Hello, I am a male that lives in Massachusetts and I grew up in a Christian family. Recently, i began smoking marijuana on a regular basis and i noticed some adverse effects on my sexual preference. Before i started smoking i had some homosexual thoughts but very little. As a matter of fact, there were some points in my life in which i believed homosexuals should be segregated and even killed. What I am trying to say is that i grew up a heterosexual with some bi curiosity but I believe it was an adolescent phase because i never acted on it. The homosexual thoughts subsided and didn't return until marijuana was introduced into my life. One night after smoking pot, i masturbated to homosexual pornography. I was high as a kite but i enjoyed the video. This tormented me for days but i was so confused. I didn't know what to think, all my life i was attracted to women and i never would have dreamed of becoming a homosexual. Then all of a sudden i was attracted to men, the thoughts were strongest when i was high. After about as week the thoughts subsided and i felt free. OF course, i didnt stop smoking pot and one night i masturbated to gay porn again. Ever since then the thoughts have been very strong. I understand that i am living in the world and i sin as much as anyone but i cannot let the devil take away Gods blessing and turn me into a homosexual. I am asking for prayer, prayer that will weaken satins grip on my life. I want to go to God but i am having so much trouble. Also, if anyones ever gone through or understand what i am going through can you please give me some helpful advice. I went to my school counselor and all she told me to do was explore these feelings and i know that is not in Gods will and i refuse to do so. Also, if there is any correlation to marijuana and these feelings, can you please explain to me? Thank you so much to anyone who reads my story and I beg you pray for me. God Bless!

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'm struggling with homosexuality too but don't ever feel ashamed to come to God for help. I struggled with that exact same issue, but Hebrews 4:15 states that God understands what we're going through and He understands our weaknesses an is always ready to "help in time of need"(Heb.4:16). Talk to God. He loves you and is gracious and merciful. If you ever wanna talk PM me...
God bless...

Sorry you have such problems in your life. My advice to you is to meditate, think on, God's purpose for sex, which is to conceive a baby. Homosexuality does not fulfill that purpose, and perverts it, makes it something only to gratify carnality. To live your life free from guilt and pain, stop sowing to your flesh, stop smoking pot and masturbating. God wants us to keep our vessels (bodies) in honor, and doing so will save you from a lifetime of pain.
I'll pray for you.

For you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor. 6:20
Tell me is smoking marujana glorifying God in your body?
If the answer is no and it is, then you are giving satan permission to access your body. That being the case, he is free to invade you anyway he wants to.
In your case, it is with homosexual thoughts and actions.
The simple answer then it to give up the marujana. Prayer won't do much for you until you decide to stop rebelling against God's word.

mdipon, From what you have said, it seems pretty clear that marijuana brings on these feelings. It seems pretty clear that you should stop smoking marijuana. After about a year, the same sex attractions will probably diminish. You might have these feelings the rest of your life to some degree, but it sounds like you are not primarily homosexual so your heterosexual feelings can be strengthen after you stop smoking.
