Hey there Hank...
Just remember that what took years to do (get conditioned to feel perverted for such activity) won't be undone overnight.
Trust me, I know. Even though I totally accepted it as being okay for friends of mine to be gay, I couldn't face it in myself until I worked through the first two decades of my life being conditioned (as a Catholic) to believe the only end result was hellfire and damnation. I haven't been Christian, let alone Catholic, in years, but believe me, it's not something you can just shed in the blink of an eye.
Listen to your soul. What does that tell you? In spite of what they teach, your very essence, your soul, knows the right of things. Don't confuse that with the anxiety pounded into you by misguided religious teachings.
