Reality: Therapy won’t always be necessary, but since there is so much prejudice against those who experience Genetic Sexual Attraction, someone who is experiencing it might benefit from therapy.
Experiencing GSA is not an indication that anything is wrong with the person experiencing it. GSA is a normal, natural reaction to the circumstances.
Being reunited with, or introduced to, a close genetic relative who hasn’t been in your life can be enough to prompt therapy, depending on the situation. Add GSA, and yes, therapy can be helpful.
The prejudices, stigmas, and taboos involved in GSA situations, internalized by those involved or not, can be enough of a burden to make therapy beneficial.
However, not everyone who experiences GSA needs therapy. Some people who experience GSA continue to function well without having had therapy.
If someone does need therapy, it would be helpful if they weren’t ostracized or criminalized, and could find a therapist familiar with the issues involved. This is one reason we need to bring GSA and consanguinamory out of the shadows.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
What everyone needs to understand is that GSA is normal just like Keith wrote. But what people don't realize is that there really is someone involved here that does need therapy. The fact of the matter folks is that we should not be concerned with what our neighbor does or doesn't do. It doesn't concern us in any way shape or form. If you are confronted by someone who thinks that you need therapy because you are GSA then understand that they suffer from something that is called Obsession. Obsession is a condition that can be treated successfully. And as Keith said it, "If someone does need therapy, it would be helpful if they weren’t ostracized or criminalized, and could find a therapist familiar with the issues involved."
ReplyDeleteSo whenever you are confronted by someone that thinks that you need therapy for being GSA understand that you are normal and that there is nothing wrong with you. Don't let anyone confuse you into thinking that they are normal and that you aren't.
Obsession. It's not just a Perfume!
agreed with you mr. madrid.
