Lust : Seven Sins For Summer

image

A hedonistic Eden of lust, drugs, discos and super-buff bodies, South Beach, Florida, has the reputation of being the ultimate gay playground. Gay writer Paul Burston takes an upfront, unapologetic look at this thrill-seekers’ paradise. Eavesdropping on the beach where the sexual heat is hotter than the temperature, he bumps into three gorgeous guys discussing their sexual exploits. But there is a darker side to their banter – two are HIV positive. Their “don’t ask, don’t tell” philosophy has profound life and death implications as well as other problems. Men who ditched everything to party away their final years have suddenly got a new lease of life – thanks to new ‘miracle’ AIDS drugs. This can lead to confusion, turmoil, loss of benefit – and dangerous complacency. But what the hell, says Paul, “If there’s lust here, it’s lust for life. The party’s not over yet. Rave on South Beach!”
