Noun: A psychological affliction that generally affects young males usually beginning onset in the late
teen years to the
early twenties. The diagnosis is usually
chronic and degenerative resulting in eventual
end diagnosis of complete fagdom. Chief among presenting symptoms in
early stages are the following: Moodiness, bleak outlook,
neo-
goth persona, self mutilation and
pain infliciton, stemming from a severe prediliction to body image issues, reversed negative religious leanings and sexual ambiguity, fixation on underage
girls and chronic lateness. Studies have shown
one unifying experience common among all those suffering from 'the reverend decay'. Sufferers have all reported early childhood sexual experiences with elder clergy and the strong identification with an overwhelming sense of pleasure and enjoyment. Many report willingly seeking out diverse and numerous priests, pastors, and reverends for ever more "adventurous" acts of voluntary molestations from a young age well into adulthood, thus inducing the multitude of self injurious attitudes and activities. This deep seated self-hate usually leads suffers to closeted lives of denial of their true transgendered selves and the pursuit of ever increasingly destructive relationships. no cure is known.
