Editor,
I treasure mutually passionate romance with a man, but I will not for any man on earth surrender or compromise my war tax refusal, my living simply, my having no car, my all-raw vegan food, my urine therapy, my walking and vigorous daily exercise, my freedom to be naked and my strong public stands of conscience.
A man's body is much more than his face and his penis, and a man is much more than his body.
I want a lean, muscular, healthy man who smokes no cigarettes, drinks no alcohol and uses no illegal drugs. I want a man who's not addicted to money or hooked on buying crap no one needs; a man who remains far below the U.S. poverty line and the federal income taxable level to boycott this empire's greed and wars.
I want a man with no shame, no hang-ups and no guilt about sex and romance with men. I want a man with the courage to warmly hug and kiss me in public. Why would I have sex with any man ashamed to be seen with me?
I want a man who lives naked at home and mostly naked elsewhere when it's warm enough. I want a man who gardens, sunbathes and exercises every day. I want a man not chained by what people think and say; a nonviolent man who plays deaf to stupid insults on the street, like "faggot" or "put on some clothes;" a man always committed to the good of all people and our mother earth.

I aim to be the kind of man I want. I aim to live this way myself.
My strong attraction to certain men in no way guarantees their attraction to me. I aim to respect their right to turn me down romantically, with no forcing, begging, pouting or chasing.
