Homosexual Paraphilias

Up until the mid 1980’s the psychiatrist’s manual on mental disorders[1] classified homosexuality as a “mental disorder” and homosexuality was “treated” by a variety of methods – none of which achieved the desired effect... turning the patient towards more “conventional” sexual drives.

In Romans 1, the Bible says that towards the end-time, God will give people up to “a reprobate mind” and they will “do those things which are not convenient” (KJV).

In modern times, due primarily to political pressure from “gay” activist groups, the American Psychiatric Association has deleted homosexuality from the DSM, and being “gay” today, is accepted as an “alternate lifestyle”. If being homosexual is an “alternate” anything, then it implies that there is a choice involved. Many “gay” people will tell you that they were “born gay”, and the politically-correct media and the “scientific” communities will support their assertions with examples of “gay penguins”,[2] and other animals found to be exhibiting what is purported to be homosexual behavior.

The truth of the matter is, that homosexuality in some cases, is an aberration – it can be an acquired computational malfunction that is inflicted upon a person unwittingly – sometimes at such a young age, that the person actually comes to believe that he or she was “born like this”, because as long as they can remember, they had been attracted to members of their own sex, and/or repulsed by members of the opposite sex.

Often, the “gay” person, early in life, becomes curious about a particular behavior, possibly by being exposed to it – such as via pornography, sexual innuendos on TV shows, explicit parades of aberrant behavior on Jerry Springer, et al., or by being sexually abused. Exposure to sexual innuendos on TV, in my opinion, is more damaging than exposure to pornography, because the former causes a curiosity that cannot be satisfied for lack of data. A child so exposed, will develop an insatiable desire to satisfy that curiosity, which quickly turns into infatuation, and then into obsession. He or she begins to imagine themselves as “gay”, and moral support of their delusions by friends, family, the psychiatry profession, the media, and even some “Christian” churches, together with (reluctant) acceptance by the society, transforms this relatively easy to erase aberration, into a life-long self-fulfilling prophesy.

The preachers that interpret God’s Word tell us that homosexuality is a rejection of the Creator’s intention, and that sex should be confined between a married man and woman. In their eyes sex is perverse in any other context or setting – but some of the preachers who are so adamant against homosexuality, are themselves “gay” on the down-low. God rained down fireballs of sulfur on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, because their entire society had flung the sanctified use of sex between human beings in God’s face… NOT because they were homosexual and wanted to “know” the (male) angels who were guests in Lot’s house.

The question here is not so much “is homosexuality a sin”, because God’s Word cannot be more crystal clear than it is, if you read it properly. The questions I wish to raise here are, “is attraction between two men or two women abnormal, and if so, how does a person acquire this aberration”? Moreover, what if anything, can someone do to mitigate or even entirely erase this behavior from his or her life? Those questions are not easily answered. They are not easily answered because there are numerous vectors by which this behavior is acquired – and make no mistake, it IS an acquired behavior; the acquisition of which CAN BE post-conceptual and pre-natal in many cases.... so the validity of the statement by some homosexuals that they were “born this way”, is not a lie per se’ – it is an apparency.[3]

This author is of the opinion that in an indeterminate number of cases, homosexuality is an unwittingly acquired behavior that overwrites the natural sexual programming of an individual. It stands to reason, then, that the acquisition of that aberration can be rejected by the person, once he or she discovers the reason for his/her behavior. Seldom, if ever these days, does one hear of someone seeking “treatment” for homosexuality. Even if such help were sought, there is little if anything a “shrink” could do for such a patient, except relieve him or her of the burden of carrying all that money around in their wallet (or purse).

How then, does one approach the issue of helping someone who realizes he or she is attracted to the “wrong sex”, and is seeking to become heterosexual? There is no codified[4] method in psychology to deal with any sexual paraphilia; besides, psychiatry no longer recognizes homosexuality as a disorder, and a “shrink” is likely to try to convince the person that “This is the way you were born, so you have to accept it”. Believe it or not, that is the current nosology.[5] This society is in deep trouble, because it is firmly in the hands of The Merchants of Chaos.

