"When I feel good about my body, my sexual attraction for that guy is not there." "Feeling my own sense of masculinity feels a lot better than sex with guys." "When I'm connected to myself and other guys, all my issues go away."

Homosexual feelings are not the problem.
Gay porn is not the problem.
Addictions are not the problem.
Trauma is the problem...the gateway.
Child abuse is the gateway.
Molestation is the gateway.
Neglect is the gateway.
Sexual issues are almost always the symptom, (not the cause) of bigger issues. And this stems from a childhood filled with trauma, (yes even in sincere religious families), emotionally absent parents, a negative family system, and abusive or disconnected peer group experiences.
Good Faith Estimate of Costs Law:
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (888) 288-2071.
