JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS ASSISTANT COACH KEV MAXEN MAK HISTORY AFTER COMG OUT AS GAY

All of a sudn the other week the word gay started poppg up my head and would not go away…I am not attracted to guys and never have been, but i nnot get the thought out of my head, s not like fantasizg about , s jt a voice sayg everythg you are dog is gay and i am gonna lose everythg i have bee i am gay, why did you look at that guy? Its like bee of a posve event ive done enough or my md is tryg to sabotage me om talkhg the next maybe s all nial rearched the hair whorl, fger x, certa smells are givg off by homexuals and women uld tell wh a high percentage someone was gay om jt lookg at a picture, gone on foms who say hocd is non existence and read storied about people who say they uld be okay one day not thkg about homexualy, and they next they uld nt and the end they have e out.

I get aroed by gay porn (somethg I jt disvered, I never liked before), I notice good lookg men the street(actually I notice them, and I would thk “damn that’s nice body, wish was me, I hate him for beg hot”), but I jt n’t image myself wh a man, I don’t like how they smell, I don’t like the fact that after all is mans ass you have to…”touch”, I n’t image myself datg men, gog out wh them, jt spendg my life wh a man is horrible ia, and somethg I am sred, like I will fd out that I am gay and that everythg I ever dreamed about is jt some big fat lie. I am open md, I said that is ok for him, but I am not gay… after that I felt like I didn’t do the right thg, like I should have punch him, I should have ll him nam and leave, not be nice to him, and profg myself that fact I am gay, but I jt live a lie… This is tratg, I am terrefied of the thoughts, bee I see myself only wh a girl. I have even e to the pot that sce such thoughts n be recurrg I say to myself, “ok I’m gay” but then I thk… wa a moment I bee a Casanova whenever I see a pretty girl and n’t prevent flirtg wh her so maybe I’m bi” and such, an entire matn until I e back to the pot of not knowg who I am, but simply that a pretty girl specially Rsian hypnotiz me!

When i was 11 i did somethg kda gay wasn’t sex or anythg like that was jt like a touch (not a pedophile way) i didn’t like at all and I’ve been straight all my life sce that happened and i regret dog that i don’t even know why i would do and im sure im not gay and i always have to repeat myself that im not gay i get imag my head i dont want and i nt go out bee i feel someone might see me gay or that i would act feme i nt look at people of the same sex at the face i had sex many tim i enjoyed all the time. I am 18 years old (first year at uni), when i was around 14 someone asked me if i was a lbian and i remember gettg really anx and eakg out, after that i didnt stop thkg about , and eventually broke down tears to my mum; and i nt really remember what she said but she was okay wh , i did go to a therapist (not for this, but for other reasons) and i refed to talk to her about beg gay bee i was terrified she would tell me that i was.

Anyway fast forward four years and i got my heart broken (i thk, not sure if i was love, but i have never been so hurt by someone before), and on top of that i was on youtube one day and randomly clicked on a g out vio (i dont have a problem wh gay people, although i did when i was 14 – i wouldnt watch films wh gays etc.

Although this went away when the thoughts about beg gay stopped) and he started talkg about how he knew he was gay, and my heart dropped and i started feelg anx believg that this was what i had thought when i was 14, and maybe i am a lbian and have been lyg to myself sce (i then remembered how when i was makg out wh my ex i asked myself once if i was really attracted to him).

Anyway I was dog fe, I was gettg back to my old self whout doubts and then I heard somethg that ma me spike, a gay person said that people who are gay might not know they’re gay but fear that they’re gay and not know of when they’re young, was basilly this and that eaked me out bee I obssed about beg a lbian when I was 13 jt bee I had lost tert my current csh at the time and started to thk why did I stopped likg him and then bam “omg do this mean I don’t like boys anymore” was jt that and I obssed about over a few months and then when stopped I ntued to love boys but after that sometim if I remembered that I ed to obss about that I would fear that I would get obssed about that aga and that I was ed a lbian. That ’s really what fuels my anxiety bee I keep thkg that if I had this before mt mean somethg and the fact that I had this at young age 13/14, as I said before I ntiued to like men and I never had a csh on a girl or somethg but sce that time I feared that one day I’m gog to fd out that I’m gay or somethg and that I’ll never be able to be wh or appreciate men aga.