However, there IS good news for some. If the disaffection[6] is caught early enough in a person’s life – in early adulthood at least – homosexuality and all manner of true sexual paraphilias respond remarkably well to Dianetics, particularly when it is coupled with traditional Christian spiritual counseling. You can learn more about sexual paraphilias and treatment methodologies by reading my book “The Sexual Paraphilias – Therapy by Hick-Farmer Sigmund Freud Wannabes”.[7]

Traditionally, a minister is obligated under oath not to discuss any case or confession of sin from a parishioner or penitent with anyone. This is called “Minister / Penitent Confidentiality”. U.S. courts have consistently protected this right of secrecy between a parishioner and the clergy. There is no such protection against disclosure by a psychiatrist or psychologist – even though they will do everything in their power to lead a person to believe that their personal problems are kept confidential. The law compels such a person to disclose certain things to the authorities, and so a person who is aberrated in this manner, has no avenue by which to address his or her problem, until the aberration is so well-integrated into their behavior that it becomes all but intractable.

A pastoral counseling session is a simple procedure. The person seeking assistance is assured of complete secrecy between him and his / her counselor. The counselor acts only as an ear to listen. He makes no judgments, and dos not question the validity of what is disclosed. The counselor does not make any assumptions, or add any “hypothesized cues” to the client’s colloquy in the sessions.

In point of fact, the paraphilia of homosexuality is, as most of these behaviors are, usually due to an early-life trauma, or to what Dianetics calls an “Ally Computation”. Many people who claim to be homosexual are in reality, not truly “gay”; what has happened is that their sexual appetite is jus different than the “tastes” of most people. Having no other socially acceptable sexual niche to fall into, they unwittingly accept the “fact” that they are homosexual. You ARE what you BELIEVE you are. Very simple.

Once the propensity for the behavior is acted upon (an initial sexual experience) without the benefit of prior counseling, the condition may degenerate into a non-specific chronic promiscuity, because the person does not, in early adolescence or young adulthood put love into the sexual equation. The latter is clearly the case with a majority of gays. Some will have sex with multiple partners, but cannot form emotional bonds with any particular partner because the relationship is secretly believed to be unnatural. These men and women seek emotional and / or spiritual fulfillment from a physical act. When that fulfillment is not forthcoming, the behavior escalates into more intense forms; the frequency of the behavior increases, and the person may use alcohol or drugs to dull the emotional pain.

The sexual behavior which a person engages in without the requisite of true caring for one’s partner then becomes connected with the drug abuse / addiction, and the two become inextricable. The relationship is compromised by the aberrated partner seeking emotional gratification by a physical (sexual) relationship with another person. The net effect is that the sexual behavior becomes promiscuous for promiscuity’s sake, and just as addictive as the drugs or alcohol, and the other partner – if he or she is not similarly afflicted – suffers emotionally and spiritually as a result.

The fact that a person CAN choose the behaviors he or she engages in, is one key to the effective treatment of a sexual paraphilia. Guided properly, a person can be relieved of the aberrations that he or she does not wish to carry. I have personally had good results with this methodology, over many years, occasionally counseling cases of sexual abuse, violence, Post-Traumatic Stress, and Survivor Guilt. Because psychotherapy is totally ineffective in such cases, a person can be “in treatment” forever, and have absolutely no relief from his / her affliction.

The most difficult case I ever had to counsel was a Vietnam vet who I call “Sox”, who suffered from PTSD and survivor’s guilt. He was free of his emotional burden after approximately 68 hours of counseling by this author. Prior to that, he had been in weekly 2-hour sessions with a shrink for almost 30 years. I devoted a chapter to him[8] in my book on Vietnam titled: “Land Of Childhood’s Fears”.[9]

As a minister, I have a moral obligation to expose the truth, when a lie that is believed could do so much harm. Anyone who is aberrated by a paraphilia, is harmed mentally, physically, and spiritually. Obviously, one man cannot counsel the multitudes that need counseling; he cannot assist those who have become so comfortable with their affliction, that they don’t WANT any assistance. Those will, as Romans chapter 1 says, continue in their reprobate minds, to cause their bodies to “do that which is not convenient”.

However, there are those who are troubled by their lifestyle, and would do something to change it, if only they knew how. The more they struggle, it seems, the more difficult it becomes to get at that “thing” that drives them. Those are the ones who can be helped by pastoral counseling.

