Today, three stories about firefighters.
In 2006 Willy Lafreniere wrote about using his job to get women. With poorly blended scotch still thick in our throats, she asked why I became a firefighter. I didn't skip a beat. "'Cause girls love firefighters."
In 2002 Elissa Wald explained why she wrote a novel, released on 9/11, about the sexual lives of three firefighters. During my years of intimacy with a few different firefighters, it became clear to me that their sexuality informed every aspect of their working relationships: with other firemen, with the work of firefighting, and even with fire itself.
In 2007 Lisa Gabrielle had bad sex with a smokejumper. A friend and I headed to the Sun to penetrate the tough outer corona of women surrounding the smokejumpers' tables. We felt like sperm wiggling towards the egg.
