Good afternoon!
Today in the Russian-language topic at Cyril we again studied this question.
Https://mostovskiy.com/forum/threads/obschie-voprosy.823/page-41#post-157117
One of the members of the forum still has homosexual thoughts and desires. The abbreviation, the short name of this - " ГС" = "gs", "g\homosexual" he often uses ..
But - he does not consider himself gay, although even now he fantasizes about naked guys, or masturbation with guys.
He really has regularities - when and after what he has, such tendencies increase. In his personal theme, you can see the different sides of this person.
I had patients, "false homosexuals". When a young person has a thought "what if I'm gay?" And she becomes obsessive.
Such a person (very often) tries to "try" sex with a girl (without love, without desire!), And it turns out badly. He is convinced that he is gay, homosexual, and goes to a gay club where he gradually finds his place in life ..
And then, already when I seek help from a specialist doctor, he tells me that in his childhood he had other thoughts and desires, but all was named after some event. Sometimes - this event occurs and in enough adult age.
This, by the way, answers Kirill's question about neuroplasticity ..
