I am afraid "sexual recovery groups" would harm me psychologically. I might be wrong, but my understanding is that they would teach me that my orientation is bad, sick, and dangerous, that I can't be trusted, that I must stay away from children--basically, that I am defective as a human. This does not contribute to a healthy self-concept or an ability to form healthy relationships. What would be the purpose of such a group? To stop me from molesting? I never started. To change my orientation? For many of us (maybe most), that is impossible. To prevent me from molesting? I might join if straight and gay men who have never raped are expected to join groups to prevent them from raping. Mark |
