Body disphormia and Homosexuality
Hello All,
I was just wondering if theres any link to not being happy with your body and liking other males for their gorgeos bodies?
Of course I question my sexuality at the same time. I am a 33yo male :)

Hey. So nice to see you around here. You pose a great question that seems to really be affecting you, and I imagine is quite personal and affecting to you. I am also sure that you aren't alone in this. It's not far fetched to see how having a negative body self-image and dislike for parts of one own body might link to seeing other bodies as attractive. Its kind of on the premise of wishing for what you dont have that happens across so many lines. Its also understandable that you would question your sexuality with this experince, not sure if its sexual attraction or something else. That can be quite challenging to discern. Sometimes takes a while and be frustrating, but we are here for you along the journey. Im glad you are exploring and trying to understand yourself better.
I feel this everyday, I see beautiful men everyday. Then I look at my self.. I compare. So many time I've been told that I look fine. It's so hard to believe and i dont know why i cant be content. I must be delusional
Yes indeed, I can understand it's a journey you have to take yourself. Take some time to understand yourself better and ask why do you feel this way? Are you really affected by what people think of your body? Why are you not happy with your body? You could also change your perspective - those men with amazing bodies might also be going through mental issues - they could be insecure themselves too - hence perhaps cover up theur insecurities with working out more - sure they physical appearance may improve - but what about their emotional being? Have they healed themselves?
Hope this helps :)
Love & Light

Thank you for your words. They are so comforting. I have been stuck in my negative thought patterns and you just opened the door to my path to understand my pains better. I will have to sit and contemplate on my negative patterns and turn it around to heal my wounds within me. I love you :)
