How can one rectify intention and completely get rid of feelings of sexual attraction towards boys, knowing that major actions leading to sodomy have been abandoned, and only the feeling of loving them for their beauty remains, along with some distinctive behaviors when interacting with them, and is marriage the only solution for this condition?
Praise be to Allah for repentance and seeking guidance. Beware of Satan who may cast doubts on repentance or tempt with minor sins. You must be wary of Satan's insidious approaches and ask Allah for protection. You may still have remnants of love for young, beardless men, and its cure is to sever ties with them and with those who associate with them, knowing that forsaking them is out of love for Allah the Almighty.
