I was lured into the straight lifestyle by liberal Hollywood propaganda

I've never shared this in public before, but I first started experimenting with heterosexuality in the 6th grade. I mean, I always had these feelings, this inexplicable attraction to people of the opposite sex. But I'd never actually acted on those feelings before I was 12. Then, little by little, in clandestine meetings or in back yards during friends' parties, I would occasionally find a willing partner and we would, you know, explore what it was like to act out on these impulses. But did I choose this lifestyle? Or was I programmed into it by an unrelenting barrage of media hyperganda, seducing me into becoming a straight? I'll never know. I only know I'm now trapped in this heterosexual mindset. I don't think there's any hope of any church official deprogramming me out of feeling this way.

You'll meet the right guy one day and you'll forget all about your nagging heterosexual tendencies.

who was traveling to schools talking about the evils of pre-marital sex made the claim that God can make you a recycled virgin. I know that if a man came to me and said that he was recycled, I would be able to overlook his wanton past. I'd do it for the environment.

billboard size picture of Elizabeth Taylor in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. I was forced to look at that voluptuous body for several weeks. Soon I began to seek out other pictures of women with voluptuous bodies. A friend of mine would steal men's magazines from the drug store and I would go over to his house to look at them.

So you might say my involvement with heterosexuality was sparked by Hollywood and soft porn.

I was kissing my boyfriend in the cloakroom and was caught by the teacher. This led to further activities, such as chasing boys, and vice versa, on the playground, listening to rock and roll music as a child and lusting after the musicians, and kissing their posters I had lovingly placed over my bed, even. All before the jaded age of 8.

By then I had moved on to telephone calls. My older brother tried an intervention and told the boy to stop calling, but by then I was hooked. I passed mash notes in class. I pretended to be married to a boy in 4th grade and we even had pretend children in the class.

My friends and I would have slumber parties and would talk about boys we liked and would tell ourselves we were "boy crazy" and hug pillows and pretend to make out with boys using pillows as our substitutes.

Imagine my surprise, however, at 12 when I was told to open my mouth when I kissed a boy. This information was passed along by the older sister of a friend. Yeah, they recruit. What kind of depraved souls lure young ladies into french kissing?

I still suffer from heterosexuality, but I try to deal with it the best I can by distractions like DU and mail order catalogs for "back massagers." But I think I'm tainted for life.

Taint we all, in one way or another.
