2. All good and well, BUT ...

"Psychological support. the medical support, and if need be, the legal support. "

The FIRST support many of US needed was simply how to say "I'm interested, but not now/yet, let's take it slower" with conviction and some dignity for both parties.

Just because I'm in a gay bar for the first time in my life and *really* want to know if I'm actually gay, doesn't mean I want to be railroaded into something. I was far more concerned with 'killing the moment' and potentially losing a (so far) sweet and gorgeous guy, than making sure I was totally ready for what we did. Looking inexperienced would have been a bigger embarrassment in my immature way of thinking. No, I wasn't ready. But no 19yo virgin wants to acknowledge that.

Sex education should include negotiation and leaving with dignity for both parties.
