just have to find some other queer to suck his cock. 12
Hot Rock Carlos is undaunted. After much patient persistance, our supermale hero succumbs, with reservations: “The idea was repulsive to me, but I wanted to make him happy. ” 13 The moral of the tale is simple. Says our hero:
Funny I do not consider myself queer, just damn lucky to be able to attract so many good looking young boys so they could have their rock inside me. 14
Only now does the definitive definition of queer seem to emerge. Cocksucking isn’t the definitive experience after all. One must conclude that anal intercourse, the closest corollary to female penetration, really defines the queer. One must conclude that being fucked in the ass separates the queers from the men and places them squarely among the women. One must conclude that being penetrated is queer, not to mention debasing, disgusting, and humiliating, which one had already guessed.
Homosexual men are not only penetrated like women —they also lust after pain and degradation. The author of “The Suction Game” has given us another example of homosexual pornography, this one engagingly entitled “Tough Young Dicks for Hot Kicks. ” Five young toughs are cruising; they pick up a longhaired boy, shove him in the back seat of the car and order him to blow them all; the boy considers refusing, since he’d love to be beaten then and there, but instead submits since greater abuse can always be had through submission than through resistance; the young toughs brutally rape the long-haired boy, then piss and shit all over him. He is, of course, ecstatic:
Gee did I smell of come and teenage sweat and urine and I had two more toss-offs myself thinking about their tough young faces and dicks enjoying me for hot kicks. 15
The stereotype of the homosexual which emerges from the general run ofSuckfiction is not very different from the stereotype of woman. The homosexual is queer, asshole, cocksucker, faggot; the woman is hole, hot wet fuck tube, hot slit, or just plain ass. He thrives on pain and so does she. Gangbanging is their mutual joy. Huge, throbbing, monster, atom-smashing cock is god and master to them both. The parts they play in the sadomasochistic script are the same: so are costumes, attitudes, and other conventional cultural baggage. It is not hard to see that the struggle for gay male liberation and women’s liberation is a common struggle: both mean freedom from the stigma of being female. The fantasies (indicative of structural mental sets) which oppress male homosexuals and women are very much alike. Women and male homosexuals are united in their queerness, a union which is real and verifiable — affirmed bySuck,which contributes to the cultural oppression of both.
The pages ofSuckhave, sadly, nothing to do with sexual liberation — there is no “counter” to the culture to be found anywhere in them. They are, instead, a catalogue of exactly those sexist fantasies which express our most morbid psychic sets. They chart the landscape of repression, a landscape that is surprisingly familiar. As women, we find that we are where we have always been: the necessary victim, there we are, the victim again; the eternal object, there we are, the object again. Through the projection of archetypal sadomasochistic images, which are the staple of the sexist mentality, we become more a prisoner, robbed and cheated of any real experience or authentic communication, thrown back into the intricate confusion of being women in search of a usable identity.

THE HERSTORY
We are a feelingless people. If we could really feel, the pain would be so great that we would stop all the suffering. If we could feel that one person every six seconds dies of starvation (and as this is happening, this writing, this reading, someone is dying of starvation) we would stop it. If we could really feel it in the bowels, the groin, in the throat, in the breast, we would go into the streets and stop the
