I’m not writing to you to pass moral judgment on our relationship-we’re at peace and very happy. But we never fell out of love with each other, so after graduation we moved in together and have been living very discreetly as a monogamous couple ever since. We attended schools far apart and limited our contact to family holidays. We knew this could ruin our lives, so we made a pact to end it. We hoped it was “just a phase” that we’d grow out of, but we wound up sleeping together until we left for college. Of course we felt guilty and ashamed, and we didn’t dare tell anyone what we were doing. After a couple of years, we realized we had fallen in love. When we were 12 we gradually started experimenting sexually with each other. We were always extremely close and shared a bedroom growing up. My fraternal twin and I (both men) are in our late 30s.

This edition also features rarely seen publicity photos, posters, and advertisements from the original production of the play. Despite its unprecedented success and acclaim, the play was not officially published until 2019.Īlong with the debut publication of the script of the play, this edition includes a foreword by Jordan Schildcrout titled "Tubstrip and The Erotic Theatre of Gay Liberation", which examines the significance of the play as one of a wave of erotic gay plays (most of them forgotten or lost) that emerged between 19. The play, often dismissed by mainstream critics but hailed as "funny, sexy, and important" by the gay press, ran for 140 performances off-Broadway, then toured to eight cities over nine months, and returned to Broadway starring the legendary adult film star Casey Donovan in the lead role. Jerry Douglas's Tubstrip, a risque comedy set in a gay bathhouse, was a popular sensation when produced onstage in 1973-1974, in the era of gay liberation and the sexual revolution. 'The Advocate', with Calvin Culver (Brian) and Jim Cassidy (Bob) (1974).
