This exploration takes a critical erotic/a approach to understanding how queer desires change and disrupt over the course of aging. I explore aging gay sexuality as a text of the body that is performed within exchanges. I situate my sex within the contexts of the HIV epidemic, gay liberation and sex work. This is composed of three movements: discovering sex in the early 1990s Bay Area; changing discourses of HIV prevention and treatment; turning fifty in the gay community and its accompanying invisibility. Finally, the use of sex work is brought forth as a tool to manage these transformations
