MST affected the sense of myself.

I mean, my sexuality, my masculinity,

many different parts of my life, you know?

Just the ability to be able
to carry on and function

with other men is hard, you know,

in the beginning, you know?

It's affected every area of my life.

But I've learned how to
grow to challenge myself

to be able to move on from that.

It's hard to escape the thoughts

but I don't have to act on them

and they don't have to become
my realities, you know?

I know that I'm in love with my wife,

and that's who I'm in love with, you know?

When I'm hanging out with a bunch of guys,

it's okay, I'm safe in
that scenario, you know?

Yeah, I mean,

that's just all I gotta
say on that (laughs).
