the Brotherhood of Theater Electricians (BTE)âthe techniques and requirements for joining, the costs, the exams and the prospects for admission.
I learned that COVID had decimated BTE in New York. When Broadway shut, the members had spread to the ends of the earthâwhere their electrical talents were in demand even with the pandemic. They hadn't returned. Thus, there was no waiting list, and a few slots were available. Broadway was re-opening, slowly but surely. I got the application, completed it and filled out the forms and paid the fees to have my Texas credentials forwarded. There would be no test and only one perfunctory interview. I hoped that I'd be working soon.
I couldn't believe the phenomenal hourly wagesâbut then I realized that, working on the books, there were mandatory contributions and withholdings for union dues, FICA, medical insurance, accident insurance, retirement savings, New York City, State and Federal tax withholdingâall in all about one-third of my wagesâeven more than they had taken in Texas. But I was assured that overtime was routine when a play was running and the net weekly take-home could easily double with a few hours of overtime. And I learned that I wouldn't need to take any theatre lighting design coursesâunless I had visions of management or design.
