Alpha Male

[y063banana71]

Hey guys,

I'll begin by saying I didn't write this and that it isn't strictly about muscle growth (though contains a lot of muscle... gymnast muscle). I will say though that it is a fantastic read not just for the sex scenes that ensue, but for the character development, the style of writing and the overall story arc.

The first chapter is a little disjointed from the rest of the chapters. Give the rest a go - I was ensnared.

Yes, it is a well-crafted story. No muscle growth, but plenty of gymnast muscle, and very skillfully developed characters. I am very interested in knowing whether the author has written other gay erotic stories. Anyone know?

I read it expecting a muscle story. It's not a muscle story. It's a fucking brilliant piece of work.

Most erotic stories with that length tend to be repetitive and/or disconnected. But not this one, this story's got an ongoing plot, great characters, and depth you'll see nowhere else. I haven't finished reading it yet, but this stuff is seriously good!

I just finished "Alpha Male" -- all 39 chapters of it! It must be close to 200 pages of first person, insightful writing.

Think of John Knowles' "A Separate Peace". It and "Alpha Male" are about journeys of self-discovery by the introspective, intellectual narrator who finds himself in a kingdom of beautiful, compelling athletes.

This story is about the mind and the body. There are muscle descriptions and lot of descriptions of gay sex. After a while it all becomes somewhat meditative - the intertwining of the muscular bodies is a metaphor for the work of self-discovery by the young characters.

Interesting experience to read.
