Struggling with a certain sexual problem.

[Cherry Blossom Kun]

Over the past few years, I've been struggling with a certain sexual attraction that has really worried me. I've really been upset about it and I'm too upset to post what it is. I feel like I'd have to get everyone's permission, I think, to post it...


My struggle is with bisexual paedophilia. I'm only 16. I'm currently in therapy for depression, and seeing a psychiatrist for medicine.

You don't need to confess your sins to us. If its something that you feel uncomfortable sharing, that is alright. Just know that Jesus will always forgive you of your sins no matter what they are, and that we can be no more slaves to sin because of Jesus.

I think it's brave of you to admit and be getting help.

Praying for you.

I can understand how this would be concerning and upsetting to you but I think it's a bit beyond the limits of the help that we can give here in this forum. I do want to commend you though for being brave, for being honest, and for seeking help from a psychiatrist. I suspect either a psychiatrist or nouthetic counselor may be the best person to talk to about this issue.

Talk to Jesus about it as well. He is the most wonderful counselor you could ever ask for.

Remember that you are still very young yourself, so feeling attracted to young people don't necessary make you worthy of this label "bisexual pedophilia" that you put on your self. It is normal that the attraction change when you grow older, it is normal to feel attracted to both younger and older people no matter what age you are in. And it is normal to be a bit confused about all of it.

From your name I am taking a wild guess that you like Japanese anime and manga cartoons? I know a lot of people like those cartoons. I used to write on a world of warcraft forum earlier, and about everyone had some anime-girl for their profile picture, and I've noticed that in these cartoons there is often very difficult to see the difference between child and adult. The figures seem to be a mix. Like little girls with big, blue, innocent eyes and at the same times the breasts of a adult woman. I watched some of these movies myself earlier, and were confused myself because many of these figures looked pretty to me, but I just felt bad about it, there is something wrong with them and they try to cover it up with that it is just innocent cartoons so that no one can blame those watching them, so I don't watch those anymore. And even if it is a normal hobby for many people, I don't think christians should watch movies like that and specially not if someone already are confused.

You should also try to think about if you don't already got normal feelings about sexuality, cause if you are convinced about this label you have put on yourself, then I can guess it will be hard to see it clearly. God did not create us to be locked into perversions, but to live normal, healthy lifes. There will always be things about our sinful human nature that is against God, but none of these things are things that can rule us if we trust in him. For example earlier in my life, before I became a christian I were really aggressive, if anyone was annoying or bothered me I could imagine killing them in terrible ways, but this don't make me a murderer, it just make me having a sinful nature that I can follow or not follow. If I would follow all my agressions I would become a dangerous person. But I don't need to follow them, cause in Christ I am free and can love people instead. So I hope you see that you too got this freedom and will use it. Don't look behind, but start walking the path that God has made ready for you in life, and trust that he will guide you trough it all.

God bless.

You are very brave. You must be as brave when you talk to the people who help you with your depression. I know it will be hard for you, but you will have to talk to them about your sexual problem. They will no judge you, they will help you. Don't be afraid. You are on the right track and I am sure you will be fine.

It might be OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). you might not have a sexual problem at all, but the fear of having one making you so anxious that you have trouble reading the signals you're getting. Its common for people with OCD to obsess over being gay or a pedophile or something. the compulsiive part is analyzing your responses, checking and re-checking in an attempt to figure out if you really have these attractions or not. if you see a professional about it, mention "pure O OCD'. its called 'Pure O' because the compulskons are mainly mental, the checking etc.
