    Hi Fusion,
    Sorry this post is really long, I just started writing and found I couldn't stop. I could have written 10 time as much if I'm honest lol. I've tried to be brief and summarise so apologies if this doesn't read as well as it might.

    Age 23, reasonably good looking, popular, decent job etc
    Aways been interested in girls but I'm a 23 yo virgin
    Watched straight porn for years
    Started watching more extreme porn
    Would fantasise about being in the females position
    Never really watched gay porn (a couple of times in my life) although about 5% of my porn viewing over the last couple of years has been transexual.
    Discovered unlimited online resources regarding pornography addiction, described my situation perfectly and I've spent the past two years 'battling' porn addiction.
    (For those not familiar - there is a theory that internet pornograhy addicition can lead to erectile dysfunction. It Can be cured by abstaining from porn and masturbation. Unusual/extreme porn tastes develop over time due to a never ending need for more excitement. I could explain about porn addiction for hours but I'm trying to keep it short)

    A couple of months ago I had an ephipheny and in the space of about 30 seconds decided I was definitely gay. Freaked the hell out. Denied it for a couple of weeks. Slowly came to terms with it but now a few months on and I've no idea what I am. No idea!

    Ive always watched straaight porn. I only ever (and constantly) notice females not males in real life. Don't find the male form to be very attractive. Cannot imagine being intimate with a man but can imagine having sex with a man. To get to the point, I am very attracted to penis' and very little else about men. When it comes to women, im attracted to the female figure but on several occasions I have attempted one night stands and failed to even get, let alone maintain an erection once I was in bed with her. This first happened age 17 and has happened about 8 times since.

    Aout 2 years ago I returned from a lads holiday, having had failed sex with a women yet again and I believe I was very close to having the same ephiphany I had recently, I then discovered porn addiction and my whole focus has been on the addiction. Only now at the age of 23 have I though about the possibility of being gay. Which is crazy when I think of the thoughts I've had over the years whilst masturbating but away from porn my thougts have always seemed to be entirely hetorosexual. I've always generally been 'one of the lads' and somewhat the opposite of the stereotypical homosexual (fully aware that being homosexual doesn't guarantee a single stereotypical personality trait).

    Perhaps I'm gay but my environment has led me to fail to even consider the possibility. Crazy internet pornography has morphed my views on sexuality. More extreme porn has satisfied me whilst maintaining the illusion that I'm straight whilst real hetrosexual sex doesn't satisfy me.....because I'm gay.
    Yet females are genuinly far far more attractive to me.
    The more I think aout it the more transexuals seem to be exactly what I'm looking for but surely that isn't a 'natural' sexual attraction?

    Opinions?

    Transsexuality is not a sexual orientation. Transsexual people are people who identify as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth - even outside of sexual situations. They can be gay, straight, bi, etc. It's unrelated to your sexuality.

    What sort of pornography you watch doesn't necessarily determine your sexuality, either - it's how you view the actual people. You mentioned you're more attracted to women, yet you aren't able to maintain an erection? Forget about that for a second. Focus on how you feel, not what your dick is doing.

    Your label (bisexual), to me, sounds about right, if you want to have sex with women. You mentioned that you can't imagine being intimate with a man, yet you can imagine having sex with him - there's a label called "heteromantic," which, applied you to, means that you feel romantic attraction to women only, not men. A lot of people drop it, though, since it's not as understood as sexuality, but I'm throwing it out there, in case you're curious.
