Lucas' irrational hatred of anyone gay has a catalyst, albeit an incorrect one, but hell he is only 17. His Uncle Franklin is an incestuous paedophile, who likely hates "faggots" with the same vengeance as Lucas himself. He undoubtedly views what he is doing as perfectly normal, whereas faggots are evil. He is one sick motherfucker. I only hope Granny catches him raping his nephew and reacts positively i.e. reports him to the police, and does not seek to blame Lucas for "inviting" his Uncle to molest him. As @Lee Wilson remarked Lucas needs help, like yesterday. I am not sure about Uncle Franklin needing help though Lee, unless by help you mean a piece of @drsawzall's much loved 4 x2 before being placed into a second-hand pine box and set alight or placed six feet under. Neil's reaction to overhearing his father reveal he is gay may signify many things. He may merely be shocked, he may be angry his father has withheld this information from him or any number of other things. The worst case scenario is he may blame his father that he too is gay, that he has "inherited" it from his father. Exceptionally well written chapter @Ronyx. I found the closeness expressed between Neil and Brian beautiful and very moving.

Scott compared it to pissing broken glass, which is not far wrong as I have usually compared it to pissing razor blades. The worst one I have ever had I was off work for 2 weeks with extreme night fever (and not the enjoyable Bee Gees kind), barely able to walk and peeing pomegranate juice, all because of an enlarged "love button". I now take 1 cranberry tablet per day which has worked wonders.

Little by little Matthew is breaking the chains that have bound him to his father's dogmatic and belligerent views. He must have felt positively "naughty" at the end attired in such "wicked" clothing attending church by Zoom. LOL. Way to go Matthew.

I may surprise you @Al Norris. I am not a hard-core liberal on all issues.

If my late grandmother were still alive and were to read this story, she would no doubt say "those boys look very tired, they must be spending too much time on the nest". Domenico is like a child with a new toy, and the best thing about this new toy is it does not require any batteries, an instruction manual which is only available by downloading it from the internet or on an app which is only available by downloading it from the App Store, and is freely available. Halle-fucking-lujah. Much of the time a thought, simple or complex, was not even required @drsawzall. The process was fully automated, or at least only required activation by a gust of wind, the sight of a delectable derriere, brushing against a table leg or the fabric of certain clothing, a jockstrap, the "scent of a man", eating a banana or hot dog, waking up. Jake provides the type of training I respond to best, on-the-job training. "Scripting" written so that one is crippled with arthritis from mouse clicking at the speed of sound or blind from reading page after page of text written in too-small font and densely packed on pages so that it resembles a Senate ballot paper, is not conducive to learning as much as the "experts" like to insist it is. His training is interactive too, with his trainee, Domenico, encouraged to thoroughly test his newly acquired knowledge and skills, and when appropriate taste-test any product produced. The training is having the desired effect, with Jake and Domenico sementing a close friendship which may transition to something even deeper.

As someone who has had more than his share of UTI's I can attest to the excruciating pain. I am not one who likes to take antibiotics or synthetic medication, but when it comes to a UTI they are a must. I think it highly likely Scott's passion for sounding may be the source of the infection. I have watched a couple of porn scenes in which sounding was featured (Devin Franco seems to like it), and whilst they were somewhat fascinating to watch, there is absolutely no way I would ever do it to myself or consent to someone doing it to me (a bit like fisting). A UTI is not to be taken lightly, they can be fatal if not treated quickly and decisively. Mrs Henderson (is her given name Florence by chance @Wombat Bill?) thinks Scott's being "fond of" both Joshua and Malcolm is not "normal". Whilst it may be unconventional, it is not abnormal. What is abnormal, is being honest about it. I think Florence will grow to accept it, but will Scott's father, Ambrose, share his spouse's liberal views. A "painful" chapter @Wombat Bill, a reminder of times past.

"Animal is pissed about what happened to him, about his losing his job, but now he's losing the plot." and "You'll be fine. I know stuff, and Animal knows what's at stake if he does anything, so he'll see reason." These two comments from Mike regarding the behaviour of Stinky Shane appear to contradict each other. I think Mike is being overly optimistic in thinking Stinky will refrain from taking any further retaliatory action against Grayson and/or Rafael and/or Mike himself. Unless Mike has hardcore evidence e.g. photographic or video evidence of Stinky involved in murder and/or drug dealing heavy drugs, I think Mike is calling his bluff. Stinky is used to intimidating others and having them cower in fear, in fact, I think it likely the thugs who assaulted Grayson will not snitch on Stinky as he has probably threatened them into doing his dirty work. Grayson's first time topping Rafael ignited passions for both. The night sky lit up, dogs were baying at the moon, male cats were peeing on anything and everything in their quest for female companionship (yeah right, a quick fuck more like it) and koalas were completed stoned on a eucalyptus high. More joy and fun for the boys @Mark Ponyboy Peters, but I don't think Grayson's paranoia is without a basis. I don't believe Stinky has played all his cards yet, particularly if he is "losing the plot".

