    It's clear that I have a porn addiction, and that I am VERY close to acting out these fantasies that I have. I've been on apps where I want to find someone close to me. As much as I want to get it off with someone, I don't want to do it because it just seems wrong.

    Not wrong as in "dating another guy" is wrong, but wrong as in carrying out porn-like fantasies is wrong, but somehow I am compelled to do it because my mind is telling me that I want it. It's the same with smoking. I've been close to buying a pack myself just because I want to know how it feels. I think its the same with these urges I have, but if I go ahead with this I may regret it for the rest of my life.

    At this point I'll want to have sexual encounters, but I haven't actually developed any feelings for a guy; I never have, to be honest. It just seems weird to me (the idea of dating a guy), maybe because a majority of my friends are guys, and dating a guy would essentially mean dating one of my guy friends. I find that relationships with girls is more for me, not because society says that's the right way to do it, but because I know it feels right.

    Bisexual? Maybe. Bicurious? Probably not, if I have the urge to act out these fantasies. I don't want to act it out, but my mind just wants me to do it. I can never come to terms with myself of what orientation I have. I honestly just want to stick with a orientation and be done with it. I could care less at this point as to whether I'm gay/straight/bi, but my mind puts so much thought into it.

    Thoughts?

    And has anyone acted out their fantasies? Did it cause any confusion to your orientation?

    I think you have been watching a bit too much porn , and whither or not your bisexual , bi curious or gay . I don't think that really matters right now , I think what you need to do if you hadn't done it is stop watching porn ,and try wait for a while maybe a couple of months and see if you feel the same way . I've been trying to quit porn as well and I have porn addiction ,and I have seen a few men that have the same problem as you .
    I don't think it's a good idea to experiment while your still under your urge from porn .
    I think you should quit watching porn for sure and see if anything changes or you still have these urges .
    Put the whole sexuality thing aside for now and don't worry about it and focus on getting off porn it's gonna be hard but you can do it .

    Yeah I've trying to quite porn for a while now. My increase in the use of porn has made me believe that I am gay, or bi at the very least.

    Alright I'll try not to experiment, as I am still under control of porn. Thanks for your reply.

    I've dated someone who had a porn addiction, so I may have some resources if you're interested? I was the "accountabili-buddy" so obviously my part in what I experienced was different, but message me if you want :slight_smile:

    As for trying stuff you've seen in porn, I think it may depend on what type of things they are, and why you are wanting to try them. If it's just typical male on male stuff it could just be seeing that type of sex in a new light, and you being open to it. If what you are watching is violent, rape fantasy, BDSM-type things, I would definitely err on the side of caution and back-burner those types of activities. Not that they are wrong, I'm a huge proponent of kink. BUT when you watch porn, and have to continually find new, more exciting/ intense porn to fuel your addiction, your gauge of what you actually want to do with another person can be very skewed. What seems like a good idea may just be serotonin and other receptors going crazy, and making you seem interested in things that you maybe actually aren't.

    I never thought I would contact people for sex, never! But here I am saying that my addiction to porn has escalated that far. Gah! I don't even have crushes on guys, yet I want to do sexual things with a man... It's confusing. I agree with you that my mind has been craving more intense things, and I really want to experiment the man to man sex because I want to know how it feels.

    I'm not saying not to do but I'm saying you need to get over your porn addiction first , I don't know if you are bi or gay but if you have HOCD could get worse if you act on your porn fantasies so it's best to hold off on this stuff and try to get clean of of porn .

    I have the same problem but you should try looking up the site yourbrain on porn it has help full tools . it explains porn addiction and ways to stop it .
    One way that's very hard is trying no fap and also not watching porn .
    here's a link you can read up on how porn and porn addiction affects your brain
    Porn, Novelty and the Coolidge Effect | Your Brain On Porn
    Also try joining a forum that helps with stopping porn addiction , I recently started that .

    To be honest, the things I see in porn are a bit boring now. I'm at the point where I actually want to experience it first hand with someone. When I'm horny, I'll just send a picture of myself naked to a guy. Then when I was done masturbating, I realized this:

    - Whoa! What the fk did I just do? I would never do that! I want to have sex with a man that is as old as my dad?! That's disgusting!

    But of course when my mind craves the dopamine, none of that matters; not even the consequences. What if my parents find out? Screw that. I just want to get it off with a real person, because fantasies and porn alone doesn't even give me the same arousal anymore.

    I'm led to believe that porn has shown me that I am only attracted to guys, when really I have no intention of dating a guy. I'm not denying my feelings because I don't have any to deny.

