NPH's First Gay Sexual Experience Was During Rent

Sadly, we have yet to crack the binding (or open the digital file) for Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography. We did get this excerpt for you to get a taste.

Luckily, someone at Vulture has parsed some of the more scintillating moments, and it seems there's plenty to be gleaned from the tongue-in-cheek memoir from the 41-year-old actor. Along with the fact that Dustin Diamond being one of the "more unpleasant people," he's worked with, and Scott "Hottie" Caan trying to start a fight with Neil, it turns out he had his first gay sexual experiences while performing in the tour of Rent. As Vulture explains: "The guy was named Andy, and he offered to give NPH a 'back massage,' which even then NPH understood was a euphemism for "orgasm." But rather than become an A-ha! moment for him, he was filled with anxiety:

"It's less an escape from self than a brutal collision with it. The excitement and anxiety of what's happening drives you into an even more analytic, introspective, meta-angsty place than usual. Any chance of surrendering to and thus enjoying the moment is cut off by the constant internal monologue now set to hyperdrive: No one can know, you can't tell anyone, this can't happen again but what if it does ...' But of course it happened again. And it was awesome."