Scott appears to have dropped the selfish, self-centred, egotistical persona he had in his initial encounters with Joshua, and then with Joshua and Malcolm as a couple. Is this change of attitude genuine? Only time will tell. I am still skeptical, but am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. The fact he gave both a blowjob suggests he has moved some way at least from the arrogant jerk he was. I initially thought when the waiter waved the credit card in front of Scott's bulge that Scott must have prepaid for lunch with sexual favours to the waiter, but then I remembered he was carrying the credit card in his speedo. My brother pays most of his in-person purchases using his Apple watch. Perhaps Scott could become the first person with an Apple cock. He wants a PA ring, so why not an Apple cock?

As is your custom, you are off to a great start with this new story @Robert Hugill. And the afterword gave me a real chuckle. I vaguely recall a few William Higgins directed porn films released in the 1980's about brothers, only one of which, "Brothers Should Do It", I remember the title, although I don't remember ever seeing it. And there was the Rockland brothers who did gay porn in the 1990's. Hal, Vince and Shane. Hal was a real hottie, the others not as much. The only thing I know about Essex is that it was the birthplace of Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke. Together they were superb as Yazoo. I have enjoyed some of Alison's solo recordings and Vince's recordings with Andy Bell as Erasure. I don't often like recordings by other artists of ABBA material, but I loved ABBAesque by Erasure. I immediately thought of Owain during the interview between Graham and the journalist. The "troubled" gay son returning to his birthplace after the death of his father. I initially thought Graham a little selfish for begrudging the recipients of his father's estate for their "windfall", but after Graham's revelation the motive for the estate distribution was to spite he and his brother rather than one of altruism, I changed my tune. Assuming Graham has spoken the truth, Daddy clearly had a large ego which he assumed his sons would massage and flatter, and when they did not, he acted like a petulant child. And "the meeting". A chance encounter between Graham and Matt. But will it lead to friendship or something more? I look forward to the journey @Robert Hugill, another adventure in the Hugillverse.

I had forgotten that he has not done this. Fuck my "warming up" to him, which was really more accurately described as "thawing out" a little. You are right, he is still a selfish so and so (one cannot say prick or arsehole as both of those are useful). He did seem to willingly kiss Calvin once if I recall correctly.

Button, Hutton, Sutton, but please no fucking mutton or .utton. We will be well and truly fucked. But you are correct @Mark Ponyboy Peters, it could be so much worse, we could be "living" in a nation where the testosterone-laden musky odour is rank and society is saturated with malice, scorn and division, unless you are a straight male WASP. It is times like this I seek solace in the wisdom of an intelligent and beautiful species, one which spends its time sleeping, grooming, purring and being served by a less intelligent species, one such summerabbacat aka Jeeves.

“And Jonah, you’re probably wondering why. The answer is that this is something that will be new to you. This isn’t just a party. This is a Carter Lopez party. To clarify? His house is sixty-four thousand square feet—yes, I looked it up on Zillow. The house has two pools, a helicopter pad, a tennis court, a hedge maze, and fourteen bathrooms.” I will admit it, I am a killjoy, but the description of Carter's house pissed me off. People are living in abject poverty in New York, which will only increase under the current regime, and someone has a house like this. I know it's only a story, but people do live like this and think nothing of those who barely survive. Victor and his "girlfriend" seem well matched, both bullies and both cu#*s. I so hope Jonah and Will are able to wipe the smug grins off their faces. Better still, a stock market crash which wipes out their parental fortunes, reducing them to having to shop at Goodwill and apply for free lunches at school. And no designer clothes, plastic surgery or expensive cosmetics for either of them. Hideous people both. Clearly James is still alive and has not forgotten Jonah. Geographically they are quite close to each other too. I remember only too well parties of my misspent teenage years. If I ever needed to throw up and could not do so I would just ask one of my friends, usually equally drunk, to describe a greasy pork chop sliding down my throat. It worked every time. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Now I would not even need to be drunk to throw up to the thought of eating such "food". Great story telling @irivera. You have a real talent for portraying grotesque characters e.g. Victor and his "girlfriend" just for starters, with only a few words uttered. I do remember I was 15 once but I hope I was never as shallow as these entitled teenagers. And my nomination for the best line in the entire story thus far: "I even hear someone say, “Is that the triplet’s cousin?” Damn right, it is. And I’m about to be your new president, bitch!" Magnifique.

