Gay Men's Addiction to Pain 2

4.   An Alternative Definition Of Gay Diversity...?
5.   Spectrum Of Emotional Pain - Common Theme 

4.   An Alternative Definition of Gay Diversity.....?

1.   We've long suspected that the "diversity" about which Fagland crows, is actually a bunch of people sharing gradations of imposed or self-inflicted emotional pain.  There's that sado-masochism again.  That pain runs the full spectrum from shrieking hypersensitivity, to cynical flippancy, to that clean cut gay boy next door seething inside, to the utterly numb operating on automatic simply as a means of coping.  And all that with - or without - the drugs.


5.   Spectrum Of Emotional Pain - Common Theme

1.   The common theme in that spectrum of emotional pain (see the list in Part 1) is that initially, it feels pretty good, triumphant even.  But it's  a false sense of self-respect. It soon morphs into a cringing gut-wrenching debilitation that leaves the gay man hollowed out. 

2.   Chronic anger and despair sets in.  Searching for answers, he zeros in with a photographic memory of every person in every encounter (real, cyber or imagined) that pissed him off, enraged him, emasculated him, insulted him, betrayed him, cheated him, infected him, rejected him, dumped him, shunned him.

3.   Focused on the details, he can't see the forest for the trees. He reacts to the pain and becomes addicted to it.  He associates Pain as the necessary collateral for being a gay man in "the community".

4.   It is an entirely false reaction and association - but one that every gay man has sucked and swallowed more than cock.