As an aside here, these types of problems are never made better by “group counseling” or “rap sessions”. Group therapy and “rap groups” were dreamed-up by some Hick-Farmer Sigmund Freud Wannabe somewhere, in order to multiply his therapy fees. Any counseling of such a personal and delicate nature has to be done one-on-one, in person, in private, and in complete and total confidentiality, or it is worse than useless.

Now don’t go thinking that I am making myself out to be an “authority”; I’m doing no such thing. Counseling for paraphilias is not my profession, but I’ve done it when I had to, and done it only when my initial consultation indicated that there would be a swift resolution of the case. I simply do not have the time to spend on such pursuits. However, I will try to assist those that seek my counsel – no matter what the problem is. If I can’t help, then I’ll try to put the person in touch with someone who can. My recompense is that it is my “reasonable service” to the community.

Trauma cases are emotionally draining because they require the counselor to be empathetic (not merely sympathetic). Most sexual paraphilias are trauma cases in disguise. Resolve the trauma, and you erase the sexual aberration. By helping to resolve “long-forgotten” (non-sexual) trauma in several young people, their sexual issues were also resolved. Often, it is not even necessary to discuss sex in-session, other than to be informed that the person you’re counseling is having a problem in that area of his / her life. Counseling in any case; sexually-related or not, is not the “rocket science” that the shrinks with the Ph.D.s would have you believe. They would like for it to be rocket science so they can claim exclusive “expertise” and charge astronomical counseling fees.

All it takes to be an effective counselor is the ability to be a compassionate friend. No “emotionally detached” psychoanalyst can effectively help you. You’re better off spending that money on a vacation to the Bahamas or Hawaii... you’ll get tanned instead of burned.

I posted this article here for the benefit of those who are looking for answers to difficult questions. I am NOT advertising my “services”, but I will speak with you if you are having difficulty, or if you just want to ask questions – If I can’t help you, I can refer you to some competent people who are not shrinks, and who you can trust implicitly and completely.

Human Attraction
© Copyright 2006 – David Todeschini – All Rights Reserved

This article was inspired by a young man I recently met, and my reaction to his colloquy with me that raised some questions by the mere fact that he mentioned something that was out of the context of what the communication was primarily about. After carefully considering what the young man wrote to me (which is privileged, sacrosanct, and personal), I’m going to raise some OLD questions – questions that have been on the mind of men ever since Man was created. Some of you may have thought that I would slip and say something like “… have been on the mind of men for millions of years…” – or something implying (Darwinian) evolution. However, that Freudian slip will never cross my lips (or this screen) because only a FOOL believes that Man “evolved”. The Bible says in the Psalms, “Only a FOOL says in his heart, ‘There is no God’”. In Hebrew, the word “fool” is a very strong word, indeed. If the shoe fits….

What I am NOT trying to do here is solve any “mysteries”. I don’t have any special insight other than what I have learned from minds much wiser than my own. I am writing this article NOT to answer any questions, because those who have some spiritual discernment know the answers in their heart. No, what I am trying to do here is to keep the OLD questions on the minds of young people, particularly – because young people need to know the answers ‘in their heart’ before they become hardened and jaded like some of their parents – and like most of the world. It is unfortunate that I cannot with a few words, impart to the reader what cannot be SAID or WRITTEN… “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom”. The word “fear” is mistranslated in most Bibles – the word in Hebrew is “awe”. Don’t worry if you don’t believe in God. We have a book for you.[10] And you can go to Hell without believing it exists.

The topic here is simply human attraction; that quality in another person – or the drive that is within ourselves – which compels us to be attracted to each other – emotionally, spiritually, and yes, sexually. The field of psychology, which is in its entirety, pure unmitigated quackery, has been struggling in vain to answer the question of human sexuality ever since Sigmund Freud molested his patients on his famous “couch”, and the sexually depraved “Masters and Johnson” conducted their orgies sub nom[11] under the guise of “studies” in the 1960s – “studies” which are nothing more than “medically-sanctioned prostitution”[12] that continue in a different form to this day. To Freud everything was sexually-motivated.… and it makes one wonder about his motives and secret fantasies. Ever since Freud and his ilk, the world – and especially this country – has been a cauldron of sexual sickness and depravity that rivals the Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah. What do I mean by “sexual sickness”? – Simply this – Sexual sickness in human beings is a compulsion to engage in sexual behavior without an emotional – or more precisely, spiritual motivation to do so. This sickness is a conditioned malady. It is brought about by the inner-core belief that another person – male or female – is an ‘object’; an ‘object’ to be used for self-gratification and discarded when the use for it has worn thin. It is a malady that defines one’s masculinity or femininity by the ability to seduce a partner, or worse – to obtain a sense of power or superiority by victimizing someone who is powerless to resist. This is psychology – or rather, it is the RESULT of the BELIEF in psychology.

