What is Same Sex Attraction?


For those who are confused or have questions, this is a good start at finding solutions on how to face the issue head on and find ways to dissolve same sex attraction.


We found great definitions from professionals at samesexattraction.org. They have laid out what is a clear understanding of the topic.

Same-sex attraction includes erotic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors directed toward the same gender. A person who experiences same-sex attraction may experience emotional and sexual feelings or attractions, and may or may not engage in sexual behavior. Same-sex attraction cannot be identified simply by the presence or absence of outward sexual behavior.

So, as you can see, same sex attraction has nothing to do with having sex per se but an attraction to the same sex. There are feelings and emotions that are attached to the attraction to the same gender but sexual behavior has not be established or explored.


Here's more info on the subject:

Emotional and social interests in individuals of the same gender are healthy as long as they are not excessive and do not develop a sexual or erotic dimension. When same-gender interests become extreme and are eroticized, they become same-sex attraction (also known as same-gender attraction or homosexuality).

Same sex attraction can be a good and healthy thing when one desires to be close to individuals of the same gender; as long as it does not cross any boundaries of an excessive and unhealthy attraction. We all need healthy relationships with members of the same gender because we communicate better socially with them and ourselves.

Here's more:

Same-sex attraction is an intense interest in others of the same gender. This interest may include desires for their attention, friendship, intimacy, or a fascination with their bodies and other gender traits. It may also include erotic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors directed toward the same gender.

A person who experiences same-sex attraction may experience one or more of the following:

• Intense attractions toward people of the same gender. (These feelings may or may not be sexual or erotic.)
• Intense emotional involvement with people of the same gender.
• Sexual behavior. (The presence or absence of homosexual behavior does not determine whether someone experiences same-sex attraction–it cannot be identified simply by the presence or absence of outward sexual behavior.)

Same Sex Attraction can cross boundaries from seeking attention and friendship to what becomes homosexual feelings. This can lead into the physical act of homosexuality as one may seek a sexual attachment to the same sex and sexual activity.
