I think someone should fund research into the causes of homosexuality and ways of preventing it from occurring.

Hi, They do have a book that teaches parents how to prevent homosexuality, that I got at a Courage conference.

Our trials make us stronger.

In the Middle Ages affection and love between men was looked upon positively, why is it bad now?

I think those who “change” from homosexual to heterosexual are simply bisexual or going through a phase.

This was my case. For a while, I was convinced that I was a lesbian or bisexual. I even had a girlfriend. But then, to be honest, I “grew” out of it and became much more attracted to men. I still do feel attracted to women sometimes, but it just didn’t feel right for me, being in that sort of relationship, it felt kind of wrong.

Maybe I was “cured”, not sure by what though. Or, not. Fact is, there are people who are homosexual and cannot change. Suggesting that it can be “cured” or “changed” is going down a dangerous route, studies show that attempting to do so can leave them with mental health problems. For me, I just learnt that I didn’t like being in a same-sex relationship, even though I still find some women attractive.

So I think the stories you do hear about people with SSA being changed are more to do with them being in a phase or being bisexual.

It is ok and normal to be “attracted” to people of the same sex as you. It’s just that sometimes when we are going through puberty we “eroticize” that attraction. There are a lot of factors involved. It is not so simple as genes or being created that way. I recommend going to the NARTH website to find more information about this. I don’t know their website off the top of my head but I’m sure if you Google it, that will be the first thing that pops up. The founder of NARTH has been on Catholic Answers Live several times.

And for those of us who are attracted to our own gender by our heart and mind, but not the groin?

That is perfecly normal. There is nothing wrong with loving a member of your own sex. The problem is when you engage in erotic sexual activities with them.

How about holding hands, hugging, kissing, and cuddling?

Of course they were disordered then as they are now, when did anyone suggest otherwise
:hmmm:
warpspeedpetey said:
The normative term for that is “friends”

Holding hands, hugging, kissing and cuddling is just friends?

If they aren’t sexual in nature they aren’t homosexual. If they are then that would be disordered wouldn’t it?

So I’m asexual then?

You seem to be.
A long as it isn’t sexual in nature. Women do it all the time. Other cultures as well.

Absolutely not,

It’s not, and how about for men?

I have no sexual in interests in females, likewise with males, therefore I’m asexual? I’m still attracted to males even though I’m not interested in sex with them.

Then what point are you trying to make by mentioning it?

If it isn’t sexual, it isn’t homosexual. Men an many cultures kiss for a greeting, hold hands, etc. They don’t see it as homosexual in nature.

Maybe you are called to the single life? I don’t know. You are a sexual creature no matter what. No human being is “asexual”. But we are all called to be chaste. Sexuality exist for the purpose of making a man and a woman one flesh. And honestly, I think God created it because if sex didn’t feel good, we probably would’ve all gone extinct a long time ago. I consider this a proof that God has a real good sense of humor, honestly.

That love between men was viewed positively? I’ve read some of the familiar letters written in England and damn are they passionate, the amount of intimacy expressed was rather incredible. Some of their emotions are far stronger for each other than married couples feel today, in the case of Sir William Neville the death of his companion (Sir John Clanvowe) literally sapped him of the will to live.

I’m not talking about a peck on the cheek, there is no passion in that.

It’s a valid question, since I am neither sexually attracted to males or females am I asexual?

Then what is it called when you have no sexual attraction?
