Straight No More

He knows you do it better than his girlfriend. He may not say so, but you can tell by the sounds he makes, the look on his face afterwards, the awkward but grateful thank you. It s a flattery thing, he says. But whatever he tells himself, he enjoyed it! Best of all, it was easy. He didn t have to work for it. It was the perfect arrangement: he wanted to get off, you wanted to get him off with no strings, no drama, and no expectations. But what happens if he gets hooked? Straight No More!



Beginning his career as a television writer, Winston Gieseke penned episodes for shows like "Wildfire" and "Hollywood Off-Ramp" as well as the made-for-cable movie "Romantic Comedy 101," which starred Tom Arnold and Joey Lawrence. While living in Los Angeles, he served as editor in chief of both Men and Freshmen magazines before honing his journalistic skills as managing editor of The Advocate. An award-seeking vocalist whose "rich voice harkens back to vintage Hollywood crooners" (Gay.net), his "saucy yet heartfelt" debut album, On the Edge, which "takes classic material, turns it upside down, and then spits it out with panache" (Frontiers), was released in 2012. He now resides in Berlin, an experience he shamelessly exploits at ExpatsInBerlin.us, and is the editor of the anthologies "Indecent Exposures," "Daddy Knows Best," "Team Players," "Straight No More," and the upcoming "Blowing Off Class."
