Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:36:15 EST From: chiconian1@aol.com Subject: Early Beginnings Post Script Jimmy suggested I write this story which is based on my actual history. He believed it would be good therapy to deal with some of my unanswered questions. He too was a victim of abuse as a child and has always insisted that what Perry and Tommy did to me was wrong. Jimmy's abuse was different then mine. His mother tried to beat the gay out of him until he couldn't tolerate it any longer and left home at the age of 16. He has had a much rougher life than I. When I met him, he was working two jobs, barely making it, while putting himself through college. It was not just his good looks which attracted me to him, it was also his strength and maturity. When I first saw Jimmy walking across the campus, I saw something which I was sorely lacking; purpose and direction. After writing the story and reading it several times, I somewhat agree with Jimmy. I believe what Perry did to take away my innocence and turn me into a 6 year old cock whore was wrong. However, when I met Tommy, I was already imprinted with the need to please an older boy and all he did was fulfill an already implanted need. The difference was Tommy had a conscience and became my friend and protector. I will never know if I would have been gay or strait had people allowed me to grow up without the molestation (including the neighbor girls). I'm not bitter, just curious. I am not sorry that I am gay, otherwise I would have never met Jimmy. I consider myself to be very lucky guy. Although I am basically a top, I only wanted to be a top for one reason. I understood at an early age that the majority of gay men are bottoms. If I became a good top, it would increase my odds of finding a partner. Inside, I am still that little boy who wants to please his partner and receive praise afterwards and have my ego stroked by the object of my affection. I crave it. Jimmy, although my age, has now become that older boy from who I receive the praise. For Jimmy, I am the man who will always love and protect him. Who he can trust to never hurt or abuse him. We fulfill each others needs. He gives me one other gift which I had never before experienced; 'passion.' That is something that was always missing from my life before we met. The lesson I learned from this exercise is older boys and men should allow children to enjoy their innocence for as long as possible and not interfere with their natural process of growing up. My own opinion. Comments, chiconian1@aol.com
