I am deeply tormented and disturbed by constant lustful advances from other men. Men do and say things as I pass them by and then there are voices in my head constantly speaking about other men is sexually explicit ways. To top that off, I am in the midst of a huge sexually identity struggle too so all of this isn't helping.
A few weeks ago, I came to the conclusion with my pastor that this is a curse and he prayed to break it is still strongly at work and I despairing because of it.[/QUOTE]
There's a theory I have that some people just give off a highly sexualised 'charge'. It's not something that's definable by any means. I actually believe it's from our evolution as a species, that we tend to gravitate for some unknown reason, towards others we can procreate or are compatible with.
I've known and cared for many people who said to me they have known since they were very young that they were gay. Some I've believed and some I haven't - sometimes I think it's an excuse to shock others, or just to be different to rock the boat or for fame status - who knows.
When you are young too, life can get very confusing.
I would suggest for a start getting some bloods done, just to see if there is anything amiss. You might have an imbalance in your hormones, you never know.
Also, forgive me for asking this, but do you encourage men in a way they might see as sexual? Sometimes we aren't aware of how we act. I always remember that we need to 'guard our hearts' (Prov 4:23, NIV), & I am careful now not to even touch a man say just on his arm, as men can get the wrong idea. Sometimes we may be seen as flirting, and attract unwanted attention, though that may not be our intention.
You could also make a formal complaint re these men if you are able to, and this can be seen as harrassment. I certainly wouldn't be letting them do this to me - I'd be onto it by contacting the police myself.
My prayer for you:
Our loving Father, please help Jason to repel the advances of these sleazy men, and to work through his issues with his pastor. Please give him the courage & strength to survive this distressing time in his life. Amen.
