Ruined!

Can 1950’s Straight Men Turn Gay?

“Ruined!“ is an unusual piece of gay pornographic fiction, where the main character's sexuality is put under strain by some extreme circumstances. It explores the thoughts of the male mind and male sexuality, set in a post-war world where things were so different from what they are today!

“Ruined!” is a satisfying and stimulating read, on both the homoerotic and emotional levels, in a way that is rarely found in gay erotic fiction.

Here we find a straight young man delving into his homoerotic nature and beyond that into his homosexual side. The whole subject of straight men and gay sex is jumbled up in this provocative, erotic novel. Definitions are blurred. The seedy side of post-war London is also dealt with uncompromisingly.

This is a gothic novel in style. Although set in 1950, it contains many elements of a gothic romance and some of the things that happen to the hero of the story are truly horrific!

The summer of 1950, the young virgin, David Morris leaves his fiancé for a trip to Africa on behalf of his legal employers. Inexperienced, he falls prey to the effects of alcohol and the unexpected attentions from the men on-board the ship. In Morocco he is introduced to hard liquor and hashish and soon attracts the attentions of his hosts.

At last David finds romance with a pretty youth and allows his suppressed attraction for men to be fully expressed in deeply romantic scenes.

But things do not go well for Davis Morris as he sinks into degradation and becomes "ruined". These scenes are not for readers who are squeamish about degraded sex.

This novel goes through three phases. Firstly, on-board ship, where a devastatingly handsome sailor befriends him and protects him from the unwanted attentions of the sexually frustrated men. These scenes are profoundly homoerotic.

The second phase, takes place in Tangier, where David is totally unequipped to cope. He finds solace in drugs and alcohol and in the arms of a young homosexual servant. Some of these scenes are brutal.

Thirdly the novel follows David's life as a "ruined" man. David is degraded even further.  How will he fare now that he is a "ruined" man?
