The Sanctity of the Covenant
Question
The Holy One, blessed be He, created in me sexual attraction also toward men. That is, when I touch a man, like hugs and so on, it arouses desire in me. So would that be forbidden for me?
(And are there any other suggestions or halakhic guidelines the Rabbi has to respond with that would be worthwhile for me to know, or just words of encouragement.)
Thank you very much!
Answer
Definitely. Anything that arouses forbidden thoughts is forbidden. I suggest going to a religious psychologist and consulting with him.
thank you!
