Keeping secrets just contributes to my anxiety level, and hell, I&#8217;ve got enough anxiety to begin with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Embarrassment<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s funny that when I look at the most embarrassing things I&#8217;ve ever done, they&#8217;re really kind of tame.  I tried to make a list and I look at it and think, &#8220;Well, okay, maybe some of them are a little embarrassing, but is that it?&#8221;  I&#8217;ll have to update it when I think of more.  There must be something really shameful and humiliating to share that I&#8217;m blocking out.  Of all of them, (they&#8217;re in no particular order) the one that still makes me wince the most is the first item:<\/p>\n<p>1. Plagiarizing the first paragraph in a Sertoma writing contest when I was eleven and then winning and getting a hundred dollar savings bond.  <\/p>\n<p>2. Shoplifting a Fat Albert action figure from Walgreens when I was ten years old.<\/p>\n<p>3. Masturbating a lot while looking at bondage pictures.  Masturbating while crossdressing.  Masturbating in general.<\/p>\n<p>4. Trying not to masturbate when I was sixteen years old, lasting eight weeks, and then letting loose looking at lingerie ads in Playboy magazine.  <\/p>\n<p>5. Dropping acid at a midnight screening of some Pink Floyd concert movie when I was seventeen, getting very high from it, then later being told by my friend that he fooled me &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t acid at all, just a blank piece of paper.<\/p>\n<p>6. Walking in on my parents having sex.<\/p>\n<p>7. Not actually having sexual intercourse with a woman till I was twenty-seven years old.<\/p>\n<p>8. Making a joke about &#8220;Homo&#8221; milk when I was eight and watching my father&#8217;s face turn pale.<\/p>\n<p>9. When I was fifteen, being in an art class and for some reason the word &#8220;Finland&#8221; came up, which I then rhymed with the word &#8220;Fag.&#8221;  Strangely enough, a girl in the class was from Finland and was so offended that she picked up a chair and held it over my head at my desk and then just stood there and wouldn&#8217;t stop.  I sat there blushing and feeling utterly bewildered like, &#8220;Wha&#8217;d I do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>10. When I was in my early teens, hanging out with a couple girls from my church group and some lady came by and mistook me for a girl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ironically enough<\/strong>, variations on the &#8220;being mistaken for a girl&#8221; story happened probably ten times when I was a child or early teen.  At the time I was so humiliated but now that I&#8217;m grown it&#8217;s something that I would love to have happen again.  Funny how that works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ideally, I would like to be completely transparent about my life, so that anyone seeing me on the street would immediately see that I&#8217;m a TV and that I could tell anyone about my bondage website if the conversation went there.
