The Gist

An E-mail from Ted Haggard

A "friend" of Ted Haggard's told a Colorado TV station that Ted Haggard is not homosexual, but rather a "sexaholic" --- he's so addicted, so "craves" sex, that he'll apparently have sex with anything.

Do people like that really exist?

In the letter he wrote to the "friend," Haggard, who is back in Colorado Springs, changed his story quite a bit from what he has said in the past (among other things, claiming the sexual encounters went on for only three months, not three years as previously stated). And it's definitely a different story from that of former male hustler Mike Jones, who told me on the show, way back when, of Haggard' love of submissive oral sex, among other things (Haggard tried receptive anal sex too, Jones told us).

Read for yourself:


I was referred to Mike Jones from the concierge at a Marriott hotel when I asked for a masseur. It was during the massage that it started to become sensual, and that led to him masturbating me. That was and is our only sexual contact, but it was immoral and it was this experience that caused me to confess immorality in my letter of resignation from New Life Church. During the conversation with Mike during and after the time he masturbated me, he told me about some drugs that he could get for me that would enhance my masturbation experience. I returned on five occasions and bought those drugs. I actually used them three times, throwing them away in shame before use two times. It is for these offenses that I confessed being immoral and deceitful.

These are the answers you have requested, but I do not know why you would say you deserve them? That seems odd to me.

God bless,

Ted Haggard

Do people really get high just to masturbate?
