One Walked into the Spider's Web: A Gay Boy Goes to Vassar

By Russell Hasan

On Christmas morning, when I was 38 years old, I was given a gift. Someone gave me a Christmas present: my first gay LGBTQ sexual experience.
This memoir is my LGBTQ gay pride coming-of-age memoir. The first part of the book explains why it took me such a long time. I had initially tried to come out of the closet in college, at Vassar College, in the early 2000s, but I was hindered by undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder and social anxiety disorder and social awkwardness and shyness, and it went horribly and was traumatic, which led to drug addiction and alcoholism, which led to mental health problems, which delayed me for decades. And then the second part of the book explains the set of events that leads up to that magical Christmas Day. There is also some bonus content at the back of the book. I explain my strange and unique, but perfectly justified, view, that sex is a virtue, not a sin, under a set of conditions where sexual behavior conforms to basic principles of ethics and morality.
This book is a true story, and a must-read for fans of memoirs and readers of LGBTQ nonfiction.
