Now, Adam is the accomplished author of the Dr. Drew and Adam Book: A Survival Guide to Life and Love. He also has an accomplished television and radio career going. He is on Loveline on KROQ, Loveline on MTV, and the Man Show on Comedy Central.

1. What should I do if I think I might be gay?
Dr. Drew: This is a common thing. We encouraged young people who have same sex feeling to not feel threatened or alarmed by them and to understand that pretty much everybody at some time in their development will have same sex attractions. Women particularly will confuse warm, intimate feelings with physical attraction.
                 We generally tell people not to act out on those feelings of confusion. Just because they have the same sex attraction doesn't mean they're bisexual; it doesn't mean they're gay. It may mean they're going thru usual development. This may be awakening of homosexuality or they may just be confused and ambivalent. If they still have ambivalence about their sexual orientation at nineteen or twenty and oh by the way, they tell us they had a terrible trauma that contributed to that that's confusion about sexual orientation and identity.

 2 .Why shouldn't I act on those fellings when they first present themselves?
Dr. Drew: Because the average person having those feelings at fifteen or six- teen, if he or she has sex, is going to worsen his or her confusion. Let's say a clearly homosexual or heterosexual person chooses to have sex at fifteen or sixteen: That in itself is going to be traumatic for them because they're not quite developed to be able to handle it, even with a clear-cut sense of them- selves and their sexuality. Even people who are clear about their sexuality can be adversely affected by getting involved physically at a young age. Now, if they're acting out when they're confused, that will only contribute to difficulty and confusion in development. We don't discourage a twenty-year-old from experimenting. Maybe you are gay. If you're really having strong feelings for guys, women, whoever, so be it. Maybe this is part of a burgeoning homosexual orientation; maybe you're bisexual. By that age, one should have a much clearer sense of one's identity, sexual or otherwise. But if it's someone who's twenty and they were sexually abused at five and have talked to us about their confusion, we're going to say, "Look, there's going to be a lot of chaos in your relationships. Be careful. Try to stay with one person. Get some therapy and see if that confusion doesn't sort itself out." 

Adam: We don't talk to that many homosexuals who haven't had some form of abus{' in their lives. Now you've got to realize that they're talking to us because they have a problem; they're not happy that they're gay. So this isn't all gay people we're talking about. I really used to be under the impression that you were either gay or you weren't and that was about it. What the hell could you do? It's the way you were born and 1 didn't think much about it. But I realize now that a fairly large percentage-or a much higher percentage than people either know or will admit-a large percent- age of bisexuals, gays, and lesbians have had less-than-satisfactory childhoods and that has been a factor in determining their sexuality. But it's not politically correct to say, "The reason you're gay is because you were molested." 

Dr Drew: Again, this is based on the people we speak to.

3. I've always dated women, and want to get married one day and have kids. But recently I've met a guy while I was on a business trip. We kind of hit it off and I guess we wound up being intimate. Am I gay?
Dr. Drew: I have heard this story from many gay men, both in clinical set- tings and casually, that particularly these young males or young adults didn't want to be gay, Not that they didn't acknowledge their gay feelings. But they just wanted so badly to fulfill the image of the adult they expected to grow up to be. And that included wife and kids; many of them go so far as getting married and having kids. 

Adam: I wouldn't intellectualize the decision too much. If you label yourself, then you sort of have to c'om- mit to one lifestyle or the next, and then you may go against whatever your impulse is. But I wouldn't try to map it out now. And yes, I think if you gave a guy a blow job on a business trip, you are gay. But I don't understand that. I mean, if that isn't what your proclivity is, why would you do it? I'll hear guys say, "Yeah, I slipped up, I had a beer, I was at a party, one thing led to another." To me that just means you are in de- nial. What I'm saying is: You are either in or you are out. You go on a business trip, you go away for a couple of days, you give a guy a reach-around-you are in. Which is fine. Just go ahead and say, "That's what I do." No problem.

Janeane: There are so many married gay people that we see. And a lot of them are very famous because there are many famous people who can't possibly admit that they are gay, and they have wives and children.

Dr. Drew: Why is that?

Janeane: Fear. 

Dr. Drew: Fear of rejection if they show their real selves?

Janeane: I don't know if there are still so many people in 1998 who can't bear the thought of being gay.But I think it goes back to bad parenting. Some people are scared of their parents.

Dr. Drew: I think this guy is probably gay, and that he isn't really accepting that yet. I would look very carefully at what his sexual orientation is before I did something like get married. 

5. Are you either gay or straight? Or are there true bisexuals?
Adam: If you're a guy, you're either gay or you're straight.

Dr. Drew: I think there is such a thing, but it's much easier for a woman to be bisexual for a number of reasons, both sociological and psychological. There is such a thing as a mature bisexual orientation, but it's relatively uncommon. The most common thing we see is the homosexual male who doesn't want to accept his sexual orientation. So he keeps trying to have a heterosexual life. Or it's someone who has a good deal of ambivalence about his sexuality, usually from some sort of sexual or physical abuse from his childhood.

6. When should you come out?
Adam: After your folks die.

Dr. Drew: You should be coming out when you're clear in your orientation. When you're planning to commit to that lifestyle. Probably when you have a stable relation- ship, when you have a sufficient network of supportive peers of a similar persuasion to fall back upon, to relate to, to give you support when you stand up and get counted. Because there will be a reaction. You will have people hurting you. And if you don't have the right support there, it could be devastating.
