Gay San Francisco: 1903

NEW ORLEANS - I made the acquaintance of an elderly man who was witty,
charming, and absolutely fascinatingly frank about his early sex life
during the throes of Victorian America. I'm submitting here my
remembrances of the things he told me: I was 12 when I came to San
Francisco, having run away from my home in a small town in Oregon. It
was about 1903. I did odd jobs but my primary means of making a living
was under the guise of shining men's shoes. In actual fact I sucked
their cocks for pay' which, I suppose, made me one of the
turn-of-the-century boy prostitutes. There were even boy houses in
those days, though their existence was a carefully-guarded secret,
known only to men and boys and even so, only to those "in the know."
I'm sure that upper-class men and boys assumed that much of what they
beard was merely fanciful rumor. Many of the regular whorehouses had
boys "on call." I first got into prostitution when I became
acquainted with other runaways and boys of the streets. They were
tough kids. They had to be or else they wouldn't have survived. In
those days the streets were dimly lit by gaslight. The approach was
almost always made by the customer. A guy would ask a passing boy for
a shoeshine. 1f he wanted more than just a shine, we would go into an
alley and he would take his cock out of his pants. Kneeling down,
pretending to shine his shoes, we could suck quite easily and if
anyone approached, we stopped sucking and started shining. It was easy
to bear someone coming: most of the sidewalks were of wooden planking.
At first I would spit nut the load but later I learned to like the
taste and would swallow it. I only spit it out if the guy didn't
appeal to me. Lots of seamen would pay 25<I for a blow job. Some of
the biggest loads I ever got were from those seamen. Most of the meat
was uncut in those days. Virtually all of the cut meat I had was from
Jewish traveling men. A boy named Manny approached me one evening for
a four-way. A rich saloon owner liked to have three boys at a time. I
went with him and we all stripped. The guy was in his early 50s. He
liked to have one boy suck him while the other two stood by and he
could feel them up, running his hands all over their bodies, and
playing with their cocks. He would stop the boy sucking him and have
one of the others take over. Eventually, all three boys would suck his
cock. He would time us by counting, each boy making ten slides up and
down his cock, then another boy. We went on like this, I<) strokes
apiece at a time. Whichever boy was lucky enough to get his load got
520 in addition to the fee he paid each of us. He was married and had
three daughters who considered themselves "up in the world." I knew
some boys who signed on as cabin boys after the captain had become
taken with them. The kid was, for all intents and purposes, just a
piece of ass for the captain at sea. Most of the boys who signed on as
cabin boys loved being fucked. Sometimes the first mate would get to
fuck the boy too, but the crew usually let the boy alone, fearing the
captain's anger. I was a shoeshine boy until I was 16. You were
considered a man at that age. Also, I was too old for the trade; the
men really liked the younger boys better. But I never gave up
cocksucking and I got a lot of cock. When I was in my 20s and 30s I
would have liked to visit a shoeshine boy myself, but times had
changed and there just weren't any anymore.
