The one I don’t have a link for is the guy who recently went undercover to a gay bar and discussed:

1-Do you recall how old you were when you were molested?
2-What’s the youngest kid you’ve been with?

All, had answers to both.

Counselor Dr. Robert Hicks, author of The Masculine Journey, has written: “…In counseling gay men for twenty years, I have not had one yet whom I would say had a normative childhood or normative adolescent development in the sexual arena. More often than not I have found stories of abusive, alcoholic, or absent (physically and emotionally) fathers: stories of incest or first experiences of sex forced upon them by older brothers, neighborhood men, or even friends.
