Is extreme sexual attraction to beautiful young men, reaching the point of desiring foreplay and kissing leading to masturbation without a desire for sodomy, considered a sexual perversion? What is its cause? Is it a precursor to seeking sodomy? Is there a hormonal imbalance that drives this desire? How can one get rid of this desire, strengthen the inclination towards the female sex, and move away from the inclination towards young men?
Looking at young men with lust and a desire for immorality is forbidden and a sexual perversion. It can lead to sodomy, which is unanimously prohibited. Among the ways to get rid of this act are: feeling Allah's constant watch, contemplating the texts of revelation and the conditions of the afterlife, marriage, voluntary fasting, avoiding mixing with effeminate young men, maintaining congregational prayers, and sitting with people of knowledge. It is also advised to consult specialists regarding hormonal imbalances.