    I just know that if I were to have a happy life with someone, it wouldn't be with a guy at all. If I cannot form a lifetime emotional/romantic bond with a guy, then sexual attraction is useless. I never had crushes or attractions to guys, but the fact that I watch gay porn makes me think that maybe I'm better off with a guy because I always fap to gay porn. I'm starting to lose my attraction to girls... It sucks...

    Like you said it could either be your really attracted to guys or this might be your porn addiction talking and the reason your seeking it in real life . watching gay porn doesn't make you you gay . You need to get your porn addiction under control because it doesn't matter who you date or sleep with male or female it will become a bigger problem for you . I'll send you another link with people that seem to have something similar to you, for you to read up on . But you have to quit you have an addiction and your showing signs of it that I've seen many men have on the addiction sites . Focus on quitting first

    Porn addiction is very serious mate, and I certainly suggest stop trying to act out your fantasies so quickly. In terms of your post I would suggest don't act on this because it's not a good idea and will lead for you to regret what you are doing for the rest of your life.

    I have never watched any type of porn in my life, in fact the porn in my life is provided by my thoughts, and that's not porn in anyway, that's my brain saying that is who you are(being that I've never ever watched porn and don't want to). You need to get over porn addiction defs.

    A way to do that would be to talk to people who have had porn addiction and gotten over it. As you would learn things that would not be learnt on a LGBT forum like EmptyClosets.

    I agree with this , I really think that he will regret it and it seems he has a huge addiction .
    He really needs to quit porn .
    I think he has HOCD caused by a lot of porn use .

    @stocking I have a ridiculous addiction to porn. I've been watching it since 12, so for 6 years I've been hooked on to the drug.


    Alright so I just had this webcam thing going on with older guy on Skype. When I saw his profile I was like oh this is hot! I want to have a video call with this guy.

    As soon as it started the whole thing felt weird, very weird. He was talking dirty and while I get aroused by this in porn, I didn't get aroused by his dirty talking. And when he orgasm, if felt a bit odd to me. I mean, it was cool, but not as arousing as a porn scene, for example. We were getting to know each other, like work, school, like/dislikes and it felt odd. I don't know what felt so odd about it but it didn't feel as good as I thought it would be.

    I was practically frowning the whole time, like "this is... weird, but it feels good because I'm jerking off." He's saying that we can take it slow and go at my pace, but after this webcam thing I don't even want to have anything to do with him! I felt extremely guilty and dirty for doing this...

    But when I feel horny, I want to do it again...

    What does this mean? Bad first time?

    Yeah I'll do that. I guess I came to EC looking for answers that isn't really the best place for people like me. Thanks for your input.

    I think you need to cut out all the web cam stuff out of your life all the porn everything and just focus on being porn free stop doing these things with these guys .
    Just go cold turkey without them and allow your brain to reboot back to when you didn't use porn . 12 years old holy crap that's a long time of porn use , if you keep this up you'll be looking at ED around your 20's and not even people will be able to arouse you anymore and it will be hard for you to get an erection .
    I didn't start porn til I was 19 years old .

    With the years you been watching since 12 years old it you'll need more than a week, I started at 19 and not even 3 weeks is enough for me to shake off a porn addiction .Mine is so bad if I here words of ,any sexual cues it triggers me to watch porn . It might take months maybe even 6 months or more to fully reboot . Are you 18 ? , if you happen to relapse don't give up just keep trying . I have relapsed 4 times recently ,and it isn't stopping me . Also that guy who said he can help you should let him help too .
    Also join a porn addiction support site and one thing I will warn you about is when you start quitting you will start getting angry or ticked off at things easily , also loud noises or sounds will drive you nuts in your withdraw process , you will flatline and might feel ed as well .
    Anyway good luck

    Yeah I've noticed that too. For the week that I didn't use any porn a lot of things ticked me off. I thought it was just me but now that you mentioned it I suppose it's normal. I'd imagine that it would be like not smoking for a whole week. I think I would get agitated quite easily as well.

    Thanks, I'll need it.

    Here's the basic run-down to getting help with your addiction...

    1) Delete very porn file, movie, picture, links, EVERYTHING on your whole computer.
    2) Download K9 K9 Web Protection - Free Internet Filter and Parental Control Software | Free Internet Filtering and Parental Controls Software And have it block porn. Now when you set it up, you have the password, which defies the point. So give the pw to someone else, and have them change it. Depending on your computer skills, it is technically possible to get around if you really freaking try, but this is a pretty good easy/ free start.

    3) Online forums are okay, but aren't nearly as helpful as real group meetings. SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) has many members who are porn addicts. Chances are there are meetings close to you. You are not alone. | Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous

    4) Talking to a licensed therapist for one on one therapy, to deal with your underlying issues. This one is expensive if you don't have insurance, but if you have it, definitely worth it!
