Brief Answer:
It is suggestive of XXXXXXX orientation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it is suggestive of homosexual orientation for you and the other possibility is bisexual orientation.

The presence of male attraction, no interest in girls, preference to watch XXXXXXX porn and associated masturbation is commonly found in XXXXXXX persons. Since you are not comfortable with your own sexual orientation this is labelled as ego dystonic homosexuality which mean there is conflict between your sexual orientation and your preferences.

Unfortunately there is no straight forward way to suppress these kind of thoughts as they occur naturally in many persons. The modern science say that there is nothing wrong in having sexual orientation different from the hetero sexual behavior. Because of this no sincere effort was made to change or suppress such feelings. They also say that trying to change one's sexual orientation leads to psychosexual problem for the concerned person.

Having said this I request you to see a psychiatrist in person who has good knowledge of homosexual issues. If you happen to be from north XXXXXXX you can contact me at XXXXXXX
I assure you that there are some therapies which are quite useful in suppressing such thoughts. This include behavior therapy, psycho dynamic therapy, hormonal therapy to name a few.

I like to assure you that if you are sincerely motivated and make a significant effort, you can overcome them and control your behavior. The comforting news is that as you resolve deeper issues, the compulsions and desires to act out will diminish or disappear and the struggle to control your behavior will be less demanding. As time passes, homosexual behavior will become less and less appealing, until you may have no desire for them at all.

Brief Answer:
all therapies detailed below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back to healthcaremagic.

Regarding feeling of homosexuality there are multiple theories which evolved over period of time but none of them proved.
The meanings of homosexual behavior appear to vary according to time, place, and culture. Biological theories created the notion of a homosexual person in hypothesizing fundamental constitutional differences between those attracted to persons of the same sex and those attracted to persons of the other sex so it can be concluded that there is some neurotransmitter wiring which is different in homosexual leads to homosexual thoughts.

The therapies I mentioned are different kind of treatment approaches used to cure homosexual behavior.
In behavior therapy the methods focus on either just behaviors (watching XXXXXXX porn) or in combination with thoughts and feelings(feeling of sexual attraction to same sex) that might be causing them. Those who practice behavior therapy tend to look more at specific, learned behaviors and how the environment has an impact on those behaviors and try to modify them.

In psychoanalytic therapy we look at how the unconscious mind influences thoughts and behaviors. It frequently involves looking at early childhood experiences in order to discover how these events might have shaped the individual and how they contribute to current actions.

In hormonal therapy the change in hormones of body attempted by giving particular hormones to suppress the homosexual feelings.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Fortunately you are living in a city where all the facilities are available for psycho sexual issues including homosexuality.
In XXXXXXX there is full fledged psychiatry department in the government medical college and I hope they provide various kind of therapy for these issues.
XXXXXXX is more equipped with handling such issues and there is one institute of national importance known as NIMHANS. Other than that you can contact psychiatry department of XXXXXXX medical college or any other private college. I assure you that most of psychiatrists are well versed in this kind of therapy and have ability to help you.

Brief Answer:
Few things you can do at home

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks again for reverting back to me.

There are few techniques you can do at home witth slight guidance of a sex theraapist.
1. Kegel exercise- This is a method to control the pelvic muscles. Once you identify the muscle and the ways of exercise you can do it home. If you are tech savvy you just google kegel exercise and will know how to do it.

2. Squeeze technique- This needs good support from your partner as the maneuver is performed by your partner during love making. It needs proper understanding before doing it.

3. Stop and start technique- do it while having sex. Stop thrusting and pay attention to cuddling, kissing, caressing and other things and start again.

The duration of treatment depends on intensity of anxiety symptoms. Mostly it takes four to six sessions and most of therapist charge 1000 per hour or per session.
Thanks and regards
