Is it possible for someone to become gay overnight?

I think you already know the answer.

 

It's not possible to become gay overnight. Sexuality is not a set of light switches, you can't flip one off and flip another on.
I agree with the previous poster in that, you may already have your answer.

 

For me, my sexuality is kind of... erratic. Sometimes I like girls, other times, nothing. My preferances usually last a week or two, usually switching between completely gay to about a two on the kinsey scale. I've heard that for some people it can change as quickly from day to day, while others are stable for months at a time.

 

I find that many Bisexual people will go through stages of "liking" different sexes at different times

I consider myself gay,
And yet,
As a younger teen,
And sometimes now,
I will have sudden bursts of attraction to some females,
Or I'll be more "perceptive" of scenarios involving a woman.

Though at the end of the say I am "gay" as I see myself with a man in the end,
And 90% of my attractions are to men!(So I could be "Bi" but changing my label would be counterproductive)

Anyways,
In the end,
I think you're most likely Bi,
And recently have been more perceptive to your male attractions,
Unless you "fooled" yourself into thinking you were straight beofre!

So good luck!
But seriously,
Don't stress,
It's only sexuality

 

Well... Okay. Lets get some perspective.

I assume you're below 20, above 15, got the hormones a-racin'. You state you have been watching porn and the "normal" stuff doesn't do it anymore. Your Handle is Straight LA Boy, another indication of your below 20 status. You are from LA, california I assume, this means you are in one of the more accepting and permissive states in the US. I'm not getting your nationality out of this. I'm thinking you have at least one parent, maybe divorced. First crush was in middle school. I think that means 6th grade or so.

Now, was your crush when you first hit puberty? If so, it could simply be that you are reacting to what you would like to be yourself. For a long time there I really liked straight porn, but mostly because I wanted to look like the woman.

Don't answer, but think back a bit. Check out some of your childhood pictures. 1-2 years old. Anything strange? Perhaps you had blond curly hair and now you have straight black hair. This happens a bit, especially with males who are 3rd in birth order or later. Did you have a long pregnancy? 9+ months? These are WEAK indicators that something may have been disrupted when you were younger.

Straight porn usually has guys in it. Someone is banging that chick. Hate to say it, might have gotten a little bit confused about your reinforcement there. While you can't make someone straight or gay, you can influence preferences. It's possible to become attracted to say… chewing on shoes. So you masterbate to pictures of Men with Erections and Women in the same picture. You got a developing brain there. As we speak old neurons are being pruned away and others being reinforced. It's easy to get a little confused about things.

Don't Answer, just think.

You say you think about gay porn now. Okay. Try this. Look at straight porn. Imagine yourself one or the other. Are you the guy banging the girl? or are you the girl getting banged? Look at the gay porn. Are you the guy getting banged, or the guy banging a guy? Which one appeals to you more?

Is it more because the gay porn is DIRTY? "It's so shameful, isn't it? Oh, if anyone knew, they'd all hate me. I'm such an evil little boy, Oh…" That's a stronger indication that you are simply developing a fetish for gay porn, then actually gay.

Do you want to be the one in the "female" role? That might mean you are gay, or it might mean you simply don't feel strong. That something is going on in your life and you want someone to take care of you. Possible gay, possible issue.

If you like the idea of finding some guy, pinning him down, and screwing him, Congrats! Yer a top and yer most likely gay. Find a therapist and talk to him at once. Not that there is anything wrong with you, but most gays who are tops that I knew had a tendency to get… strange. Mostly because they didn't have a good social support structure. You are young so lets nip those hangups in the bud right now. No shoe chewing if we can avoid it.

Advice:
1. Talk to someone you trust. Most likely a paid professional. Advice from the internet is usually horribly wrong.
2. If you do choose to explore being gay, don't limit yourself to only two options. I'm gay as a mexican hatband, but I'm also married to a wonderful woman and it works for me. Bisexual is an option as well.
3. I assume you are getting the porn from the internet. In my day, 15 yr olds got gay porn mostly from 40 yr old perverts. If you are in some sort of relationship with anyone, especially anyone more then a year or two older then you, TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL. Personal experience, kid. Don't let that hard-on lead you to make some life choices you'll regret.
4. What you are sexually attracted to is difficult to pin down at your age, but what's also important is your emotional connection. After the sex, do you want to run away? Or do you want to just snuggle? Are you having problems finding ANYONE to show you love and attention? Do you feel that anyone male or female would be good enough for you, just as long as someone loves you?
4a. If you are desperate to be Loved, TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL. People like that are the ones predators seek out. Those who would do anything just to feel accepted.


Are you gay? Anyone who says they can tell you that from a single paragraph post is full of crap. What you are is hurting. So I'm going to tell you this:

I get it.
I understand.
It's okay.
It'll work out.
Trust me, it gets better.

Much better.

 

I'm going through a similar predicament, your post was great thank you.
