• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I've had "urges" and "dreams" about homosexuailty(e.g., pro-homosecxuailty), but I find the idea of being with men perverse and disgusting. I have always been attarcted to women;I want to spend the rest of my life with a specific woman(once I find her).

However, every now and then I get sexual thoughts and feelings that are homosexual. And then--this is the important part--I sometimes feel as if Im not attacred to women. I get really confused sometimes.

In short;

1)I have sporadic, though uncommon, homosexul thoughts and urges

2)I love women in both a physcial and emotional sense;I would neevr, never, never want to be with a guy

3)I get confused about my sexuailty as if I am gay or not!

If it helps, my father eft my family when I was 14, so I haven't had a father figure. But I don't see how this would affect my sexuailty.

Please help me ASAP!!!! :cry: :cry:

my answer would be no you are not. It is not uncommon for teenagers to sometimes have ambigous thoughts/feelings about their sexuality. You seem very postive about how you view women, I would not let it bother you.

No, you are NOT gay. I'm not qualified to diagnose, but, have you ever heard of HOCD? You might talk with your physician or a counselor regarding this. It's a form of OCD with intrusive thoughts of being gay.

It might help also to talk with a Christian counselor regarding your father walking out on you. Healing the emotional pain will not only help you now; it will help you when you have your own children in the future.

Hope this helps.

As the others have said, it is very common to be confused about things like this at your age. Many people go through it.

Also, having dreams in which strange sexual things happen doesn't always have anything to do with your actual interests or proclivities. Very often, the dream is trying to tell you something completely unrelated to what the dream is about. For example, many people have the dream where they show up at school or work naked. This is usually an anxiety dream that has nothing to do with actually wanting to be naked in front of people.

Please remember when posting in the Recovery forums:


Promotion and/or Endorsement of Certain Topics Prohibited

No endorsement and/or promotion of these topics in recovery:
drug use
gambling
polygamy
extramarital or premarital sexual activity (recovery has included masturbation here.)
homosexuality
transsexuality
abortion
illegal behavior
cigarette smoking in the stop smoking forum

The reason we have this rule is because recovery is a place people come to stop doing certain things. When we have posts that endorses the very thing they wish to stop doing this detracts from our being of support and help to that member. Staff remove or edit posts that distract from the recovery efforts of other members.

Thanks for your cooperation

Blessings

You don't sound gay at all to me. I think you sound completely normal. Brains and emotions just do wierd things sometimes. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Dear Bob,

Don't worry, you're not gay. This is no indicating factor at all, it is a very normal part of growing up and becoming aware of yourself in that area, as your hormones are changing your body and maturing it for reproduction and even your emotions and your mind processing, are affected by your body's reaction to the new chemicals being released as these changes take place.

Again, don't worry, it does not mean you are gay.

It is however, one of the 21 most used homosexual falsities by the gay sub culture. It is one of the falsities that they also will use to recruit teens into their lifestyle, while they are going through these hormonal changes and are vulnerable.

It sounds like you may be gay or bisexual, but it's ok most people are bisexual. The important thing is to follow your heart not your dick, so if you fall for a man then get married and start a life. Unless you are sexist, in which case then just kill yourself because that's what repressing your sexuality will get you anyway.
