--- Quote from: "Guest" ---I bet you found that especially acceptable, right, Ursus? Don't deny your rising sexual excitement as you imagine sex starved teenage boys, sleeping together half nude every night. Admit it, Ursus, this turns you on, doesn't it?
--- End quote ---
While some students could gain the privilege of sleeping without a shirt, we did not sleep together, and it was a cat 5 to even touch someone when they were lying in bed. Sorry to ruin your fun.

I also updated it to a newer revision I made.
RMA Survivor:
What you went through seems like a concentrated version of all the programs that came before. Frightening to think these programs are becoming even more abusive as the years go by. Lack of oversight and regulations I suppose.
I could not imagine being in constant fear of endless punishments. It sounds like they had so many punishment-based rules because they never wanted you to feel like you were safe from punishment. I went to RMA and we had two punishments. Work Details and Full Times. They were horrible, humiliating experiences, but nothing compared to the evil you had to endure.
It really sounds, from your description, that they have refined these programs to make them as abusive and demeaning and destructive as they could possibly make them. But we live in a society that now considers torture to be acceptable, so it is no wonder there's no concern about how vile these programs are becoming.
psy:
bump. Great thread.
Anne Bonney:
It is a great thread. Difficult to read though....brings back many horrible memories. This could have been written by a Straight survivor, changing just a bit of the cultspeak/loaded language. It never ceases to amaze me that people think this kind of crap is useful, let alone safe. Especially to a child and one who's considered "troubled" to begin with. This is why I say that programs that use these methods of "therapy" (read, quackery) are inherently and systemically dangerous.
