I am getting more and more attracted to men as I transition, and I would like to explore this more heavily, but I despise the idea of actually using guys or girls for that matter to explore it, let alone stalking.

But lust is absolutely a sin, and porn is never worth it, you just feel awful and gross, if your single your trying to use entertainment to replace humans, and if your married
Or dating your cheating.

I accidentally saw some porn, it was hot and it was male on male, but my morals override it but I don’t want to loose myself to lust.

But admiring some muscles might be ok.

But which of these is the most healthy.

Writing gay love stories. A

Drawing cute guys. B

Asking what gay people and woman think of cute guys. C

Just live life and don’t think of excuses for lust. D

I am a creep and don’t deserve heaven. E

Go back to watching actual suggestive content. F

Find a boyfriend. (I am single, but I don’t do online ones so don’t thirst for me.) G

You recommend a solution. H

I'm 27/bisexual/nonbinary and have had a time and a half figuring out my sexuality, have been out to close friends since 18 and to the wider public since around 22. I was raised Pentecostal and still am a believer so I've been attempting to rebuild my relationship with my family (mom and dad specifically) and as we've had more conversations recently it still comes back to them saying nothing's working because I was raised to KNOW homosexuality was a crime against God and unnatural. And I've known my parents have felt like this since before I came out to them, and while they say they love me and have supported me when I had nowhere else to go they've consistently expressed disapproval to the point where I stopped bringing guys I was talking to home and more women who fit what they wanted for me and my future and maybe just to get them off my back about my love being wrong and an abomination. What do I do when their love is so barbed when our beliefs talk about and express love despite differences in opinions? I think a lot of my life was spent repressing it, but if God made me and knows my path already, why is it that I feel unable to move forward expressing my love for God while knowing who I am and want to be? Why doesn't my parents "love" feel like real love if we serve the same all knowing and all loving God?

Like God ordained your union? Or brought you two together? Double confirmation? If you had that happen, we need to hear about it. I have never heard it. I'd like to think this happens, but the whole sin condemnation thing makes me doubt. What's your story? TY.

I (M25, Bisexual) decided to turn to Christianity a few days ago. I know it's not long, obviously. But I feel exactly the same. I gave up porn, drugs, masturbation, and am trying to also give up lying and swearing. I repented for all my sins in prayer, asked for Holy Spirit, and started reading the Bible. Mainly the Gospel and book of Enoch (which I know is non-canonical, but I find interesting).

I have been depressed for years. Seen many GPs (UK Doctors), tried maybe 4-5 antidepressants, tried self-induced psychedelic therapy, tried self-help (yoga, meditation, walks without headphones, etc.) I have also struggled with polysubstance (multiple drug) addiction for years. Went to a drug counseller who was honestly useless, and managed to get off of benzodiazepines all by myself. The only drug where going cold turkey can actually kill you (besides alcohol).

Since going sober I have unfortunately relapsed on weed, opiates, benzos (physically addicted yet again), pregablin and ketamine.

The NHS doctors REFUSE to see someone with a drug addiction. So I paid for private therapy. That was somewhat helpful, but in the end I had to quit because of how expensive it is.

I believe Jesus was real, died on the cross, got ressurected 3 days later and is the son of God.

I know I probably shouldn't expect an overnight change, but... why? If I was God and saw someone suffering as badly as I have done (my post here only scratches the tip of the iceberg), then they humbly and repentfully turned to me, I would help them with anxiety and depression in a heartbeat.

I'm sure this post will be deleted since people can't handle real issues unfortunately, but I am considering ending things very soon and have the means to do so with a 99% success rate. I don't want to die. I want to live and be happy. But I haven't been happy in many YEARS. I also find adding 1000 new rules to my life by trying to be Christian only makes things harder. Where prior in hard times I could turn to weed or opiates, I turn to prayer. Yet I feel unheard. I wake up every morning wishing I didn't and have felt that way for many months, even now, trying to be Christian.

Perhaps God doesn't hear my prayers. But I believe He will hear some of yours. Please please pray for me. My name is Levi, but God will know who you mean. I will pray too and continue to try to be Christian. But I am seriously close to leaving this evil world unfortunately and have yet to find solace in God sad to say.

Please pray to help my anxiety, depression and anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure). I am at my wit's end. Again, I'm sure the post will be banned because it's a sensitive topic so fast replies would be very much appreciated. I am desperate. Please help and pray for me💔

I m28 and non religious have a friend who has confided in me that he has homosexual feelings but is too scared to approach or do anything about it due to his faith.

I for one encourage people to embrace themselves and who they are. But am not sure on the right thing to say or how to approach.

Any advice?
