I became seriously concerned when I was about 12 years old and found myself in a kind of trance, heading toward kissing a photo Kate Jackson (circa her "Dark Shadows" period) that I had cut out of "16" magazine. And at age 18, in the Air Force, I wrote worried passages in my journal.

When I was 6 and was literally knocked on my ass on the playground by Gail Something-or-other, also 6, because I tried to kiss her (facial) cheek. Somehow SHE knew and therefore told me that "girls aren't supposed to kiss other girls," but I had missed out on that information.
