Pimp, there's no need for admin action here, not when the other posters are doing such an excellent job of destroying the OP's misguided premise.

The OP is actually correct in general.

quote:
The paper includes four separate experiments, conducted in the United States and Germany, with each study involving an average of 160 college students. The findings provide new empirical evidence to support the psychoanalytic theory that the fear, anxiety, and aversion that some seemingly heterosexual people hold toward gays and lesbians can grow out of their own repressed same-sex desires, Ryan says. The results also support the more modern self-determination theory, developed by Ryan and Edward Deci at the University of Rochester, which links controlling parenting to poorer self-acceptance and difficulty valuing oneself unconditionally.

I knew a guy who, when he was closeted, would beat the crap out of the guy who gave him oral after it all over and guilt set in. Also know a guy who left the seminary and one night took a marine home. The marine, after the deed, beat him almost near death.

Of course no one could tell from reading his posts what his problem was. Vol was joking when he posted that it's guys who can't get it anymore. I've seen that as well. The gay community in many ways is like high school. It's small even in big cities, very cliquish. L.A. is the worst in terms of pretentious people, gay and straight. It's like a characature of itself. When I lived there I used to say, within 5 minutes of meeting someone, you will be asked what kind of car you drive and what you do for a living. And if it's in a gay bar and the conversation is extended (meaning you have the right car and job, you'll be asked your preferred sexual position and the size of your member before the lights come up at 2 am.

A lot of gays get bitter. If you're older and fat and walk into a place like the Abbey in L.A., you might as well be invisible.

As we get older, we all have to accept that we're not what we used to be. We also mature and realize looks and body ain't all that. But there are some who, to feel better about themselves, condemn it all as a drug-filled, meaningless, pretentious and yes sinful world. It's kind of like that old joke "People who say money is not everything are just poor people who say it so they can sleep at night.

But I knew Charlie back at LSU though not well. My roommate was in the band and all those gay band geeks ran together. I have no idea why he'd throw around the term "bug chaser" as soon as he got into it with toddy and never once came to the defense of any gay person in any thread ever started on this site.

So whatever. If there's an afterlife, he's seen the light as we will all.. without the mental and emotional limitations that restrict us in life.
