    For the longest time now I've been 99% sure I was gay. I don't notice women like other guys do. I've never fallen in love with or crushed on a girl. Though I have with other men. I do however watch strait or just girl porn. Though I could never imagine myself living my life with a woman. There is almost nothing that doesn't turn me on, given half a chance.

    Now what's kinda unsettling to me is; What if I'm just a sexual deviant? I thought I could identify myself. What if I'm only gay/bi/whatever because it's different and not "normal". You know what I'm saying?

    Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

    I don't believe sexuality ever works that way. You can like or dislike something to be different, but not when it's something like your sexuality.

    Porn is different. You can be turned on by something that you would never do or want in reality, it's not necessarily you imagining that you're there. Sometimes it's just visual.

    That's actually a great point. Now that I think about it, I never really imagine myself into strait encounters; but do so (Sometimes) in a gay encounters.

    It's hard to shake the feeling though. Now that I've thought of it. I'm just some sex crazed maniac getting off on everyone and everything.

    I wouldn't base your sexuality off of porn. I like almost any kind of erotica, and I even preference solo male stuff, but I'm not attracted to guys in that way. Maybe It's the same thing for you. Maybe you just like watching all kind of sexual content, it doesn't make you a deviant.

    If you feel that identifying as gay feels right to you, then that's all that should be proof of your sexuality :slight_smile:

    Dude I don't know how old you are, but you have to know that all males are sex craved maniacs at one point in life (teenage adolescence especially)... with hormones on full rampage, you'll feel like humping anything that moves.
    In regard with being turned on by literally anything, join the club and its no special kinda club either. Its the club of being "MALE".
    I always "IT" (that guy below the belt) has a mind of its own. Don't feel outa place, we are the male species and just like the girls and there many complications, we have a few of our own.

    I believe an admin said this a while back on a similar thread: Sex is sexy. You can be gay and be turned on by straight or lesbian porn. There's still sex, all that changes is who participates in it.

    Haha! I guess you've got a point. I'm 25 now though, you'd think I would've slowed down by now though.

    I never really thought about my sexuality deeply until recently. It use to be like "okay, I like guys, that's fine. Just don't tell anyone because it will destroy your life" So I was fine with the status quo. Now that I started thinking about this stuff. It really bothered me. I never had anyone to talk about this crap before; but you've got a point. "Sex IS Sexy"!

    What I normally recommend in such circumstances (and when said in person, it's sometimes met with blank stares) is to simply try masturbating without watching porn. For a lot of people, particularly many guys under 30, that may be something they've rarely or ever done.

    Here's why it's important: When you're watching porn, it's a powerful stimulus, and it is true that for some, if not many, people, the notion of any two people having sex is arousing.

    When you're masturbating without porn, what you have to go on are the images and fantasies you create in your mind. And you'll find if you just let your mind wander that you'll see where it takes you... whether you think more about guys or girls. You can also try intentionally thinking about just guys, and see how aroused you get, and how intense your orgasm is... and then do the reverse, thinking only about girls. Try to avoid thinking about porn you've watched, and instead imagine yourself in various scenarios, with people you've met or seen and fantasized about.

    Usually doing those exercises makes it a lot clearer, a lot faster, than trying to figure it out with porn because there are too many variables.

    Be prepared that if you're not used to masturbating without porn, it may take you some time to become aroused, and it also may take some time for the fantasies to start flowing. But once they do, it should be pretty easy.
