Our first "album" chronicles a brief period in the life of a rather chemically unbalanced and self-destructive young lad named Taylor.  

Taylor keeps some intense friends/lovers (or rather they keep him usually) and his desire to please them and to be used nearly destroys him on a number of occasions, though he doesn't let on to this fact.  In his eagerness to please, Taylor refuses to detract from his masters' enjoyment by balking at their demands.  Instead, he routinely retreats to "other places" in his mind when his friends or lovers are in control and start getting too rough-- an effective strategy, but also a dangerous one.  Taylor prides himself on never saying "no" but in "Lithium Diary" that finally catches up with him one night while he's lost in "The Temple" during a master's highly ritualized and very brutal session.

In the end Taylor gets right back on the horse as his eavesdropping neighbors can attest, but will he be any wiser for it?  Perhaps he knows exactly what he's doing?
