Fly had a secret marriage when he was 14 to a Danish contortionist who worked in a sideshow. They lived blissfully in her carnival trailer for a short while until one deep, dark night his parents whisked him away without his even having an opportunity to say farewell to his demanding yet flexible lover. Now, even years later, he is still aroused whenever he sees posable action figures and Gumby dolls.
