What do the simple folk do
To cheer them when they're feeling blue?
When they're beset and besieged, the folk not noblesse obliged,
How do they manage to shed their weary lot?
In West Hollywood, it was easy to cheer up when you were feeling blue: buy some books, look at art, have lunch at the French Quarter, go cruising at the Gold Coast. But West Hollywood is 2000 miles away, and I'm surrounded by heterosexuals.
What do you do on gloomy Saturdays in November, at the start of the "Ho Ho Ho" madness, when all of the melancholy songs are playing but it's not even your birthday yet, and your 5K running speed is down by 5 minutes, and West Hollywood is 2000 miles away and you're surrounded by heterosexuals?
"How do hetero men spend their Saturdays?" I ask my boyfriend Bob, who is 19 years old and has lived in the Straight World his whole life. He writes me out a list, then leaves for work.
It sounds like a fun game: see how the other half lives. Spend a day as a heterosexual, doing everything that hetero men do.

You mean, like, open the hood and stuff? In gay neighborhoods we walk or take the subway. I know how to put gas in those car things, and steer them, and that's it. But maybe I could get an auto mechanic to do something, like change the oil.
Score! The guy at the Jiffy Lube is in his 30s, short and buffed, with a round face and square workman's hands. And he squirts things with lube all day....
Like, um...cuddly bunnies and such? I've never once in my life held a gun, but I can certainly hunt. How about antiques? I can look for some additions to my beefcake art collection.
Score! "A Surf Boy Tiki Mug" from Orchids of Hawaii, a restaurant supply company operating out of the Bronx during the tiki craze of the 1960s. An evil Dennis the Menace.
Besides, there;s a hot father and college-aged son at the Antique Mall, scoping out some antique model cars. I make eye contact with the son, and get a cruisy smile.
I would prefer to avoid having projectiles hurled at my head. But working out the gym is the same thing, nght?
I would gain ten pounds just walking into that joint. Fortunately, there's a Jersy Mike's next door, which not only has turkey subs, it has some cute college boys for me to exchange witty banter with.
2:00 pm: They shop for tools.Kitchen supplies count as tools, right? I go to Cooks Plus and buy a frittatta pan.
3:00 pm: They drink beer and watch the game.
Diet Coke will have to substitute for the beer, and I can't watch sports on tv -- I only get Netflix. But I happen to have some old bodybuilding contests on DVD. Will the 1985 Mr. Olympia, with Lee Haney, do?'
6:00 pm: Bob comes home and cooks dinner (frittattas).
"How did your day as a heterosexual go?" he asks.
"Great! I worked on cars, hunted things, played sports (if bench pressing counts), had lunch, shopped for tools, and watched a game. There's just one thing on the list I didn't get around to. I thought of it after you left this morning."
I show him the last thing that hetero men do.
"I'm totes up for that! After dinner and some making out, that is. We can't do it until about 9:00 anyway."
After a day of beefcake and cruising, I'm up for more than making out. I go down on Bob while beating off, then push him onto the floor for interfemoral, with him on top.
Then we watch tv until it's time for the last item on the list:
9:00 pm: They go out to try to pick up babes.
Preferably babes with handsome faces, hard smooth chests, and gigantic penises.
