    Hi everyone I'm 16 and I have a big problem here's the thing I can't stop myslef from mastrubating to gay porn I really don't what to do anyome I've tried many many times stopping myself from doing it but then everytime I fall and I do it again. 2 years ago I succeeded to not do it for 3 months time when I didn't thought at all about masturbating or to obscene gay stuff but then one day I don't why probably the biggest mistake of my life I did it again and ever since I lost control. I try every week not doing it and then in the weekend I feel this huge urge to masturbate and to watch gay porn again,no matter what I do how I try to distract myself from,it's alaways there in the corner of my mind and then somehow I resist to not to it I'm fine troughout the whole week and then in the weekend it comes back again and again and again and that's how it's like since ages.Here's the thing with me or at least how I see it there is the time when I'm fine I'm "clean" let's say I'm "straight" and then in the weekend when I have this huge urge I become "gay" (as I said it's a way of saying) and all I can think of is masturbating and gay stuff and then I do it and after that it just simply fades away and I become "straight" again..I know it's absurd but here's the problem not that I would have anything against gay people but I am really afraid of being gay and even though when I have the urge all I can think of is gay porn for example when I'm walking on the street and I see a guy and I think of having sex with him or kissing him it pretty much disgusts me so I could never imagine myself being in love or being in a relationship with a guy..
    And I'll be honest in the last few years I haven't wacthed straight porn AT ALL and because for all this years all I've known is gay stuff and porn it accumalted there in my mind and now I can barely erect when I see a naked women,it's like an infection.
    Sometimes I try to test myself when I masturbate to gay porn and I think of women instead of men and I can't say that I don't like it or that it's not turning me on..then again when I'm in the "straight" fase during the week when I try to stay sober and clean I've tried once to see if I am attracted to men or if I erect by looking at a pic and it didn't happend but then I looked at a picture with a woman and it didn't happend at that either..
    I want to be married I want to have kids I like girls a lot I even had a girlfriend once and they are the only one's that I can think of being a love and building a family with but this thing just is just crazy anymore I sometimes think I'm helpless I have no idea what to do.
    I know it's wrong I know that I should stop but somehow I can't sometimes I even wonder how can I be like this.. and I just can't talk about this to anyone because it's the most embarrassing and dirty thing and the ground would crack beneath me if I would have to tell this.
    Please try to help and try to not make fun it's not fake I know it's really absurd and confusing and it's a lot to deal with but I just really want a normal life I've been dealing with this thing since so long,it's in my life for since ages but I really want to escape and I want a normal balanced healthy life. I'm not hypocrite I am a good student I have a loving family I have friends but I'm just lost..

    Have you tried seeking help to a specialist who knows more about this behavior of yours and manage them?. I know once you tried it you'll get hooked with it and then it became a habit what worse is that you can't change it so easily. Have you tried avoiding all the things that will lead you to think such things?? like turning off your computer so you can't watch any porn, turn on your safety precaution on your PC so you won't be able to see nasty videos or make yourself be really busy that you lose track of time. Don't let yourself be alone at home cause most of the time your thoughts will get back to that, do this for full 3 months then if you succeed do another 3 months until you get used not to think about it. It just a habit once you manage that then you can control yourself much better. Try your best to do anything just to divert your attention and don't give in so easily with your emotions/urge. If you can do it in 2 months like you said then there's no reason you can't do it again this time. If between those days of rehabilitating yourself the thoughts will creep in then think of this: "I've been gone this far I won't let a single thought would ruin that for me." Help yourself cause if you don't no one can help you.

    Hey mate. :slight_smile:

    Brace for impact, because this is going to be a long reply! :eusa_danc

    Porn/Masturbation Habits
    You and I are at a special age. A special age where our sex drives are geared to 'OVERLOAD', and our hormones are raging. It's 150% normal to be:
    1) Masturbating frequently. I sometimes do it twice a day.
    2) Exploring the different types of porn available to you. Honestly, I bet that's how a lot of people catch on to the idea that they might not be just straight.

    You say that you think watching porn/masturbating is a 'dirty' thing. Do you have religious beliefs that disapprove of masturbation, or do you just not like the idea of it? Explain.