When Lot offered his daughter to the crowd in Sodom who wanted to “know” the angels who were visiting him in his house, Lot was NOT trying to offer a female to a bunch of lust-crazed homosexuals – as most preachers in their ignorance of deeper truths would imply from the authority of their bully-pulpits. Sodom was destroyed NOT for its homosexuality, but for its wanton disregard for the PURPOSE of human sexuality. Lot was powerless to persuade the crowd otherwise – all the men of the city wanted to rape the two (male) angels (who we assume) were handsome beings and physically attractive.

The use of sex to commit VIOLENCE against fellow human beings was the thing under the condemnation of fiery balls of sulfur raining down from the sky, but you won’t hear that sermon being preached anywhere but here – I guarantee it – but it is the truth. I don’t believe that the God I love and worship would allow a human being to be born with the body of a MALE and the sexual desires of a FEMALE – or vice-versa; it goes against all reason and logic, and the Bible says that “God is not the author of confusion”. So if you believe that so-called “homosexuals” are “confused” – whether by their childhood upbringing or by a traumatic event – then it is NOT God’s doing – either that or you can’t trust what the Bible says. Take your pick. People interpret things using their own biases and experiences. We have been conditioned by the “professionals” in the field of psychology to believe that everything outside of “normal”[13] sexual relations between a man and a woman is a “paraphilia”. I’ve been on this planet long enough to tell you that this is a LIE, and I wrote a book about it[14] to expose that lie. The “profession” has long-since backed off this position in their official literature, but the core beliefs of this unscientific profession of QuackMeisters[15] remain as entrenched as they ever were.

Before I continue here, I have come to a ‘dog’ I must kick as I segue past…. The word “psychology” is a misnomer; it is a Non-Sequituer.[16] The word is composed of two Greek roots: Psyche – meaning “soul”, and Ologia – meaning “knowledge”. Psychology then is “knowledge of the soul” – and if you know the TRUTH about psychiatry and psychology, you know that the basic tenet of psychology is that Man is an (“evolved”) animal, that has developed sentience – and nothing more. “Man is an animal; there is no soul”, is the core tenet of the psychology profession, and we have the empirical evidence to prove it.[17] Read it and be informed.

I am not going to PRETEND to answer the age-old questions. All I know is that MOST people in this world have been conditioned to be “attracted” to certain types of people…. That’s why you see really (physically) GORGEOUS young women in the arms of really (physically) REVOLTING old men…. And verse-visa (sic). That’s why there are same-sex couples who, if it weren’t for the scorn and contempt of a sick and aberrated society, would feel perfectly comfortable in their relationship. The body is not all there is – and you can’t TELL me that “the (ugly) guy must have a great personality”, since how would the (gorgeous) woman know this if she didn’t at least get into a conversation with him? Why are two men or two women attracted to each other, even though (they tell us) “it’s against nature”? If I could PROVE the answer to that question, I’d blast Sigmund Freud off the high pedestal the professional psychobabble-bullshit artists have put him on for the last 100 years…. But here is what I DO know of the answer:

