    Ok so I'm sure what I am which is way I'm on this site. I'm a 16 year old guy and I've liked girls pretty much my whole life without question but lately I think I might like guys too. I. Saw some gay porn about a year ago and I liked it. I. Thought it was weird that I liked it even tho I was straight. So looked into and found hocd which seemed to fit cuz I have ocd like symptoms. One day I said fine I'm bi and sat with it and I was so happy that day until I went to jack off to some bi to make sure this what I was and that feeling died. I didn't feel bi anymore. I also used to sext a female friend and things got pretty close to actually happening but I said I wanted to wait when I really want to do loser virginity with a girl I didn't love. She sent me pics.. And I liked them a lot. I have thought about sucking duck which not I thing straight want to do. I worry I'll say I'm bi now and then be gay later. This is all very confusing and stressful for me and I just need some help. Can anyone give me some?

    I had something really similar happen to me lately. I've wondered on and off if I was bi or gay for a long time, but one day recently I thought "Yes, I am definitely not straight," and I was really happy for a few days. Then I read up on HOCD and since I already knew I have OCD I felt ridiculous for not having realized before that that's what it was.

    That doesn't mean that's what's going on with you though, and I'm not sure what you mean about the symptoms. Maybe you are really bi, or curious. Though I've read here that porn really doesn't have anything to do with your orientation.

    And while it's true some guys say they're bi and later come out as gay some guys really are bi.

    I guess that's not really reassuring, so I'm sorry if I'm not helping. But I think it's good that you don't want to jump to conclusions. I do believe that this will sort itself out and you'll know, even if it's not happening as fast as you would like.

    Hi there.

    Yeah, it's good that you're not jumping to conclusions yet because there's a few possibilities here and it's, well, pretty confusing stuff. I agree that porn isn't a really concrete indicator of sexuality, because when it comes down to it porn is fantasy and people can like fantasies which they wouldn't necessarily want in reality. You don't necessarily have to be attracted to the guys in the porn to enjoy it, there are lots of other reasons why you might like it, so I'll just say be careful with that one. It sure can be an indicator but if it isn't backed up by any real life attractions/crushes I would take it with a big pinch of salt. You can enjoy gay porn and not feel anything for guys in real life.

    Sorry I can't help more, but I'll basically just say take your time with this, don't rush it/get worked up and it should resolve itself. Have a measured approach and don't jump to conclusions and you should be fine.

    Hey I'm gonna have to put this to rest cuz I've already obsessed over this enough and most days I don't even care. I'd like to say thanks and I'm out peace.

    It sounds like you are bisexual at the very least. Just don't ignore it and brush it off because you feel bad about it. It will hit you hard later on in life if you do. You need to discover yourself, give it time. Being bisexual doesn't make you less of a man. Get that idea out of your head if it's what's keeping you from accepting the possibility of it. Anyways, hope you come to a conclusion that makes you happy. You don't have to label yourself anything, I believe everyone has the potential to be bi. Just go with whatever feels right in your heart.

    I'm not hiding from it ok. I have no problem with it it's just not sticking. I have my reasons for leaving and it would be great if a stranger online didn't tell me what to do. Now I'm deleting my account so don't anyone comment here again.

    Heya man. Don't worry about it. I've been going through the same thing and I'm 25. I had plenty of opportunity to score with a woman and although I crushed on them, I didn't love them and I could never sleep with anyone I didn't love. I finally met the woman I now sincerely love but I have caused myself to have these bi thoughts. I'm not bothered by it, it just doesn't resonate with me. I too am going to leave and just give my mind a rest about it. Best of luck no matter what.
