Gay adult-video legend Tom Katt reclaims Christian faith and retires from erotica.
Re-emerging as David Papaleo, he identifies as straight but is sickened by
right-wing Bible-thumpers who preach anti-gay hatred. Papaleo's next stop the pulpit




In the mid 1990s, Tom Katt began regularly appearing in gay porn videos.
The versatile bodybuilder made at least 15 sex flicks in his first two years.
Handsome and talented, he started earning a lot of money.
And for what it's worth, Tom Katt became famous in the world of erotica.

Over the years, steroids and growth hormones augmented his physique.
Cocaine and pot made the good times seem happier, but
the party train kept crashing. Inside, he felt something was missing.
And in 2003, he walked away from the biz. Katt,
who now goes by his birth name, David Papaleo, had found God.

Last month, Papaleo appeared on "The Gravedigger Show,"
an Atlanta-based Christian TV program where he renounced
the adult video world and said he was heterosexual.

On Internet discussion boards, fans of the porn legend posted messages:
some were outraged, some felt duped and some encouraged his spiritual adventure.
Through a Christian bodybuilding website, Dallas Voice e-mailed Papaleo and
requested an interview.

Two weeks later, he called and said he wanted to discuss
his newfound faith, his sexual identity and a spiritual message
for gays and lesbians. This is Papaleo's first newspaper
interview since his conversion.

Mom, church and death
The first four years of Papaleo's life were spent in suburban Atlanta where his parents raised three kids.


When he was 4, his parents divorced. For the next seven years, David lived in a rural area of Massachusetts with his mother and stepfather. Although he also lived with his brother and sister, only David and his mother attended a nearby Catholic church.

"But my mom was what you'd call very clinically depressed," Papaleo, 36, says after finishing a shift as a personal trainer at a suburban Atlanta gym.
He faced death and grief at an early age: When Papaleo was 11, his stepfather killed his mother.

"A lot of people blame God when bad things happen. I was pissed off at everybody everybody in my family for letting it happen. And I walked away from God. I didn't want anything to do with him," Papaleo remembers. "If he was going to let that happen, then I'm staying away from him. Of course, this was the judgment of an 11 year old."

Growing up and getting big
Papaleo moved back to his dad's home near Atlanta, and he carried around a lot of anger. Homework wasn't high on his list of priorities, and he was a loner. In high school, Papaleo joined the wrestling team, but he couldn't tap into the notion of "team spirit."

At 16, he discovered bodybuilding, and results came quickly. Lifting weights allowed him to release pent-up emotions, and it was something he could do alone.
"I developed a strong distrust of being able to count on anybody. Bodybuilding was something I excelled at that was under my full control," he remembers.
In 1986, he competed in the Teenage Mr. Atlanta contest and placed third. Papaleo was hooked. He graduated from high school in 1988 with the dream of becoming a professional bodybuilder. To make money, he unloaded trucks and worked as a personal trainer.

Porn = money

"I always dated girls," Papaleo says, remembering his early adulthood. "But I didn't play the field too well. If I dated someone, it would be for two or three years."
Through a friend of a friend, he got his first offer to appear in an adult video from Fox Studios, a gay erotica company that specialized in bodybuilders.
"When I realized I could make in one day what I'd make in three months. It was like, "'Sure, where do I sign?'" he remembers.

Papaleo was 21 when he made his first film. And back then, he was competing in at least three bodybuilding competitions a year.
"That was the beauty of doing porn," he says. "The movies and personal appearances at clubs enabled me to spend all my time just getting ready for competitions. And preparing for competitive bodybuilding takes up all your time."

At 24, he won his first big regional title at the 1994 National Physique Committee Eastern Seaboard Bodybuilding Championships.
For a while, everything ran smoothly. Because he had a title under his belt, Papaleo could demand more money as a personal trainer his porn rates increased as well.

His family eventually figured out that he was moonlighting in gay erotica. Papaleo even showed them a few magazine covers. But in 1996, the sale of adult videos became legal in Georgia. A video store opened up near one of the Atlanta-area gyms where he trained. In the store's window hung a life-sized cut-out of Tom Katt promoting Falcon Studios' "Total Corruption 2."
"It didn't make me cringe with embarrassment," he says. "In fact, the porn stuff never seemed to faze my family or friends at all."
But once his Tom Katt cover was blown, most of Papaleo's personal training clients dropped him.

Steroids, boyfriends and the Bible
For his first 17 bodybuilding shows, Papaleo competed as a "clean" contestant. After winning the Eastern Seaboard title, he started hitting steroids.

