Yeah torture is about it for me too, and sure it affects how I express my self, sexually and otherwise. How could it not? Where you took the "moth to a fame" approach, I took the "I WILL be in control of this." approach, which led me to BDSM and becoming a Dom. Wasn't until I dealt with a lot of those issues that I discovered I was just as happy as a Dom in a Dom/sub relationship or, as a versatile in a vanilla relationship.
I don't think it's that gay men are abused more by our fathers, or that we really have any more issues with fathers than straight men but, I do think that because we have to face being gay and all that entails, we are more apt to face other issues, and more apt to openly admit we have those kinds of issues.