Physical attraction seems to be a complex process ONLY because we refuse to accept the obvious answer – which is like a 900-pound gorilla sitting in the room with a Klingon cloaking device. There IS a SOUL. The FACT that there IS a soul was MATHEMATICALLY PROVEN in the early 1950s by L. Ron Hubbard. You don’t have to believe in God, because there is nothing you will accept (except perhaps a burning bush or two) as PROOF that He exists. However, the MATH doesn’t lie. Your ‘brain’ – the physical organ in your head that weighs about 5 pounds and consumes 3 watts of electricity – your brain – more powerful than a battery of Cray™ X-MP/120s in push-pull / parallel – is merely a ‘switchboard’ with a “T-1” connection if you will – to the REAL “you” – which your soul, your spirit, your Thetan,[18] or whatever you wish to call it. It is not your brain (or your sexual organs) that are compelling you to make contact with that handsome man or pretty woman (or vice-versa / inverse-versa); it is your SOUL that creates the connection. Anything within that context is proper and “normal”, no matter what genders are involved in the ‘connection’, and no matter what any “professional” or high-on-his-horse of righteousness preacher[19] tells you. PERIOD.

According to psychology, there are “sexual paraphilias”.[20] I agree – with the caveat that MOST of those “other loves” are entirely within the scope of what should be considered “normal” for human beings. The only TRUE paraphilia is the one that drives a person to sexual intimacy without the emotional intimacy that must necessarily precede it, or a gratification that consists of the abuse of another’s body or disregard for another’s feelings. A true paraphilia is that behavior that is addicted to the “brain chemicals” – the endorphins, etc. that are the built-in “reward” for the sexual behavior. You have a TRUE paraphilia if you please yourself by the physical, emotional, or sexual abuse of your partner. In effect, a person harboring this aberration is, in reality, using a partner’s body as an aid to masturbation; the emotions, feelings, and “love” is nothing more than an apparency.[21] In this sort of relationship, one might as well masturbate in private – at least your heart won’t be broken if you ever tire of doing it.

The TRUE test of a paraphilia is the inability to be emotionally satisfied in a relationship. One who has to “cheat” on a mate is one who is driven by something other than what should give him / her the greatest pleasure of all – the knowledge that they are pleasing to their partner, and genuinely care for them OUTSIDE of the sexual context of the relationship. That, unfortunately for our society, has become the exception rather than the rule. When the sex becomes routine and the body of the partner becomes as familiar as one’s own, the attraction diminishes and subsides, and then the relationship crumbles. The truth of the matter is that there was never a true relationship to begin with; either one or both partners were not entirely honest with the other – and in reality, what existed was either the abuse of one by the other, or a tacit agreement for mutual masturbation.

The quackery of psychology always looks for “a reason” for behavior that is “outside the norm”. That “reason” more often than not, will amount to something in the person’s “environment” or “early childhood” that (for example) “caused” them to be attracted to men instead of to women – or vice-versa. Try as they will, they have no answers. They have no answers, so they formulate a hypothesis that really doesn’t pass the test of a scientific methodology, and so it is, for all practical purposes, a LIE. Allow me to impart to you something by which to test for verity, what is presented to you as though it were established fact:

“The workability of a postulate is established by the degree to which it explains existing phenomena [which is] already known; by the degree that it predicts new phenomena which when looked for, will be found to exist, and by the degree that it does not require that phenomena which do not exist in fact, be called into existence for its explanation.” [22] - Scientology Logic #19

Put all that you see and hear through that test, and little of what is accepted as “fact” in the psychology profession emerges unscathed. My postulate – that there IS a soul – and that TRUE attraction between human beings occurs on a level BEYOND what can be codified in some quack’s textbook (DSM-IV)[23] is proven by the application of reasoning to the facts. The “mind” as most have come to think of it, has little if anything to do with why people are attracted to each other. “Shrinks” – who I prefer to call “Hick-Farmer Sigmund Freud Wannabes” – will postulate for example, that a boy who grew up without a father in the house, as a young man became attracted to men and grew up homosexual because all he had as an example of how to behave was his mother. Question: Why then, aren’t 60% of black men homosexual? Statistics show that 60% of black boys never knew who their father was – or that the father left before they were born. I’m waiting for the answer…. Well, duhhhh! It doesn’t take brain surgery to figure that out.

