• 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.

Hi all,

I am a 41 yo male. I've been a born again Christian since 2004 at the age of around 33yo when I gave my life to Christ. I have never shared this story with anyone before...ever!!! I know that my family won't disowned me but would definitely treat me different if they found out!

A little history about me...Back when I was around 4 or 5 years old, while playing my very first game of hide-and-go-seek, I had a (boy) friend who asked me to hide with him. Being that i was so innocent at that age, not knowing anything about sex, girls, boys and not even knowing how the game was played, I decided to go hide with him. While hiding, this boy touched my privates multiple times..all i did was giggled but i seemed to like it because the next game i wanted to go hide with him again. A few days later, another boy around my same age kissed me on my lips and touched my privates again. At this time I was enjoying it although i knew in the back of my mind that it was wrong. don't ask me how I knew but I remember wanting to conceal what i was doing from any adults. a few days after that and for the next 4-5 years, this continued on and there were approximately a total of 5 boys i did this with until the age of 10. It became more than just kissing and touching but no penetration. It stopped at this age b/c my family decided to move. I grew up into my teenage years liking girls b/c it seemed it was the normal but the thoughts of my experienced with boys never seemed to leave me. After years of struggling and having experienced sex with girls, I decided to give my deepest urges a try.

Many years went by since then, and many experiences with both sexes. Finally i decided to marry a wonderful woman...b/c it was the right thing to do and I thought perhaps the urges would go away. They didn't! I kept having affairs with men. Finally i got saved at the age of 33! Praise GOD! From this point on, i lived my life for the Lord. I read the word and wanted to serve in so many different ways...and did! The urges were silent but still present...i just ignored them until one day i couldnt help myself anymore. I began to touch and eventually went back to having affairs with men. Currently I am still married but haven't had sex with my wife for a while and continue to have sex with another man. I also began taking estrogen pills to feminize my body since it was already somewhat feminine. I always had very small genitals and could not even have children of my own. this added to my urges in a way since it made me feel that i couldn't satisfy any women with it.

I need help please tell me what i should do. I continue praying for an answer but I am now feeling that perhaps being bisexual is not sinful but what is sinful is cheating on my wife and lying to her. I don't want to hurt her feelings!

I wish I could help. I am the same as you. Except I am not married. I have had relationships with men but I find women more attractive and cant stop that. I wish I could turn it off.. I do wonder why some of us have it harder?? I mean seriously it is not something that you choose. Let us pray for each other.
