I'm Heath Robbs, the newest addition to the Bunkmate Books line-up. Here's a bit about me, including what to expect from my stories, where the inspiration for them comes from.
How would I describe my stories?
I like to describe my writing as gay filth. And that's not an attempt at self-deprecation; I am totally proud to write filthy stories that bring out the seedy, sleazy side of gay culture and desire.
I like to write about anonymous sex and cruising - situations where two (or more) men cross paths, satisfy each other, then move on without anything more complicated. I also like power dynamics, from dad/son to dom/sub to alpha/beta. I like to explore masculinity, even the sides of masculinity that can be a little toxic. I like to explore ideas around submission and degradation, guys getting used and treated rough. And I like to write about a bunch of kinks like underwear, chastity, and watersports.
What interests me about anonymous sex?
I've always been into cruising and anonymous sex. That was my introduction to gay life because I was in the closet for the first little while after I came to the realisation that I was into guys. Part of that was because I wanted to see if gay sex was really for me before I went down the irreversable path of coming out, and part of it (the bigger part if I'm being honest) was that I was afraid to come out. So anonymous hook-ups at the local sauna and online was how I started out.
It didn't stop when I came out though. I've spent many nights in saunas and other sex-on-site clubs, and done my share of public cruising. I became a total sauna slut, both because it was an easy way to get laid without going through the hard work of dating, and because I really came to like the sordidness of it.
I think I like those kinds of situations because you can really just fulfil your animal instincts without really having to consider social norms. You can go from seeing a guy across a room to being on your knees sucking his dick without even telling each other your names. I like that you and the guys you're with are just meeting each other's needs, with no pretensions about it meaning anything beyond that.
I also like the communal nature of it: places where men congregate to fuck, where sexually explicit things are normal and welcomed. Where you can get on your knees or all fours and take as many cocks as you want in full view of whoever wants to enjoy the show.
So even though I'm settled down now, I still have a real fondness for anonymous and casual sex. It comes easier to me than relationship sex. It's still a mindfuck for me trying to walk the line between wanting to be treated like a piece of meat, and maintaining a respectful and loving relationship. It can be done of course, but it's so much easier with a stranger! And although I don't do it much anymore (or maybe because I don't), living the fantasy through writing about it is something I find fun.
Would I describe myself as kinky in real life?
Definitely. I don't necessarily act on it all that often, but there are a bunch of kinks I really like, which are the same ones I like to write about. Some of the events in my stories are inspired or draw details from stuff I've tried out in real life.
I've messed around with watersports a bit, and I've been on a journey (albeit a slow one) with chastity for several years. I also love being restrained or restraining someone else.
What's behind the name?
Heath Robbs isn't my real name obviously. It's a pen name - one of a few pen names I write under, each with a different genre or niche. I enjoy a good pun so when that name occurred to me it really appealed.
And the profile picture?
It's an illustration by Alonso Mena, who you can find on instagram @alo_illustra or on Patreon. It's based on a real photo of me, but the illustrator took a bit of artistic licence when it comes to the pyhsique, I'm not that muscly in real life! It's more of an aspirational fantasy avatar in that sense.
I also asked him to give me a big moustache which is hot but not how I groom my facial hair in real life; as a gay erotica writer I don't want to be instantly recognisable to everyone I see walking down the street, you know?
What am I working on right now?
I'm writing a couple of stories, so I guess we'll see which one ends up published first.
One's about chastity and cruising. It centres on a guy who's starting out with chastity and is visiting his local gym to work out while locked. It's about the various encounters he has in the changing room, and his transformation from timid, weedy guy to full-time locked pass-around jock.
The other is a dom/sub story, about a submissive guy who doesn't think the office dudebro notices he exists - till he starts to make himself useful and show he can be a good servant.