    Feeling Gay on the Weekends
    Honestly, I think your sexuality is something that you definitely should explore more.
    This may not be something that you want to hear, but from the feelings/experiences you've described, I think you're gay and probably haven't come to terms with it yourself. Don't worry - these are absolutely normal feelings. You're not an outcast from the tens of thousands of other teenagers who went through the same thing you are going through.

    However, that doesn't mean that you should ignore the natural feelings that you're having. If you continue to try to ignore them, things will become more confusing, you'll feel more helpless, and things could get ugly.
    Take this chance while you're still young to EXPLORE the possibilities of your personality.
    There is absolutely, 100% no shame in exploring your own self.


    Rejecting the Idea of a Gay Future
    This is another one of those feelings that comes with not accepting yourself.

    You've been raised your entire life believing that you'll be dating a woman, proposing to a woman, marrying a woman, and growing old with a woman. It's not going to be an instantaneous, easy change if you suddenly start thinking about the idea of doing all of that with a man instead.
    Your mind isn't a simple thing. It's not a light switch that switches from "Women" to "Men." There are a lot of deep-rooted feelings that come with the idea of heterosexuality, and when those feeling start to be infringed upon, you're bound to feel a bit distressed.

    If, and when you accept your sexuality in the future, you will most likely be able to accept the idea of relationships with men.
    I was like you when I was 15. I could not imagine a life with a man at all. I desperately wanted to be with a woman, and just have sex with men.
    All of that changed when I met my boyfriend. When you meet someone that you love so, so dearly, you realize that you can probably handle living the rest of your life with someone of their sex. :wink:

    ---

    You can't run from your feelings. No matter how hard you want a 'normal', healthy life, that's not going to happen if you ignore your feelings, because that will make you unhealthy.
    Also - Let's just go ahead and throw the bullshit card on the hetero-normal lifestyle crap.
    Us gay folks definitely have normal lives, and if you turn out to be gay, you too will have a normal life.
    There is NOTHING more normal than being human.


    So, to wrap up this post (yes, there will most likely be many more from me on this thread):
    • Don't think masturbation is gross. It is a normal, healthy thing. Do it frequently. It helps to relieve stress and it tames your hormonal instincts for a bit.
    •*Let EC help you explore your sexuality. Keep on talking to us. It will help you lead a healthy life.

    Eagerly awaiting your reply. (*hug*)

    Thank you so much for your explanation it feels really great to have some support and understandment around me :slight_smile: and now to answer your question : "Do you have religious beliefs that disapprove of masturbation, or do you just not like the idea of it? Explain" I don't have any problems with religious beliefs and even though I know that masturbation is a normal thing and pretty much everyone does it,I(myself) don't really like or agree with the idea of me masturbating to gay porn and beacuse I've been doing it for so long I got really used to it gay porn it's pretty much all I know,maybe that's why I'm feeling this huge urge it's like a "job" I have to do and then I'm fine and as I said if I go out I never look at guys in that way ok sure sometimes I notice if a guy has idk cool hairstyle or a nice piece vestimentaire but if I think of going into "deeper things" the idea doesn't attract me it's life like a "viral" thing I feel the urge in that moment trough "viral" and after that it just dissappears,I know I might be in a big denial but this is just how I feel.That's why I said that I would like to be "normal" because if I take a look around my group of friends I'm pretty sure if they masturbate they masturbate to straight porn not that I would have anything against gay people as I said or that I would think they're not normal they're humans and everybody deserves to be treated equally.Probably my problem is with the gay pornography I want to be "healthy" in a way of not masturbating to that kind anymore..and honestly I would like to have a life with nothing "obscene" in it if you know what I mean because the last years were so full of it that well at least now I don't want any of it anymore..but thank you again for you great answer I can hardly wait for you reply :slight_smile:

    Heya - Sorry for the long time with no reply. I slept most of the day away and then had classes! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    So there are NO men or women that you can look at and find comfortably think about having sex with? No models?

    And okay - I understand where you're coming from regarding gay pornography. That's an interesting point of view, but I understand.

    Just saying, if you are having these urges I recommend you explore it better. But, you really shouldn't treat being gay as if it's not normal, because that is probably why you feel disgusted when you imagine being with a guy. Just because others may think it bad doesn't mean it is. So before you explore your sexuality more I recommend you figure out why exactly a relationship disgusts you so much.