"Ironically, all the years I competed taking steroids, I never won," he says.
Only 5-foot 7-inches tall and at one time bulking up to 255 pounds, the steroids detracted from his aesthetic appeal. He was too big, too thick.
From 1997 to 2003, Papaleo would live in Los Angeles for a few years, then return to Georgia. After a couple of years, he'd move back to Hollywood.
Dating sex workers isn't for everyone, and Papaleo's sexual identity was murky at best.

"During the period of the movies, I had two boyfriends and a couple of girlfriends. I felt I had to stay away from women because, "'hello,' I was doing gay porn no woman was going to have anything to do with me," he says.
For a while, he identified as bisexual.

"But when I leaned more towards trying to date a guy, it just didn't click. When you're in a relationship with somebody, it can't just be a physical thing. You have to have an emotional-spiritual connection or it's not going to work. And I never really found that I could have that connection with another guy," he says.

During this period, he said he wasted huge amounts of money and
didn't have much to show for it.

"I made a lot, and spent a lot. I thought I was having the time of my life. But I started partying with my money constantly altering my mood with chemicals to convince myself I was having such a good time," he says. "But deep down, I was miserable, and I knew it."

When he was a kid, Papaleo crossed Jesus Christ off his list. So over the years, he investigated other faiths: Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. But in 2003, he found himself drawn back to Christianity.

"I didn't hit rock bottom, and I didn't turn to a particular church. I just started praying. I prayed and asked God for help," he says. "I asked him to help me with what my life was becoming, and what my life should become. He truthfully helped me in my heart and showed me that what I was doing wasn't correct."

So he began studying on his own.
And get this.

"I remember being on a [porn] set, and the guys all laughing at me because I was reading the Bible," Papaleo says.

God, love and gays
He didn't blow all his money. Moving back to Georgia in 2003, he focused on his spiritual awakening and realized that blaming God for his mother's death was immature.

Papaleo seems genuinely passionate about studying the Bible. And he's still not affiliated with a particular church.

"I've been very unimpressed with a lot of churches. Many of them don't study or teach the Bible in the depth that it should be taught. A lot of churches pull one or two verses out of the air and make up their own interpretations of it instead of really studying the book itself," he says.

The debates over morality and sexuality identity have fueled his research.
"What I found is that so many people including myself at one time believe those crazy so-called Christians who say, if you're gay or bi, God doesn't want you. That's a big piece of crap," he says. "They are misconstruing and give twisted interpretations of Biblical scriptures. I've extensively studied the scriptures they try to base that on, and it's just not true."

Papaleo has a boiled-down thesis regarding the "men not lying with other men" verses.

"If you look at it historically, culturally and you're not pulling things out of context, the Bible says "'don't to go against what is natural.' If you are naturally heterosexual and you're having sex with men, well, first, you're treating that guy unfairly," he says. "But the Bible's not saying heterosexual is natural as far as from nature's point of view it means going against what's natural for yourself."

As far as same-sex relationships and marriage, "They're not wrong," he continues. "The most important thing is to love God with all your heart. The second thing, is to love your fellow person that same way. I don't know how loving someone of your own sex in that manner is considered wrong."

So now you're straight?
"Yes, I identify as heterosexual. There was a time I thought of myself as bisexual, and I never hide that fact," Papaleo says.

A couple of years ago, after moving back to Georgia, he met a woman. On their second date, he told her about his history as Tom Katt. Although it seems like heavy news for a second date, she seemed to accept it.
"Being completely honest and transparent about things is an important part of the way I live now. I have to be completely up front about everything," he says. And last month, the woman's name became Mrs. Papaleo.

Yo, Reverend! Weren't you a porn star?
Although Papaleo's gone back to competitive bodybuilding, the main thrust in his life is studying the Bible. Last week, he and his wife relocated to Florida so he could enroll in a seminary. Does he hope to be Reverend Dave one day?

"I believe he's pulling me toward the pulpit," Papaleo says.
But what if he makes it to the pulpit and someone turns on a DVD player showing Tom Katt in all his former glory?

"If someone wants to draw attention to that, I'll help them put the spotlight on it. I am not ashamed. If they're going to judge me, I'll tell them to read Matthew Chapter 7 a few times and get back to me," he says. "God is the judge. For someone to judge me, that's wrong."

He might not be ashamed, but Papaleo doesn't have anything positive to say about working in adult video.

"I don't think that erotica or sexuality is a bad thing. I believe that sex is the strongest physical expression of love to another person. But porn is not an expression of love. It's empty and cold," he says.

"There's nothing at all wrong with sex," he continues. "God made sex, too. He gave us these things for a reason. When it's not an expression of love, that's when you're demeaning it into something less than it was meant to be."
Can sex be an expression of love at first sight?
"I don't think so," he laughs.

