I am 44 year old male. At the age of 12, I saw a movie in which there was a 2 minutes clip of a man, sexually abusing a little boy. This was stuck so hard in my mind that even today I couldn't get rid of it. Whenever I saw a young handsome boy, I feel like sexually abusing him. Am I gay? How shall I come out of this trauma. please advise.
