I am the Main Minion of Hanuman over at Tiger by the Tale. Do not dare to question this. He has a darling little meme: I must follow and obey.
1. How old were you when you knew you were gay?
I realized the ‘penny dropped’ about 6 years old. I didn’t know what it was, but I knew something about me was different enough the world and I separated into different dimensions. It was rather unsettling.
2. Have you ever had sex with the opposite sex?
Does dream work count?
3. Who was the first person you came out to?

Yes.
5. Do you want children?
Not at my age, no
6. Do you have more gay friends or straight friends?
A ratio warped proportion of queer ducks.

In my 20s I recall a day that rivaled a cat in heat.

Mmmmm, Enigma. I should play that tonight.
But obviously after the kids are sleeping and my bedroom door is locked.

A great meme! I’m on! Can it be true that you missed out on the shopping gay gene? NOT ME! However, I did miss out on the Broadway Show Tunes (and Opera which is the same) gene.

Question #15 and #18 were originally different 😆

Nice mix of the expected and the out-of-left-field — both the questions, and then your answers, too;-)

You simply must put Ft Lauderdale on your list and body hair is always a plus!!!!!
WOOF!

So is your body REALLY hairy then? If so you’ve just landed on a ‘ladder square’. But don’t worry, not having hair is not necessarily a ‘snake’ on MY board.
Could you give us more details sometime about the circumstances of #53, please? – even if it’s several instances? (I asked Tiger the same question).

What is a ladder square?

Raybeard
Snakes & Ladders, Dr Spo. Maybe you don’t have that board game in America? I had thought it was pretty universal.
Anyway, the point is, hairy bodies for me is a BIG plus. Conversely, deliberately shaved bodies something of a ‘no-no’. But lacking body hair naturally isn’t a big deal. (And there you have my ‘mini meme’!)

I try to be Mrs. Morehead, but my brother thinks I am more Countess.
I like that reply, Now Can I call you Countess?

“#53. Ever had sex in public? Yes.”
Dear Dr. Spo, do you think you can just drop a bombshell like that and then leave it? Details, please? Maybe it can be the first post on your new, secret slutty blog.
November 16, 2011 at 11:34 PM
Raybeard
Yes, B.B. I’ve asked the same question above. It would be somewhat inconsiderate not to reveal the details, sordid or otherwise (hopefully the former).
November 16, 2011 at 9:33 PM

Yeah, I’m with Buddy Bear – Enquiring Minds want to know! 🙂

I see nothing but trouble in my future if I completed this meme. I might have to pass on it. 🙂

What a great meme!!! If I ever find time to blog I would use this meme.
Maybe you should do your “Spo Refractions Blog” and start with the story behind #53. 🙂
It reminded me of my own #53. Those were fun days back then.

I’m looking forward to #38. And to #33!
And I’m so stealing this.

Queer Meme - gambrinous with griffonage
[…] stole this from Spo. I've seen several bloggers in my "circle" do this meme, so I thought what the heck. It's a break […]

I was going to resist doing this one, but since all the other kids are doing it, I might as well go play in the traffic too!
