Some Tormented by Homosexuality Look to a Controversial Therapy

I am "tormented" by my attraction to women other than my wife, but my religion and morality keep me from acting on these strong impulses.

It could be the fact that your wife knows how to handle a .45 has a little to do with your discretion.

It could be the fact that your wife knows how to handle a .45 has a little to do with your discretion. I was thinking it could be the courts as well because they don't let cheating husbands off too easily. Cheating wifes get off eaier then cheating husbands. (Pun intended).

Or it's his love for his wife that keeps him from cheating...I know most men don't want to admit to that, but in most cases it plays some sort of role in the decision.

Ah, the "Closet of Jesus" approach. Good luck to him, but if all of his previous praying didn't have any effect what makes him think that this round will?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

In other words, environment was the culprit.

Well, I think a sin nature was the culprit first. Environment only selected which sin was chosen. Unfortunately, homosexuality is a sin that destroys both the heart of the individual and the fiber of the whole of society. It's a trojan horse to both the individual and society. But it is a total lie to say it is always because of a sexual desire. It often isn't, particularly with women.

Here's the end result of liberal stupidity and the nature vs. nurture debate. Suppose there WAS a gay gene. Should doctors then turn it off, because (as liberals are fond of saying) nobody would "choose" to be gay.

The real irony is that a person who wants to change his/her sex through drastic surgery gets lots of help from therapists, support groups, doctors, and so on. A person who wants to change his sexual behavior is treated as a pariah.

I'm not sure if sexual orientation can be changed. But behavior can be, and those who wish to try should certainly have that option.

The Truth About the Homosexual Rights Movement (Caution, graphic contents)

That is one of the most powerful articles I have ever read... Poor guy, but what an insight. Strongly recommended - BTTT.

The homosexual agenda teaches that all "bi-curious" men and women are really homosexual with no doubt about it.

[Porterville]

Tormented by homosexuality? Seriously? What is that, your butt hurts? How stupid.

Your puritanical attitudes keep you from engaging the sexual partners you desire. < /s >

The Sex Positive agenda seeks to end all moral judgements over sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).
