As I sit here pondering how many people will be stunned by this title, the briefest theology of sex I can give is that it's part of God's beautiful creation, and we are best to treat it as such. While Catholic morality may often appear oppressive or boring, this article describes the strong...

Hello all. I am currently a university student very interested in Christianity, and doing a thesis research paper surrounding the opinions that Non-Christian vs Christian people have on freedom of speech and sexuality and am seeking Christian members to partake in my survey :) It is a...

This was a very odd circumstance that just happened to me. I was on Facebook & got a friend request from someone I didn't know. My account is a joke account, not even with my last name on it, just Alex with an old nickname. I created it exclusively to talk to a few friends who never check...

Hello all, I am a new user here but I am seeking some guidance from fellow christians. I am not a christian myself, but i do align with their morals and code and have looked into being more involved with religion. Recently, I have started to find myself becoming attracted (sexually and...

i have many problems and I see advertisement here for faith counselling but it is too expensive for me long term. Where can one get free counselling? Thank u

I don’t want to be over dramatic but tbh 5 years ago my life changed forever. I was 16 and went on a camping trip and met a girl I liked. I came home from the camping trip and after a few days I never felt the same again. My mind had changed and didn’t get aroused by women anymore. I initially...

I just read my bio on this website and it struck me. I’ve been on this site for 5 years looking for answers and I never have got any better. I read my bio and I said in it that I am 19 and that I still have the same problems since age 15. I’m now 21 and am still the same way. Will I ever become...

I seem to like women with blonde hair and brown eyes. Is this being judgemental and wrong?

Could some's same-sex attraction stem from them being made for masculine-women/feminine-men, of body &/or of mind (neuroscience of MBTI/Enneagram/etc.)? and what does that mean for those dispositioned to same-sex intimacies (anal for men/clitoral only for women/etc.) since sex is in-part to...

Hi my name is Andrew and I’m 20. In the past 3-4 years my life has fallen apart due to my mental health. When I was growing up I took my christian faith seriously and believed 100% in God, Jesus, bible etc. When I was 15 I was friends with an atheist at my school and he never tried to discourage...

When I was 16/17 it seemed like my sexual desire for women left overnight and since then I begun to hate myself as I could never have a girlfriend because I'd be lying to myself and I wouldn't be able to please her properly or be honest with her. I did bad things to 'test' myself and I couldn't...

Hi there, over the past 3 years my life has taken a turn for the worse. I am a very studious person and have some interests however I feel very sad as I am missing something very important - my attraction to women. One day when I was 17 I just seemingly felt much less attracted to women and I...

I am 20 yrs old and I don't have a girlfriend but would like one (preferably of Polish or Spanish origin). Would you have any tips for on how I can find a girlfriend that is kind and that I get along well with. I have quite low confidence because of some issues I have and so I wouldn't feel...

Where in the bible does it say that you can't have sex before marriage? And if there is a verse on this topic, why is it so important? How do couples manage to abstain from sex for years before getting married - it seems weird in this day in age. For example, if I saw a couple I would...

When I was 16 it seemed that overnight my attraction to women dramatically reduced. I am now 20 and I am still struggling with this and have become very depressed. I find it very hard to get on with other people as I hate myself and get negative thoughts about myself all the time. All I want is...