HIS MESSAGE
As Tom Katt, he participated in many gay pride celebrations. And when you have a pride parade, you have Christian fundamentalists preaching against gays. And that might be the battlefield where he launches his crusade.
"So many people are shunned or feel like they've been pushed away from God that God doesn't want anything to do with them. I want to tell as many people I can that that is an absolute lie," Papaleo says. "God loves everybody. He made you the way you are. All he wants is for you is to turn to him and to love him the same way he loves you. Don't let anyone tell you you're less than anything in God's eyes."

Etymology of Sexual Orientation

The primary meaning of the word gay has changed dramatically duringthe 20th century—though the change evolved from earlier usages.It derives via the Old French gai, probably from a Germanic source.The word originally meant "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy" and was very commonly used with this meaning in speech and literature.

For example, the title of the 1938 ballet aptly named Gaite Parisienne
("Parisian Gaiety"), a patchwork compiled from Jacques Offenbach's operettas,illustrates this connotation, and the optimistic 1890s arestill often referred to as the Gay Nineties.The word started to acquire sexual connotations in the late 17th century,being used with meaning "addicted to pleasures and dissipations".

This was by extension from the primary meaning of "carefree":implying "uninhibited by moral constraints".By the late nineteenth century the term "gay life" wasa well-established euphemism for prostitution and other forms ofextramarital sexual behavior that were perceived as immoral.

The first name Gay is still occasionally encountered, usually as afemale name although the spelling is often altered to Gaye.(795th most common in the United States, according to the 1990 US census).It was also used as a male first name.The first name of the popular male Irish television presenterGabriel Byrne was always abbreviated as "Gay",as in the title of his radio show The Gay Byrne Show.It can also be used as a short form of the female name Gaynell andas a short form of the male names Gaylen and Gaylord.

The "Gaiety" was also a common name for places of entertainment.One of Oscar Wilde's favourite venues in Dublin was the Gaiety Theatre.Sexual orientationSexual orientation, behavior, and self-identification are notnecessarily aligned in a clear-cut fashion for a given individualMost people consider gay and homosexual to be synonyms.This is how, in fact, the Oxford English Dictionary defines it.



However, some consider gay to be a matter of self-identification,while homosexual refers to sexual orientation.Indeed, the British gay rights activist Peter Tatchell has argued thatthe term gay is merely a cultural expression which reflectsthe current status of homosexuality within a given society,and claiming that"Queer, gay, homosexual ... in the long view, they are all just temporaryidentities. One day, we won't need them at all."

If a person engages in same-sex sexual encounters but does notself-identify as gay, terms such as 'closeted', 'discreet', or 'bi-curious'may be applied.Conversely, a person may identify as gay without engaging in homosexual sex.Possible choices include identifying as gay socially while choosingto be celibate or while anticipating a first homosexual experience.Further, a bisexual person can also identify as "gay"but others might consider gay and bisexual to be mutually exclusive.

There are some who are drawn to the same-sex andmay not have sex and also not identify as gay,these could have the term 'asexual' applied even though an 'asexual'generally can mean no attraction and includes heterosexual attractionthat is not sufficient to engage in sex orwhere the sex act is not desirable even though titillation may occur.---------------



Some people reject the term homosexual as an identity-labelbecause they find it too clinical-sounding.They believe it is too focused on physical acts rather thanromance or attraction, or too reminiscent of the era whenhomosexuality was considered a mental illness.Conversely, some people find the term gay to be offensive or rejectit as an identity-label because they perceive the culturalconnotations to be undesirable or because of thenegative connotations of the slang usage of the word.

According to the Safe Schools Coalition of Washington's Glossaryfor School Employees:“ Homosexual: Avoid this term; it is clinical, distancing and archaic. Sometimes appropriate in referring to behavior (although same-sex is the preferred adj).When referring to people, as opposed to behavior, homosexual is consideredderogatory and the terms gay and lesbian are preferred,at least in the Northwest [of the United States].
”—Safe School Coalition, Glossary for School EmployeesThe term gay is used to describe both same-sex male and same-sex female relations,although it is more commonly applied to men. More rarely,gay is used as a shorthand for LGBT: lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.Some transgender individuals find their inclusionin this larger grouping to be offensive.

The Tricky part

a Confession of Martin moran childhood life.
To everyone else in the Denver neighborhood where he grew up in the '70s,
Moran was a studious Catholic boy. No one knew he carried a secret that
would fester for 30 years and lead to extreme anxiety,
sexual compulsion and suicide attempts.

At age 12 he met Bob, a church camp counselor in his 30s who,
for several years, took Moran hiking and camping, and had sex with him.
Moran painfully recounts the inner workings of a lonely,
insecure adolescent who, out of a desperate need for friendship and acceptance,
continued a sexual relationship with a man 20 years his senior.

