One can only hope that this is satire. However, after the public ex-gay therapy madness of Richard Cohen (discredited even by his peers), this video about a “service” to help recloset gay men is easily plausible.
Who is this guy? His name is David Pickup. Jeebus, that has to be a stage name.“The WorkOUT is a unique program that helps a man who is dealing with homosexual issues to go deep and understand that below the homosexual issues lies a lack of his own inherent masculinity and manhood.
The Workout offers a man three main things…the first thing it offers him is a Lifecoach. A mentoring relationship for each man. The second thing is it offers him a series of accomplished tasks whereby a man can feel his own sense of increasing manhood.
The third thing is what I call the 911 calls whereby a man can call anytime, day or night, to his mentor, in case he needs to talk to him for a few minutes if he is having a particular problem or challenge.
I love helping other men BE MEN. I feel great when I help another man really understand himself — and really help him see that change is absolutely possible…IF he’s willing to go through the tasks, and the accomplishments and the relationships he needs to go to, mainly with himself, to move into his own manhood.”
Start the journey today…
After facing and resolving these issues in his own life, David created The WorkOUT for men who want to change their sexual orientation by securing their full manly identity. David has made The WorkOUT available to all men wherever they live in the world no matter what their personal or spiritual belief systems may be. The WorkOUT exists to help men to feel their sense of masculinity and manhood so they can move more fully into heterosexuality.So…batsh*t crazy or satire? Joe. My. God speculates.
OK, folks. You can have fun reading between the lines of this one…
H/t, G-A-Y.

I can’t see the images at work, but I envision some sort of mashup of Richard Simmonds and Tom of Finland. A sparkly vest and leather chaps, perhaps.
If you assume “stage” is actually spelled “p-o-r-n”, then—yep, that’s what it is, all right.
Maybe this freakshow service is real. Here’s Pickup’s client disclosure statement at Healing for the Soul.
Can someone out there cure my heterosexuality?
i like the emphasis on one-on-one attention with your (undoubtedly male) life-coach… this sounds like a great excuse for some hot man/man private time rationalized as MAN BONDING to me.
But yeah, they totally *go deep* together.
…feel his own sense of increasing manhood., David Pickup…
I’m invoking Poe’s Law.
[Singing]:
Macho, macho man
I’ve got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man (yeah, yeah)
I’ve got to be a macho!
Body, its so hot, my body,
Body, love to pop my body,
Body, love to please my body,
Body, don’t you tease my body,
Body, you’ll adore my body,
Body, come explore my body,
Body, made by God, my body,
Body, it’s so good, my body
You can tell a macho, he has a funky walk
his western shirts and leather, always look so boss
Funky with his body, he’s a king
call him Mister Eagle, dig his chains
You can best believe that, he’s a macho man
likes to be the leader, he never dresses grand
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man
I’ve got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I’ve got to be a macho!
Well, it is hard to say. The blog has only one entry that was posted 10/11/06, and the contact information lists an email address and a phone number, but no physical address, even in the form where you sign up - though it says that you can send it “’snail’ mail”. The “Ask Dave Archives” don’t go anywhere if you click on it. I would say hoax. The real test will be if someone calls the contact number or emails the forms, but that person will not be me.
What if you’re getting gang raped in prison, would he be able to come to your aid?
David Pickup?
DAVID PICKUP!!?!!?
Oh my God. You simply cannot make this stuff up.
