It was kinda boring this dude is just ashamed of all his sexual experiences. While at the time it was written it might have been controversial and revolutionary I think we get the message of free love from a lot places now it’s kinda over done. Nothing against James Baldwin I really liked Sonny’s Blues but this didn’t really hit as well.
