I'm 18 years old and male, and I've had only gay urges my entire life, while feeling kind of nauseous when thinking about women in the same way.
I'm not stereotypically gay and I've dated girls. All I need to do to be fully straight is to stop having desires for other guys. I have male friends I've crushed on, and all it's done is hurt me. They're not even gay, so even if I wanted to be homosexual, I would not be with them.
I'm in college now, and the gay people seem so weird and seeing two guys together seems so unnatural. I'm just not comfortable with being gay at all.
I like my girlfriend of 2 years and I want to eventually marry her and start a family. I like her a lot, and I just don't like to be touched much or have sex; she's religious and wants to wait until marriage anyway, so she's fine with that.
The only thing getting in the way of the plans I have for my future is the fact that I'm attracted to other guys. I've only acted on these urges once - I made out and cuddled with another guy once when I was drunk. You can't get an STD from that can you? I'm afraid I'll do something else in the future when I'm drunk or whatever and get aids or something and then give it to my girlfriend.
Do these religious groups that claim to cure homosexuality actually work? I'm an atheist, so I've never been to a church except when my sister got married. I thought about going to a psychologist when I was in high school, but I didn't want my parents to know.
Just as a final side note, I don't hate gay people or go against gay marriage or anything like that. I just don't want to be gay or have any part in it myself.
What can be done to get rid of homosexual urges?
Thanks in advance.
