"I read an interesting article in the Gay News," Wade and Yuri's hookup says. "It was about the gay traditions of kanaka maoli, traditional Hawaiian society. "
With three housemates dating and hooking up regularly, you never know who will be sitting at the breakfast table, especially on weekends. This morning there's seven: me, Barney, our dates from last night, Yuri, my ex-boyfriend Wade, and Ricardo, the Cuban-American dance instructor they "shared."
"The aikane, or male bedmate, was a standard part of the culture," Ricardo continues. "Every guy had a wife and an aikane."
"I always thought of Hawaii as a 'good place,'" I say, "Where same-sex desire is open.
"Me, too!" Wade exclaims. "I applied to the University of Hawaii for my undergrad degree, but my parents talked me into staying home in Canada. I should have gone! Hawaiian men are so hot!"
"And I'd love to hear the Hawaiian language spoken.""You could get your chance," Ricardo says. "According to the article, there are 400,000 native Hawaiians on the mainland, most of them right here in Florida."
"That's 200,000 men," Barney calculates, "100,000 adult men, 10,000 adult gay men. Nice odds! You could get an aikane easily, if you plan your strategy right."
