Am i afraid of sex, is it wrong to care about sexual morality to a certain extent?

I'm 35 and i've only been with one other person and that was like five years ago. i'm gay. I've always been very into religion and spirituality. the gay scene is definitely NOT full of people who are. I don't know if it's me that's in the wrong. what makes it worse is that since i am in great shape lots of guys want to be with me. which is good and bad. I am a christian in a united church of christ church. i even have a degree in religion from college. I've always lived my life in a way that i believe it's best to treat others as i want to be treated. I'm not 'against' sex, but i move at such a slow pace when it comes to relationships and i haven't found any other gay men to be like this. Is there something wrong with me? everybody thinks i'm weird

    You may be atypical. I think more people might be accepting of homosexuals and even gay marriage if gays were more concerned with sexual morality. Disease statistics aren't encouraging, though. Neither is the ignorance of where the term "homophobia" came from. Psychology Today reported on that back about 1980 and it was originally a derogatory term thrown at gays who wanted monogamous relationships by those who wanted free sex. I don't think you're afraid of sex but it's reasonable to be cautious of both disease and the emotional consequences of a sexual relationship. That's something that applies equally to gays and straights.

    Why would you think there is anything wrong with you I do not understand.

    We should all question the morality and not just the legality of what we do.

    Much, much better to be moral and just then to simply be legal.

    Everyone struggles with their sexuality.

    Yes, the Bible forbids homosexual acts as it states that a man should not lay beside another man as he would a woman.

    To my knowledge the Bible does not say anything about sexual desires of men towards men - only about the act.

    I am sure that all men have thought about it and have acted in accordance with the morality or in some cases have discarded the morality and have chosen the legality and in other cases have thrown morality and legality away such as in the case of having sex with a minor.

    I think it's just that religion has attached a sense of underlying guilt to sex in your mind. You need to detach them from each other, somehow. Maybe some kind of therapy?

    There's nothing wrong with being modest about sex, but when it's interrupting your life and relationships, then it's a problem which needs to be sorted.

    Remember hat there's nothing wrong with sex. It's just religion that tries to cast that feeling onto people, a guilt which gives them a greater need for faith and god. A bitter cycle.

    Bwa saying your gay and religious is like saying your an asian scottish. Leave religion and find you a good man to be with religions and religious people look down on gays. Even god condemns gays but you are not weird you ared the way you were meant to be so enjoy life and leave religion in the shitter where it belongs

  • Men of all sexual orientations can be quite pushy if we see someone we like. Don't let anyone pressure you to do something you're not comfortable with, but also don't let their pushiness alienate you from your sexuality altogether.

    I think a lot of women would recognize what you're dealing with.

    someone matches your sexual preferences you just have to find him. you're not weird, people have their own ways of going about things in a relationship. if you like it slow then your partner will have to understand that. but i dont think you should connect religion with your problem. it may just be a emotional problem that will take time to fix.

    It is a shame that you have such fear put into yourself. You would be happier to just do what your body is urging you to do.
