To the Protein Monster family: As many of you know, I am the creator of the website Protein Monster. I made it, by myself, with no help from anyone else. But it is with great pride and regret that I must announce I will no longer be updating Protein Monster, because by the time you read this, I will be dead---from AIDS. As many commentators have noted over the years, Protein Monster is a queer-coded website. It is a website for gay people only. And I have given my life to it. But more importantly, I have given my life to being gay. Every night I would go out to grimy sex clubs and get my ass fucked by jacked guys with huge cocks. We'd use motor oil for lube and we'd fuck barefoot on the pavement in the parking lot. I've gotten fucked underneath fire escapes, being pressed up against dumpsters, and lying on the beds of pickup trucks. Well, all this hot, sweaty gay sex has caught up to me: I have contracted the deadly AIDS virus, and will soon be passing from this life. Remember always that Protein Monster is a gay website, and that if you have ever visited it, you are also gay. You're gay, and you love having sex with men. With love in my heart for the entire Protein Monster family, Mark M.
