Sam was the child of harsh and perfectionistic parents who made him feel that little he did measured up to their standards. He grew into a tall and extremely handsome man but couldn’t shake the feeling that he was ugly. As an adult, though married and ostensibly heterosexual, he would occasionally visit gay bath houses when he felt especially low. He never engaged in sexual activity there, but thrived on the admiration and desire he could see in other men’s eyes.
