→Personal life: Sexual restoration
When Bailey was in grade three, he was introduced to sexual play, including streaking and oral copulation. The experience not only robbed him of his childhood innocence, but awakened in him a sense of sexual curiosity. Consequently, Bailey became preoccupied with images of male nudity and with taking more daring sexual risks with different boys. As he grew older, the sexual activities quickly became [[addiction|addictive]]. When he was a young man in the military, he continued to crave male intimacy and experience gripping [[same-sex attraction]]s. An intimate but non-sexual encounter with a military male friend whom he greatly admired eventually led to explicit homosexual behaviors.

Looking back on his past, Bailey says he now sees that he has been brought out of what he calls the “[[sexual disorientation|sexual confusion]] of homosexual behaviors” to a sexual clarity in mind and heart. He has left behind what he calls the “self-defeating environment of my own, very negative self-image” and moved into an unshakable understanding of his value and self worth as a beloved child of God.

==Sexual restoration==
When a person abandons their inward [[belief]] that it was [[homosexual behavior]]s that define them as a person, then they must set out to rediscover ''what'' it is that actually does define their [[personhood]]. They must learn to embrace and give those higher human ideals a greater value and meaning within their own [[character]] and existence, than they gave to the [[homosexual]] [[addiction]]s which they allowed to dominate their thinking and reasoning in the past.
[[Gay activist]]s vehemently insist that the journey Bailey have taken is harmful. They have even managed to get bills passed in several states which outlaw counseling for persons desiring help toward becoming free from their homosexual behaviors and addictions.
Bailey freely admits that the freedom He has found is a journey that could very well involve a lifetime, rather than a simple transition of just a few short years. He also acknowledges that this journey will cause some inward conflict, pain and emotional discomfort at times, even when it is chosen as a path. But he does believe that '''sexual restoration''' is ultimately a very healthy choice in the end, and not a harmful one. Nothing of extraordinary value is ever going to be easy to achieve, after all. So it is on purpose that he calls this journey a “restoration” rather than a change or a [[conversion]].<ref name="Baklinski20102014">
