My first gay crush was John Wesley Shipp. I was 9!
My mother had returned to working in the late 70's, so I was left with my grandmother every afternoon after school.
Each day I got off the school bus at 2:45pm - just in time to get a cookie and sit with her.
Together, we both watched "The Guiding Light," her favorite soap "story."
I can remember feeling "tingly" in my bathing suit area, every time John wore his. I just wanted to touch his chest, biceps, and inner thighs!
I was still way too young to understand why I felt this way, but I knew that John was somehow stirring these feelings.
I didn't feel this way again about another guy, until Tom Selleck started taking his shirt off on "Magnum PI" for me every week!
