I don't know if I'm alone in dealing with such things, but does anyone have any tips with how to deal with physical attraction to members of the same sex? I know it is wrong, and I try to tamp it down & get rid of it, but any advice would be helpful :)

I am a man who used to lust after women a lot. I know it is not the same. With prayer and stopping staring at women and fantasizing about them the problem went away pretty fast. Now I can look at a woman without lusting after them, but still I don't stare. Perhaps with same sex attraction it is similar.

If you are watching any pornography at all, you need to stop immediately. 9 times out of 10 that is the core of the problem with any sins of lust in today's age. From personal experience, once I was able to cut that out (by the grace of God), the rest of my problems with lust began to dissipate over time.

I can't speak for same-sex attraction, but, as the above poster said, you just have to tackle this like any other serious problem with lust: prayer and custody of the eyes. Anytime you start getting perverse thoughts, pray and find something else to distract your mind. Don't dwell on it or act on it, just do what you can to respond to God's grace to fight it. Just take it day by day, you're going to fall and stumble, but the key is to get back up through prayer.

Remember, don't lose hope. You're not at all alone in this fight, you have the literal God of gods and Lord of lords looking over you with a hand extended to help, along with legions upon legions of angels and saints. I'll pray for you, friend.

How would you describe your relationship with your father?

Don't know anything about it, but I do know one thing, that one troll can come on this αnσnymσus forum and answer his own questions and make a mockery of Cathinfo.
