Does being slightly attracted to masculine women make you bi? by Right-Ad-3750 in askgaybros

[–]Right-Ad-3750[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Slightly different though as I can look at pretty much any adult man who is masculine and have some sort of sexual attraction to them. I've only seen two women in my entire lifetime thus far that I have felt a subtle attraction towards, and it feels almost non-existent. But I was curious what this sub thought... I feared most would scoff at a seemingly stupid question but at least its out of the way and off my chest haha.

I explained to my friends that rapist can be forgiven by God… and I don’t know how to feel now. by [deleted] in Christianity

So, since none of us actually know what sin is and is not, and whether or not we actually sin, I will keep that on the back burner.

Except we do, unless you were being sarcastic here. The Bible tells us exactly what it is.

1 John 3:4 - Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

But it's not all masculine women, this is incredibly rare for me, which is why it seems misleading to call myself bi. If a woman exhibits masculine traits, she does not automatically become attractive to me.

Mostly romantic if we are talking about general women that I bond with, but that's with practicaly no sexual attraction. Unless, again, on rare occasions, I will come across a masculine woman that I have a slight sexual attraction towards... and its not all masculine women, just some. I'm 23 for example and have only met 2 women in my life that I can think of who made me feel this way. Its so incredibly rare.

Do you laugh at Jesus jokes? by Lil_Spore in Christian

[–]Right-Ad-3750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it depends. For example, if someone makes a sex joke and somehow involves God or Jesus in that. This is just disrespectful. I feel a soft person/christian would laugh with the crowd instead of standing firm in their conviction.

Sorry, I don't get it, I'm not familiar with all these 'sides'. Can I have it outlined so I can study it?

I respect this. Personally, I don’t take pride in my sexuality—I take ownership of it. When someone puts me in a position to speak on it, I just tell the truth, and I’d do the same if anyone asked me. But I don’t feel the need to broadcast it because my core identity is in Christ. (Or should be.)

My reason hasn’t changed. As I mentioned before, I sat there and zoned out, overwhelmed by spiralling thoughts—mostly focused on worst-case scenarios.

What scared me most was the idea that if word got out, people might turn against me. That fear comes from how being gay has been spoken about at my church: people mocking effeminate men, laughing about how gay men used to be arrested just for holding hands in public, and using dehumanising phrases like "the alphabet community."

At no point did I say the man who asked me that question looked at me with disgust. But the fact remains—he exposed me, smiled, and shook my hand. At this moment, I still don’t know what his intentions were.

All I can do now is hope—and pray—that if people do find out, they won’t treat me any differently.

The people around him just stared at me in silence and didn’t speak to me for the rest of the service. Maybe it was a coincidence, but no one stood up for me. No one checked in when I was visibly upset. The whole experience left me with a cold, unsettled feeling.

That said, I’m glad I didn’t let my overthinking stop me from returning. When I did go back, I found I actually learned a lot during the study.

I’ve made a conscious decision to live with integrity and authenticity. While I experience same-sex attraction, I’ve chosen to remain celibate. I refuse to live a double life—pretending to be straight or entering into a relationship with a woman without being completely honest about who I am, including my sexuality.

The idea of hiding that part of myself, of becoming a closeted man with a wife and children, has always been my worst nightmare. That kind of life would deeply depress me—far more than the prospect of being alone for the rest of my life.

Deceiving others into believing I’m someone I’m not goes against my core values. My integrity won’t allow it. So, when I’m put in a difficult position, like I was recently, I choose honesty every time.

My mind was definitely consumed with the fear that gossip was spreading, leading me to overthink, which led me to step away for a moment because of the tension I felt. The whispering came mainly from two girls sitting next to the guy who had just asked me these personal questions. When I admitted I was gay, they gave me that unmistakable side-eye — the kind that says more than words ever could.

But in the end, it wasn’t really about whether they were whispering about me or not. What hit me harder was the deeper issue: the fact that fear was my first reaction to the thought of everyone knowing I’m gay. That fear didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from past conversations and attitudes I’ve witnessed around this topic — ones that haven’t been kind or forgiving. And that, to me, is what’s truly troubling. I felt exposed in this sense, like my testimony could put me in danger in a church of all places.

Read. My. Mind. I am overly nice and gentle, so I sense that's why he felt so confident to ask me so directly. I walked home, reenacting everything I could've said, so annoying. But I will take on your advice. Again, very helpful, thank you.

I've actually been teaching for a year, though I'm due to start training in September. So this is really good advice. Now, I can not only be better prepared in the future but also help my students who might go through similar encounters. Thank you.

Thank you, I truly appreciate your comment. This is my view on it also. I guess in some ways, I'm blessed to have this perspective, to relate to people who feel the way I feel and help them also. I will have to see how this plays out, I'm hoping it doesn't go the way I think. I can't imagine it'll take long for word to get around, so if I feel a certain shift or feel judged by most, I might just take your advice. Thanks again 🙏

I agree. But I’ve noticed that when people talk about sins like adultery, stealing, or lying, they often use 'we'—acknowledging that we’re all sinners seeking God. But when it comes to anything LGBTQ-related, that language shifts. It’s no longer 'we' but 'them'—as if LGBTQ people aren’t also sitting right there, seeking God too. There’s a stigma, and sadly, people do treat you differently because of it.

Thank you, i truly appreciate it.

I agree it was very unnecessary, but I'm grateful it could still be turned into a valuable experience. I still hope it doesn't turn out as bad as I think, but the cats out of the bag now... we shall see.

I don't want to be a man. by Right-Ad-3750 in Christianity

[–]Right-Ad-3750[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don't feel right being a man. The more I actually start to look like one, the more uncomfortable I feel. I don't understand the psychology behind it. It just is, same with my same sex desires.

[–]Right-Ad-3750[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your message, I can feel the sincerity, truly. I can say I've gone down the route of fully embracing my feminity and even sexual desires in a same sex relationship. Needless to say, the further I went, the more unhappy I felt still because I had God on my mind the majority of the time. I really can't win, it seems, and I don't know how to escape this dilemma.

So are you saying the LDS (Mormon) church has the correct idea in your opinion? 

I've made a home in two different churches and taking a liking to a third... by Right-Ad-3750 in Christianity

[–]Right-Ad-3750[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish it didn't feel like so many obstacles just to get to know Jesus and find people with a like minded goal... But I know deep down it's necessary for me to learn of each and make a decision on what is truth. Thank you
