>“At the bathhouse, Harley never gave us his real name,” recalls Joe F., who played with Race regularly at a St. Louis establishment called Decadence. “We sort of knew he was a big time pro wrestler, but that never came up in conversation: we just knew him as ‘Friction.’” Race’s nickname owed to his preference, well known around the club, for forgoing lubricant when engaging in anal play: “Spit only,” he’d growl to new men who lined up behind him. No stranger to pain in the wrestling ring, friends say Race liked the rough intensity of the act, even if scrapes, burns, and even bleeding would sometime occur after an extended session. He was a fixture around the club on nights when wrestling was in town, and patrons remember him as a man who didn’t speak much, but was always willing to test his physical limits with the right partner.— from Mark Smith’s new book Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses (2025), p. 83.

>Growing up in a conservative family, Race wasn’t known to have the most progressive values, especially with things like race relations. “Yeah, it’s true, when it comes to your friends, your neighbors, who you went to church with, Harley pretty much believed that people should stick to their own kind,” recalls Bobby K, another popular figure of the St. Louis scene. “But at the club, it was a different story. When you were lined up behind Friction, it didn’t matter what race, creed, color, or nationality you were — as long as you could give him that burn, he didn’t care what you looked like.”- p. 84
>>19873071>>19873117>>19873145>Over time, “Friction” became something of a legend at Decadence. His presence lent the club a strange kind of celebrity allure—though few ever connected the quiet, stocky man in the dim back rooms with the flamboyant figure throwing bodies around in the ring on TV. “He was respectful, intense, and totally committed to whatever was put in him,” recalls another regular, known only as Jim C. “If you went with Friction, you had to be ready—he didn’t mess around, and he didn’t slow down.”>Despite the roughness of his preferences, Race’s partners almost universally describe him as conscientious—a man who understood the line between consensual brutality and actual harm. “He checked in, always,” says Dutch. “He had this way of locking eyes with you mid-act, like, ‘You good?’ It was silent, but you got it. That was his way.”>Off the mats and out of the dark, he was rarely seen. “He came and went like a ghost,” Joe F. says. “I don’t think anyone saw him arrive or leave—he’d just appear. Towel slung low, drink in hand, already scouting.”Page. 84
>>19873229>>19873232hey lil bro you forgot to give your ID to discord and missed a ping.

>hahah its so funny to pretend like this straight guy liked fucking dudes!Actual brain worms
This is why Kevin Nash always spoke so highly of Harley Race, he knew that he paved the way for him and without friction he'd never have made it big in 1992.