What is Scott up to? I do not trust him. He is far too cocky (pun intended). A pierced scrotum is in on his agenda. I wonder if it will set off the airport metal detectors? It is one thing to uncover your chest to reveal your pierced nipples whilst in the airport queue (as a friend of mine has to do), but to reveal a pierced scrotum would be quite a different revelation, much like revealing a PA ring through your cock I should imagine, which if I recall correctly Scott is intending to do too. I was a little disappointed @Wombat Bill that the lifesaver was in yellow and red shorts. Could he not find a yellow and red speedo? Far more appropriate vocational attire than a pair of shorts.

Clearly a case of brilliant minds thinking alike @Al Norris.

Julie Mack to Grayson regarding Mike "Mr Webster did show him the images late yesterday just in case he may be able to help." Mike took a noticeably longer lunch break than usual and, upon returning he look flustered and said to Grayson "Yeah. All good. And just so you know, you won't have anything to worry about now." Methinks Mike identified those in the CCV TV footage who attacked Grayson as friends or acquaintances of Stinky Shane and, he visited the local police station to formally identify them and sign a statement. If this is the case, I imagine it will put a target on his head also for further possible retaliation from Stinky. I don't think he will stop at just intimidation and a little "roughing up" those he will blame for his retrenchment. As commented by many, Oliver is a delightful little brother, inquisitive and seemingly intelligent beyond his years, but still with a sense of naïveté and wonder. And the promise of a future story about Oliver. What a thrilling prospect @Mark Ponyboy Peters. Now for my bitch and gripe. This story has its share of yobbos, hoons and boofheads, all of whom do far more damage to the environment than kangaroos, dingoes and brumbies combined. And yet who do various state governments cull? Speciesism at its ugliest again, which will only get worse if my fears for who will be elected at our next Federal election become reality.

I cannot believe I am saying this, and not just because I am trying to be a nicer person than usual, but I have "warmed" to Alan somewhat in recent chapters @drsawzall. He has been less toxic with his masculinity. He seems to have dropped the oft said, but I am not gay, and although he shows no sign of bottoming (and that's okay), he has shown some genuine affection for Calvin as a male person, and not just treated him as a convenient cumdump. Having said this, I think, purely on face value at present, Jordan may be equally suitable at least for Calvin, assuming he is gay of course. Keep it cumming @KKirk. The story continues to entertain and challenge our thinking.

Why thank you @drsawzall. I am rarely known for being succinct, usually verbose is closer to the truth.

I had the exact same thought @Cane23. It was symbolic, freeing him from enslavement.

Some very interesting developments in this chapter, the biggest being Granddad's encouragement to Matthew to defy his father and undertake paid work in the impending summer holidays. I anticipate Matthew will need every ounce of his courage to defy his father, and will likely need his Granddad's help too. I just hope Solomon does not have any firearm(s) in the house which he might use to prevent Matthew from leaving. If there is any great fight between Matthew and Solomon, mute Mary may finally find her voice and defy her husband too. Mmmm, probably not going to happen. One miracle will be extraordinary enough.

I forgot to mention @Robert Hugill that once again the chapter title and first sentence gave me another instantaneous "Cliff Richard" moment. My now deceased grandmother liked him and I can remember she had some vinyl 45's of his, including 'Summer Holiday'. She would sometimes play them when we visited. I seem to recall seeing the movie of the same name as a pre-teen too. My grandmother lived in rural NSW as did I and I vaguely recall seeing any number of Cliff Richard, Elvis Presley and Ma & Pa Kettle movies at my grandmother's place as a pre-teen. I doubt I would remember any of them now if I was to watch them again as I don't think any of them were particularly memorable. One of Cliff's biggest hits ever, one which I am very fond of, is most fitting for Jackie. Devil Woman.

