• 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.

Okay I really need help. I am freaking out. I think I'm sexually attracted to my younger brother (11 yrs. old). Lately I've been having sexual dreams about me and him and I have no clue what to do! This has been happening recently and I don't even know what to say. This is so wrong in so many ways and I just want these feelings to go away....Please please help me!!!:help: :help: :help:

Are you a believer? Have you accepted Christ as savior? If so then take this matter to Him! Christ is where the help is. God has given Him power over all things. This is a piece of cake for Him!

I doubt you are truly attacted. Dreams often have very little to do with reality. You are maturing and your brain is just starting to deal with sexuality and many other issues. It is likely that Satan has placed this lie in your brain and it needs to be rooted out. Hopefully you have not acted on this "attraction".

I have already prayed for you and will throughout the day. :thumbsup: :bow:

First of all you're really young, and with hormones all sorts of weird things can happen. Second of all, you had a dream, and dreams aren't real. Don't be bothered by it. I've had all sorts of weird dreams ... what I do is I rebuke them because they are unpleasant, but once you've rebuked them they're gone forever. Or at least so far, for me.

my friend,

first of all don't panic. the human brain is strange and can play various games to us.

sometimes it happens that we are attracted to people close to us. it may be a combination of love and intimacy. but if we are unable to distinguish between love, intimacy and sexouality then we get ourselves in trouble.

it's normal to be around someone you like, and love and want to become more intimate. eg touch him/her, carress them, kiss them, hug them. every close and healthy relationship should have these attributes.

of course such practices are also used when we are talking about sexouality. in a healthy sexoual relationship all these things are welcome.


the problem arises when both our love feelings and our sexouality get mixed up.
then we might start feeling sexoually towards people that we trully love and care for.

i believe that distinguishing our love from our sexoual needs (which are very natural too) is a healthy way to deal with this issue.

also, you said that you are having sexoual dreams involving your brother too.
dreams can help us understand our life better.

sexoual involvment in a dream can indicate closeness. not sexoual attraction.

dreams have their own interpratation and should not be taken literally.



from what you are saying i would say that you feel very close with your brother and this is beautiful.


if you would like to further discuss this you can pm me.

take care!

Yes I am a believer, and I have already rbought numerous issues too Lord, many of them sexual. Yet I don't seem to get any answers.
I understand that hormones can cause all kinds of crazy things to go on. But as far as I know of my other friends experiance this.
I haven't acted on it since I've been worried about it. But when I was younger me and my brother did some things. But I was never attracted too him, though. But I became disgusted by my brother when I was about 10 and wanted nothing to do with him for the longest time. Now I feel like I'm trapped in a nightmare, I was already worried about my sanity. But this is like confermation.

may i suggest that the past expereiences with you brother caused the sexual dreams now. I know that this summer I went too far with my girlfriend at the time but thankfully didnt have sex. Even though we didnt have intercourse or anything, a couple months into the semester this year i started having very intens sexual dreams about her. It was almost as if my virginity was taken during those dreams. Guard your heart, I know i will attempt to for the future. God Bless!
