Involuntary Responses

I

Your eyes catch hold of something or someone, or a thought suddenly comes into your mind, seemingly out of nowhere, and you feel your body start to respond sexually. Immediately your heart and mind start to flail around, thrusting the old familiar feelings of guilt and shame and hopelessness at you. Here I go again. Will I ever change? What’s the use of even trying? Does this sound familiar? Many...

When is Recovery Over?

W

Several years ago a healing conference was being held in a nearby state, and most of the Regeneration staff planned to attend.

And addressing these areas would take more time and energy than I had initially planned to give...

Emotional Longing in Men

E

We have long recognized that the homosexual drive is not, at its root, sexual. The drive gains its direction and power from certain things inside a person, in many cases unmet needs or fears. Not always, but most often, in men it is an unmet need or a deficit, and in women, it is a fear. This article will deal solely with male homosexuality because I am going to discuss an unmet need that comes...
