Being attracted to males

· 23 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am 20+ in age. I am a male and sexually attracted to looking at and touching a penis often time if am given the opportunity. When I am discussing with male (not all males), after each discussion, I always notice I have released semen (often time deliberately and at times not deliberate). I hate to become a gay. I have tried to stop having this kind of attraction. All to no avail. Please assist me on what to do.

Answer

It is advisable that you see an experienced shaikh living near you. For the time being take care of your eyes. Don't look at any person that will create lust, and think of death in the mornings and evenings and the fact that it can strike at any time.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