Feeling guilty and shameful regarding the affair and his homosexuality,
Moran lived a life in which the erotic and the illicit fused,
and compulsive sex became a means of self-punishment.
Over the years, Moran, now a writer and actor, managed to glean bits of
guidance and self-acceptance from his aunt, a contemplative nun;

a New Age music teacher; friends; and eventually,
recovery groups and therapy. Moran's Catholic-American gothic
differs from other abuse/recovery/coming-out memoirs in that it
examines a uniquely gay mind/body split as it subtly reflects on
a gay man's spiritual quest for self-determination and love.

=====================

Moran, now 42, gives a compelling account of his seduction, at age 12,
by a counselor at his Catholic church camp,
and their ensuing three-year relationship.

He describes his gradual addiction to the sex itself,
with no love attached, which he still sees repeated in his brief liaisons
in parks and restrooms, despite 15 years with his partner, Henry.

He remembers enjoying the concealment from friends and parents
of his involvement with Bob, 20 years his senior.
He recounts how he descended from "the top of the Catholic heap" in junior high
to thoughts of suicide when he felt that his deeds
"stuck to [him] like a bad smell." Moran discovers acting,


then joins a men's support group for survivors of sexual abuse, and is amazed at "how much energy it takes in the present to continually dismiss the past." His is a poignant and provocative memoir that delves behind the titillating headlines to reveal what's really at stake when children are sexually abused by authority figures.

Dr. Mao's Secrets of Longevity

Centenarian Tips for a Long Life

Everyone would love to live to a ripe old age, but not if it means looking and feeling like an over-ripe old vegetable. We need to understand that though getting older is inevitable, getting decrepit is not. Being bent in half and wheeling around an oxygen tank should not be what we picture when we hear the phrase "the golden years." I have seen centenarians around the world who defy our stereotypes of the aging experience.

In fact, 20 years ago, while in Shanghai, I took note of the thousands of seniors - a great many of them centenarians - meeting up in parks each morning to practice tai chi. I was truly amazed by their agility, sharp minds, and overall state of health.

Intrigued by this discovery, I began studying the lifestyle of centenarians around the world and anti-aging therapies. I combined these discoveries and uncovered the secrets to longevity. Here are a few secrets that will have you looking forward to your 100th birthday!

Tai Chi: An Exercise in Anti-aging
Tai chi, the choreographed meditative exercises that have been a healing art in China for thousands of years, is practiced by over 100 million people worldwide and owes its popularity to a simple fact - it's enjoyable and it makes you stronger.

Recent studies confirm that when practiced regularly - 30 minutes, three times a week - it has numerous health benefits including: increased energy, decreased stress, an immunity boost against viruses, lowered blood pressure, better cognitive functioning, increased joint mobility, an improved cholesterol profile, relief from fibromyalgia symptoms, and even a better night's sleep.

It also increases leg muscle strength and provides better balance and posture. Perhaps the best part is that tai chi is a gentle exercise that can be performed by anyone at any age. Click here to find out more about tai chi.

Centenarians I have met also take advantage of other rejuvenation techniques the Chinese have known for thousands of years - like acupuncture, acupressure, and energy healing - that increase energy, promote health, and balance the body and the mind.

Diet: The Cornerstone of Longevity
It is no surprise that diet is an essential factor to health and longevity. So what should you be eating? In my studies, I found that the centenarians of two reputed "longevity capitals" - Okinawa, Japan, and Rugao County, a rural community four hours north of Shanghai - shared a nearly identical diet.

These long-lifers eat mostly fish, vegetables, mushrooms, seaweed, corn, and buckwheat - and virtually no meat. Scientists have confirmed the health benefits of a diet high in fish and vegetables and low in animal products. These centenarians are living examples, as they suffer from very little heart and liver disease and have negligible rates of cancer and degenerative diseases.

Environ-Mentality
When it comes to longevity, environment is half of the equation. From the verdant valleys of Ecuador to the rugged mountains of Armenia to the pristine foothills of the Himalayas, centenarians live in environments that exhibit the same characteristics: clean air, good water, low stress, close communities, and unspoiled nature.

Take a tip from these centenarians and drink only clean, filtered water. Connect with your community in a positive way. Find every way you can to bring nature into your life, from planting more trees in your area to more plants in your home.

Avoid the environmental factors that are damaging to our wellbeing and know what to look out for. Just a few things to avoid include xenoestrogens, which are present just about everywhere, pesticides used on vegetables, hormones injected into meats and poultry, phthalates leaching from plastic bottles, and dioxins from bleached paper products. You can avoid these chemical compounds if you buy organic foods and use glass containers and unbleached paper products.

Keep it Simple!
Centenarians' lifestyles are simple. The centenarians I have known lead active lives and get plenty of rest. They are dedicated lifelong learners and avid travelers. Enjoy your years and you will have many more years to enjoy!


I hope these suggestions further your longevity goals! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
