He promised the book publisher that he would write his entire sexual history. He planned and wrote code words and names for himself that only he could decipher. He wrote about his wife's infidelities. About the affair from the past in the hotel, which she wouldn't let him have and which reappeared in his life. He wrote about falling in love with the director who made a documentary about his mother. About all the signs that showed his wife had a new love. He wrote about all the moments in his life when sex and love mixed, the boundaries blurred. He wrote about himself, his mother, his father, his sister, his wife and his daughters, and all the sexual encounters in his life that were etched in his memory.
