and his gang of performers that include Gary Musiq, Daniel Eldridge, Tetris
Kelly and Fran, Klaridi, along which his fellow composer Sean Sekino, produced
some of the most delightful gay fables of musicland in the second decade of the
21st-century, including I’m Not Gay, Jellyfish, and Sensual
Masturbation, among others.

This
5-minute music video has a great deal on hand, as both Jesse and Gary make
dates with their hands for a predictably sexy night, Jesse evidently preferring
a bit of S&M action while Gray just determines to lounge in the bathtub and
bubbles of his best buddy. The major difficulty that these two roommates seem
to encounter is who gets the bathroom for the night. Jesse gives it up to Gary,
and both have great fun with their respective visitors, the hand that makes for
the sexual partner anyone can imagine.
As the lyrics put it:
“So I'm going to
do this right
you know at the
end of the day I'll
always come back
cuz nobody does me
better than me
yeah I'm going do it nice and slow
….right
relationships like this take time
to build and I'm
here to make sure every
need is fulfilled
I've got with cream….”

Too bad parts of their bathroom encounters,
and, particularly, the full dance number with their backup singers had to be
cut, but as suggest, director Ryan Turner had to cut the action down to focus
on Jesse and Gray’s sensuous visitors, who are evidently on hand most nights for
their sexual delights.
Once
more, J. Pee takes up topics which few singers before him have wanted to
approach, giving them the satirical and sexual edge that they deserve.
