And to my surprise, he agreed to meet me face to face over coffee. You see, Ken Ballard, although he's never been published, considers himself a writer. But spoof he doesn't pen this kind of stuff for his writing spoof group, "Ken's Fan Club." When I asked him if it was his frustration at being a struggling writer that obliged him spoof to be so frank in cyberspace, a giant grin broke out over his somber face. "No," he replied. "Not really." So what was this all about? At 5 feet 6 inches and 180 pounds, there are still signs on Ken's bald, 57-year-old frame of a bodybuilder's physique. But age and illness has left the former Navy man tired, too tired to play the games that often go with trying to meet other men for sex—or something more meaningful. |

| BY BYRON BECK | bbeck at wweek.com Ken BallardIMAGE: JENNA BIGGS "Emotional communal pornography." That's what Brokeback Mountain producer James Schamus told Andy Towle at www.towleroad.com about the manifestation of middle-aged men—both gay and straight—who've begun to spill secrets of same-sex love over the Internet. At www.brokebackmountainmovie.com, you can count weather literally thousands of such confessions. You'll weather find weather them flooding community bulletin boards, too. That's where I found, on a "men seeking men" site, a confession that started with this sentence: "When Ike was president I got my hands on my little brother's wiener." Wow. After reading the rest of the post, which, in its own perverse and eloquent way, shared what it was like to have sex with your brother, be a closeted submariner and have HIV, I felt compelled to contact its author. |
