I know watching porn is wrong for a guy so young, although I'm not going to continue watching porn, but I don't care about all of the wrong (well I do, just that's not the focus of this thread), I just want to ask. I'm confused. I think I might be bi. When I watch straight and gay porn, they both arouse me. However, gay porn just gives a little more oomph. I've also never had a crush, although I do fantasize with being with men/women, though mostly men. Again, I know it's wrong, and I'm stopping, but I just wanted to ask. Thanks.
Well, chances are that if you fantasize about men and women that you're probably bisexual. Plenty of bisexual people have some sort of gender preference, so you can be bisexual but prefer men over women or visa versa.
I found an article under the resource section that may help, and I'll post it in the bottom of the post. Many bisexuals lean one way or the other, are you familiar with the Kinsey scale? Well, and number 1, you would be completely heterosexual. And at 6, completely homosexual. And then 2-5 are different "types" of bisexuals. Here is a link for the Kinsey Scale: Google Image Result for http://s3.hubimg.com/u/216730_f520.jpg And here is the article on Bisexuals:Empty Closets - Bisexuality Q&A Discovering you're sexuality is usually a process, and isn't really anything to be rushed into. Take your time and I guarantee answers will come!
Thank you for you and everyone's help (even though it's only two people :lol I feel like a 4. But maybe I should wait until I have an actual crush. :icon_redf Oh well, I'm kind of impatient, but I'll have to live with it.
It's not wrong to look at porn as long as you're not addicted to it and as long as it doesn't affect your life. As for your sexuality, that has been addressed by other members. You'll eventually figure it out--it's all a part of a process. c:
Meh, I don't look it up every night, just like as a special treat. But I'm thinking of stopping anyways. And I'm not in the later teens (Later Teens: 16+).
Porn is a 4 letter word . Actually there are many varying types/styles and I personally think there's nothing wrong with it if it's showing consenting adults acting in a way that's respectful of each other and themselves (especially for the solo stuff lol). Of course depending on your views (and your family's etc) porn may not be acceptable for various reasons, cultural, religious or other. I think the worse "side effect" is not realizing/forgetting the actors are usually not your every day person, in size/looks/etc - this can lead to self-esteem issues, and unrealistic expectations of others.
Pornography is not bad unless it leads you on to acts of violence and "depravity" which cause harm to you or others. I think most people look at porn and "stopping it" won't affect the way you turn out. Shame about your sexuality WILL affect you, though. It will damage your self-esteem and it's beginning to have that effect already because you seem to think you are doing something wrong and need to apologize. You seem to be suggesting you're under sixteen. To be frank, if you HADN'T started questioning yet, I would be worried. Don't rush into putting a label on yourself yet - gay, straight, bi - they're only names and you will be attracted to different people for their personalities as well as their gender. Just grow up accepting and non-judgemental - of yourself and others Good luck!
I'm fine with being gay/bi/straight/whatever, just not porn. It's because I once asked my parents about it a month ago and they said no. THAT'S why I'm stopping, because my parents. But once I'm 18, *zips down pants*.
I didn't start questioning until I was sixteen... Hello! What you described sounds like bisexuality, you'll learn for sure as you get older. Don't worry too much about labels. They're handy, but you like who you like and it's all fine and good. You don't have to watch porn to figure out your sexuality, it just comes naturally as you develop crushes on people. Generally speaking, there's nothing wrong with watching porn. Just as long as you're not addicted to it. Then you might have a problem. As I take it people usually start very young, regardless of what they're parents say or think. I understand if you don't want to though, I always did what my parents said unlike most people. Just know that porn is not the same thing as orientation. Some people believe it's wrong to watch porn, it is a choice to watch porn. Orientation is a natural part of you, in which you have no choice. Like the color of your eyes or hair. Or that you like strawberry ice cream and not chocolate. Or you like both. Two very different things, so while it is a choice in whether or not you watch porn, there is never anything arguably wrong with being anything other than heterosexual. There is never anything wrong with the orientation you were born with, or grew into. It is not a choice.
Thanks. But you know how what happens with teenage hormones. Labels are ever so important. I'll try to forget them though/wait until I have a crush. Again, thanks everyone for their advice. ---------- Post added 25th Jul 2012 at 02:09 PM ---------- LOL, you guys are making me want to watch porn again. Maybe I will... for now, I'll just use my imagination.
