Matt Birns Saguaro National Forest, Tucson, AZ, Summer '97

Aware of my limits but I don't go at it to lose. I enjoy working up to a mutually agreeable level of fairly rough play and don't mind a little body or pec punching thrown in but am not a brawler; not out to injure or get injured. Have 2 pair 14 oz gloves and will do some lite sparring with a trusted few and can throw 'em on for some on-the-floor wrestling and limited brawling.

I enjoy the "maleness" of wrestling: the fraternal nature of competitive combat, the body contact, the effort, the drive to physically dominate. I like the feel of the solidness, weight and density of a man's body - his strength and mine, released and combined. To feel his body against mine to struggle until we can feel each other's heat, slide in each other's sweat, until muscles are mutually defined in strain.
Wrestling is spiritual; it can also be sexual - though it does not have to be for me to enjoy it. Singlets, shorts, spandex, jeans, jocks or nothing - I don't care. If you don't either, fine. We can work down to a bit more primal wardrobe and be as overt as you can handle.
And if you are not comfortable with an overt sexuality in wrestling, that's fine too. Your preferences will be respected and you won't be uncomfortable in my presence. We stick to singlets, shorts, or whatever, work each other over and out and part with a handshake.