The TRUTH is that all human relationships – whether they involve sexual intimacy or not, and whether they are same-sex relationships or not – are “normal”…. They are “normal” by the mere definition of the fact that they occur with other than anomalous frequency. Some would have us all believe that homosexuality is ABNORMAL – and to tell you the truth, for most people who are “homosexual” in the traditional sense – it IS “abnormal”, but only because it is not understood by virtue of the fact that people tend to “cubby-hole” themselves, and a great majority of them, believing the psychobabble, and having to endure society’s suppressed disgust, are insecure, or are put into positions where they have to conduct their love-life like a Jew hiding from the Gestapo. That is why I wrote “The Homosexual Paraphilia”.[24]

It is true that environment and upbringing has an effect on the outcome of one’s life, but the postulate fails to explain the reason that identical conditions do not have at least similar effects on everybody who has these things in common. Dianetics counseling can repair the damage done by childhood traumas – but we are NOT talking about trauma-induced sexual aberrations here. The answer to a person’s “sexual preference” seems to be that there are many other factors, and the fact that these factors have not been discovered leads one to the logical conclusion that nobody is looking for the answers where the answers truly are (well, duhhhh!)…. If they did, there would be no need for me to write this, and life would really be boring.☺

Allow me to make a broad statement here – EVERYBODY has had what this society would deem “an un-natural attraction” to another person. If anyone tells you that the thought of what it would be like to be sexually intimate with a same-sex partner never crossed their mind, allow me to make another broad statement: THEY ARE LIARS – this author included. The truth of the matter is that sexual attractions are as unpredictable as the Mega-Millions lottery. The truth of the matter is that PURE sexual attraction is the purview of the animal world, of which Mankind is NOT a part…. And even SOME animals mate for life. However, if we believe ourselves to be “evolved animals”, then the behavior naturally follows the belief. As long as two people truly care for each other and love each other, there is no such thing as a “paraphilia” in the conventional sense.

The Greeks had four separate words for “love”: “Agápē”, “Érōs”, “Philía”, and “Storgē” Whatever else may be said about the Greeks, there is no confusion among them about whether they “love” a chocolate bar, or whether they want to “make love” to you. You wouldn’t érōs a steak dinner at Peter Luger’s unless you are a really sick puppy.☺

Érōs - (ἔρως érōs): is romantic love (in ancient Greek, sexual desire, passion).

Philía - (φιλία philía): is "Platonic", non-sexual (in ancient Greek, friendship).

Agápē - (ἀγάπη agápē): is Divine, unconditional, undeserved love. God’s love for mankind is Agápē Love.

Storgē - (στοργή storgē) is natural affection between human beings or for an inanimate object or food, etc.

Agápē {pronounced “Ahh-gaah-pay”} which means “undeserved, other-centered love” is otherwise known as “puppy love”, or “innocent love”, and in this case the amoré felt for the object of one’s affection is also agape – or “wide open”; you can be deeply emotionally hurt. Agápē is the love of the heart that doesn’t need a physical or sexual component to be completely satisfying. This type of love gives all, and never seeks to be selfish. It is the love of angels and young children. Agápē love comes rarely, and only once in a lifetime between human beings, and once it is lost, it is gone forever; you can never feel this way about another human being ever again – with RARE exception.

Érōs is sexual love. It is desire driven purely by lust. Eros is, in “normal” cases – hetero, homo, or bi-sexual – accompanied by at least one of the other three; if not, it is a paraphilia and a TRUE aberration. Much effort has gone into the exploration of what it is exactly that we human beings are. King David said it best in the Psalms when he wrote, “I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made”. That being true on many levels, it is a Non-Sequituer[25] that the Creator of such a creature as Man would err in His design or His creation. You are who God made you to be. You love “Agápē”, “Érōs”, “Philía”, or “Storgē whom you will. Is homosexuality the sin we make it to be? Only YOU can answer that question with your intentions and your behavior toward your partner. The question should be are you abusing your lover? Are you violent, hurtful, sadistic, selfish or dishonest? THOSE are the sins worthy of fireballs from Heaven.

It seems to me that for all the things that happen in the privacy of the bedroom between two consenting adults being railed against as being worthy of the fires of eternal damnation, that more of the things that happen out in the open and broadcast on the NEWS every day – such as WAR, and State-sponsored terrorism[26] and things we give our tacit consent to and call by another name to make it seem as if it is less of an abomination than it truly is – such as the infanticide called “abortion”[27] and “women’s health care” – should at LEAST be equally disdained from the pulpits of America…. All I hear – with notable exceptions – is SILENCE!
