I struggle with same sex attraction and I'm looking for any literature and discussion of said literature that might help me out in resisting temptation of both my heart and my body (e.g. ex-gay books or books that provide comfort and advice to those battling this sin). I've already read a few books on the topic.

>Same-Sex Attraction and the Church: The Surprising Plausibility of the Celibate Life

Firstly, I'm not gay; I'm not a practicing homosexual (or at least I try not to be--occasionally I'll succumb and masturbate), I simply battle same sex attraction. "Gay" carries the connotations that one sleeps with other men.
The Bible is truth, please don't be blasphemous in this thread.

My therapist gave up on me because she couldn't convince me that God would be okay with it, because the Bible is clear as day; it's not.

>Why do you feel the need to change your heart?
Because my heart is wicked and my desires should be reordered towards the Kingdom of Heaven. As such, ideally I'd be rid of these sexual/romantic thoughts and feelings, but I'd be more than willing to settle for learning how to deal with them and not give into sin.
>Do you believe your temptetions are lesser than other people?
No. From my readings
>Homosexuality is not to be excused in the Christian life any more than adultery, fornication, incest, bestiality, or pedophilia would be. 1 Cor 6:9 and 1 Tim 1:10 make clear that homosexual conduct on the part of anyone, including believers, is among the serious sins that can disqualify one from "inheriting the kingdom of God." If God's punishment for idolatry was to step back and allow degrading human passions to control human life (1:18-32), how can God's deliverance be anything less than liberation from the control of such passions? What ldnd of salvation would leave people trapped in degrading behavior and continually subject to the ongoing wrath of God?
>Imagine a society that endorsed pedophilia-how much more difficult would it be to induce pedophiles to change their behavior? In the current political climate, not only do ex-homosexuals not receive societal congratulations, they also are villifled by homosexual-activist groups. Change of any behavior requires strong personal motivation to change. When society and even the church states that change is both impossible and wrong (homophobic), very few will be inclined to change.

>>13303993
Because I want to stop having the temptation or at least deal with it without giving in (e.g. masturbation). Nofap in and of itself is easy, but I detest wet dreams which often aren't even erotic and leave me drowsy the next day, which affects my life negatively, and I have no control over it/they're unwanted so I feel as though there's some similarities to rape (unironically).

Books are nothing. Stop masturbating and stop watching porn. This fetish is a parasite that feeds off of sexual energy. Meditate every day and kill the parasite with silence.

Ignorance of the law (sin) doesn't protect you from the consequences. It's just you can't repent if you consciously know the sin and do it anyway. Which is too bad because we're flooded with mind poison like >>13304188

Ignore them, because what you strive for is genuine virtue, and they do this as well to anyone who wants to be righteous.

You do already read the Bible, but you may find some insight on this subject in the greek and scholastic philosophy as well. Try also

I caught the gay through internet porn and became sexually obsessed with the idea of homosexuality. I also used drugs while masturbating to increase arousal and became a generally sick-in-the-head pervert.

OP here, in Be Not Deceived there are several men whose specific stories are detailed (and their wives are interviewed), what winds up happening is the men genuinely do emotionally, but not sexually, love their wives, and they frequently wind up having anonymous sex trysts with other men that they try to hide from them. The wives, in some cases, blame themselves, while in others they are distraught (aside from the obvious) because they can't fulfill their husband's sexual needs. It's a really ugly situation to be in.

Not to mention http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(18)30022-9/fulltext . While I'm not a teen, it's reasonable to conclude based on this and the adult experiences in the books I've read that it's a stupid, stupid idea.

There is literally no difference between gay and straight men cheating on their wives. Don't listen to any modernist advocates of sexuality.

I have strong desires to crossdress and that doesn't prevent me from being faithful to my girlfriend. Everyone has desires they have to curb, don't be so arrogant to think that you are any different. If you abandon the only thing keeping us from bloodbath and complete anarchy (heterosexual marriage) don't expect society to owe you any favors

Nice thread OP. I'm in the same boat as you -- struggling with SSA and a porn addiction, struggling to still live a Christian life. (I also end up relapsing every 2-3 weeks.) Since our situations sound similar I don't imagine I can offer much help, but take my moral support and my prayers.

Lately I've gotten a lot out of reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I'm not sure why, maybe because it's helpful to remember the purpose and meaning of Christianity, to subordinate my desires to God's will. SSA isn't the only problem I turn to God for and I think it's helpful for me when I don't define my whole relationship with God around this one sin.

I'm sure you're also reading the Bible, but I'm also taking a Bible course which I find helpful. Both because it helps me understand the Bible on a deeper level, and because it puts me in a room with other Christians who can model for me what Christian relationships are supposed to look like.

I haven't read it yet, but I'll second Libido Dominandi, only because many of my friends highly recommend E. Michael Jones. This book is actually on my list (while I'm working through some other books).

I find it really helpful when I pray a rosary. I'm pretty bad about making a habit out of this, but it pays off when I do. Maybe you have some principled reason against Catholicism if you're non-denominational, but I still recommend it.

One other thing -- I sleep with a little wooden cross under my pillow. Anons can laugh, but a few times now I've woken up in the middle of a SSA dream, subconsciously reached for my cross, and peacefully gone back to sleep. One thing I've learned is that symbols and talismans really matter, so I'd recommend something like that.

Thanks for the thread, I appreciate the way you shut down sin-enablers.

That's just it, it's a mirror. Homosexuality is nothing but narcissistic lust for the self reflected in another. Only heterosexuals can truly love the image of the divine as embodied in another human soul.

Being gay or having Homosexual attraction isn't a sin. It's acting on your sexual impulses that is a sin.

Same logic being angry is fine. Being violent because you're angry is not.

OP you are basically condemning yourself to a life without romantic love. Believe me when I say romantic love, combined with the act of sexual union, is the purest, most authentic and satisfying thing you will ever experience. Pursuing a relationship with a woman you are not sexually attracted to would be disingenous, it would hurt her and encase her in a lie, while denying her the experience of full-love. Forcing yourself into a life of celibacy would hurt yourself, which is also tragic

Why would a God instill in people same-sex attraction and then punish them for it? Why would a God be angered by the existence of same-sex attraction? An omnipotent being would surely be above the kind of prejudices you encounter on a school playground. If the kind of God described here governs the universe - the one that judges people for meditation, for building romantic connections with the same sex - this paranoid hateful, alcoholic rage infused God - if that God governs the universe then I would gladly be cast into a lake of fire. Why would I want to share a Kingdom with such a brutish God?

Also, the whole lake of fire idea is pretty recent and doesn't really exist in the original texts, but whatever.

Why not just try it and if you hate it steer clear from it? Doesn't even have to result in getting dicked down or dicking a man down. Explore companionship with the same sex and if it's not for you, leave with the peace of mind that you tried and are free of your thoughts.