I found the chapter title very intriguing @empath. Does it represent the fact Roger celebrated his 40th birthday, an age many men (and women) fear, as traditionally at 40 one is now considered "over the hill"? Or does it represent a juncture, a juncture where some boys have been rescued, some it has been determined are dead, significant inroads have been made in identifying many of the scum associated with the various groups involved in the boyflesh racket, and Liberty Academy has been given life and it is full steam ahead. Are all those involved in trying to bring this heinous trade to an end sensing they are "over the hill" and they can see a light at the end of the tunnel, and are feeling more positive because of this. Much to ponder, like the good doctor, @drsawzall, indicated. The previous chapter title was Acceptance, which given its content, was very fitting. Following on from that chapter I felt this one could have been alternatively titled Affirmation. Of all those involved in the Liberty Academy, I felt Roger was the one giving himself the least credit, and this is not to say anyone has been patting themselves on their back or resting on their laurels. I have sensed many others though have found their role to date very life affirming whereas Roger still seemed lost. Although playing Eddie's tape was difficult, I felt it released a lot of the pain and self-loathing and self-questioning Roger has kept the lid on for far too long. He finally recognised without a shadow of a doubt he is worthy of love and admiration; his importance to many affirmed with their presence to honour his birthday. Superlatives invariably lose their power when they are repeated time and time again, often rendering the praise trite. I don't think that is happening with the continued praise by your readers of this story @empath. You have continued to engage your readers with your superb story telling, intricately woven plots and fascinating and sometimes paradoxical characters. Dominic De Luca is a classic example of the latter, a man whose life has been devoted to criminal activity, no doubt having been responsible for the death of many, and yet I cannot help but admire him. His selfless devotion to his great grandsons, his about face on the issue of gay men and his resolve to ensure the scum associated with the various groups are identified, all hallmarks of a decent and caring man. Of all the characters in this story, he is the biggest surprise, his behaviour now certainly against type, but believably so.

I have the ultimate in screen protection @Tonyr, two "lionesses", one of whom at least is always lying on the dining table whilst I am on my home laptop. It would be foolhardy of me to "enjoy" a story to such an extent whilst on the laptop as I value the family jewels and guard them. I have had one instance in the past where I fell asleep on the lounge and my now deceased male cat jumped off the arm of the lounge into my lap whilst I was wearing rather flimsy boxers. Suffice to say, the skin is thin and bleeds easily in one's nether regions.

Lusty Ludo and amorous Arthur have connected with gargantuan Graham aka Biggus Dickus and all had a smile on their face (and I daresay other parts of their respective anatomies too). Kudos to Ludo for not forcing Damian to continue to visit Jackie in her new home. Damian should not have to suffer at all for Jackie's selfishness. She made her bed now she has to lie in it. I look forward to her sentencing and hope she still receives at least 8 year in prison by which time Damian will be 18. "Hansi smiled, rather like a buxom enchantress", another of your delightful Hugillistic expressions @Robert Hugill, reinforcing my image of her as resembling Marianne Sägebrecht. She is a shrewd businesswoman and has now taken action to rid herself of her stupid husband, Andreas, and divorced him. Fortunately there were no children involved so I assume it would make the divorce flow seamlessly, particularly given he is a convicted criminal. Hopefully there are a few more chapters left yet @Robert Hugill, particularly given Ralph and Nolan have ceased to be "newsworthy" (at least for now).

The viewing of the cheetah cubs would have been the highlight for me if I was visiting the game reserve. Andrew's speech of thanks was spectacular, genuine and filled with emotion without being maudlin. Once again his sincerity, humility and generosity shone through. No wonder he is a beloved employer, husband, father and friend. And Claude, what can one say. He remembered the song choices from the wedding and ensured they were played again. "Their main course consisted of a Cauliflower 'Steak' marinated in and basted with aromatic Indian spices then grilled, Auberine sliced thickly length-ways, drizzled with garlic and olive oil, and grilled to perfection, and a large Brown Mushroom grilled, topped with peas, corn and small cubes of tofu." Apart from the peas, which I could easily discard, what a wonderful combination of ingredients and flavours. Absolutely sensational @Andre Delport. Joy was the theme of this chapter, from observation of the newly born cheetah cubs, to the celebration of Andrew and Ryan's 10th wedding anniversary. The only thing missing was Nicky and Beth, but they live on in the children.

I too suspected the candle was likely to be a multi-purpose gift, but what it was used for other than providing a pleasant aroma did not even cross my mind. I thought it was going to be used as a dildo substitute instead of a zucchini, carrot or screwdriver. Its ultimate use was one which Joshua found very stimulating, adding another kinky practice to his growing repertoire. I was pleased Scott seems to be out of favour not only with Joshua and Malcolm, but now with Melanie too. He may find he becomes "invisible" if he does not play "nice" and stop using people.
