Born in 1960, Nayland grew up on the Upper West Side of New York City in a home that embraced the counterculture of the 60s. But even though there were books of historical erotica around the house, sex was still a topic that was not to be discussed. As an adolescent, Nayland began to feel attraction towards men and they began to explore the porn theaters and erotic bookstores in Times Square where they had their first gay sexual experience.
After they attended Bard college in upstate New York, Nayland decided to come out after they moved to Los Angeles in the early 80s. Some early explorations in kink were less than ideal which led eventually led Nayland to instruct other kink enthusiasts about how to navigate consent when it comes to kink play.

Growing up among the many shopping malls in Paramus, New Jersey, Adam was a sensitive kid who had obsessive compulsive disorder and was bullied so much that he had to change schools. Once he came out, Adam’s parents were supportive and he soon discovered that his younger brother was also gay and was Adam’s polar opposite when it comes to the “gay lifestyle”.
A therapist helped him accept his sexuality and also gave him some valuable advice for negotiating bottoming with overly aggressive tops. Even though he’s not sure if he’s interested in a traditional romantic relationships anymore, Adam has developed close friendships and meaningful connections with a variety of queer people over the years which has led him to become something of a New York sex nightlife innovator by organizing queer, all inclusive sex parties.
Adam’s interview was conducted in October of 2019 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
