Silence is Death

Date October 4, 2008

I am currently looking for mentors.  I will tell you more about the motivations behind this in another post.  However, I am currently pushing this forward well.  I met a guy for breakfast this morning, and I am meeting four other guys this week to discuss the possibility together.  It’s kind of exciting, but also […]

Restoring sexuality is possible but it just isn’t a walk in the park

Date June 3, 2008

The process of change is difficult and complicated. I suppose this is analogous to the difficult and complicated process of becoming ‘homosexual’ in the first place. The process back to heterosexuality involves just as many layers. A key difference however is that the process of becoming homosexual is largely subconscious, yet the […]

Do you believe in change?

Date April 18, 2008

Do you believe in change?  Not just change in homosexuality but change in people in general.  Can a guy troubled by raging anger gain control of his anger and learn to react differently?  Can a person who overeats habitually due to poor self-image and a desire to confort him/herself, gain the confidence required to learn […]

People Can Change

Date April 11, 2008

I want to say that it is possible to change.  A predominant section of society and culture seeks to repress and deny this truth.  I am made to feel shame for believing this.  I am ridiculed for stating it, and scoffed at behind my back.  But this has similarities to how people treat someone who is […]

“Play with the Little Girls”

Date April 8, 2008

I had some therapy recently.  It used pyschodrama - which in my own words is simply the replaying of traumatic incidents from the past via roleplay in a group situation.  I focused on my ties with my mother.  In many ways she expected me to be the “good little boy”.
I recalled a situation when I […]

Gay Identity - internal and external

Date April 7, 2008

I wonder a lot about “gay identity” and its link to homosexuality i.e. is being ‘gay’ synonymous with being ‘homosexual’.  I believe the two terms are not the same.  I generally do not say “I am gay”, and I think there are a lot of men who would not state that they are gay, but […]

‘Hedging your bets’ vs going ‘all in’ - hope vs certainty

Date March 30, 2008

I went to a festival yesterday with a friend.  It was an outdoors type of event - a lot of walking around taking in the beautiful surroundings at the start of spring.  I was happy with myself for organising the trip.  I had asked a few people, but only one friend could make it.  I […]

A Heretic in the Gay Community

Date March 19, 2008

A lot of people don’t believe that it is possible to change from being heterosexual to homosexual.  In fact, it is seen by many people I know to be offensive to suggest that change is possible.  I don’t wish to offend anyone, but I whole-heartedly believe that change is possible.  I also believe that it […]

Impossible is Nothing

Date March 15, 2008

I want to encourage every man who struggles with unwanted homosexuality. I want you to know that you are not alone. There are many men just like you, who are looking for, or who are on, another path - a path that society doesn’t give us easy access to, but a path that is available […]

The Simple Joy of Action

Date March 14, 2008

So, I’ve been talking about taking action recently - the need to act on my wants and desires. Well, I thought I would not just talk about it - I’d do it. I have a friend who lives a good 3 hours away by car. I’ve been wanting to call him to connect and to […]
