If I find same-sex porn highly arousing, am I gay?

Well, porn is not the best indicator of one's sexuality, I'd say. I get aroused by different kinds of porn but I'm attracted only to women.

 

I think that porn isn't the greatest indicator in the world. I think a better test would be this - look at a picture of a hot naked guy, then a picture of an attractive woman. Neither of them are having sex, nor are they doing anything sexual.,Which one of these do you find more arousing?

This test tends to work better on guys than girls.

 

I don't think that's the best indicator since there are plenty of straight people who like homosexual porn.

 

when I first started watching guy/guy porn I wondered about this myself, then I read something that really helped. the post (I don't recall if it was here or something I found on google) basically said that all I was really responding to was the sex act itself. which totally made sense to me since I don't want a romantic relationship with a man.

I can take or leave girl/girl porn, mostly its useless to me once they whip out the toys. and straight porn has become boring to me unless I find the woman involved attractive, which basically cannot happen in the stuff they currently make cuz of all the implants/collagen/botox.

 

Porn =/= Sexuality

I identify as a gay female and I would rank porn this way:

Gay (Male/Male): Highly arousing
Straight: Somewhat arousing
Lesbian: Boring/Turn-off

 

That's exactly my problem, i have been watching porn from the age of 13 (i'm 20 years old now). About a year ago i started watching gay porn and i prefer it to straight porn.
I really do find straight porn boring, i don't really know what turns me on about gay porn, when i finish with my "job" and look at my screen i feel totally disgusted with it.

i feel that after watching straight porn for so many years i became immune to it....Nowadays i try to masturbate without porn (im trying to use my imagination)

To answer your question from personal experience, i have had relationships with different girls and i was easily aroused just by making out with them so porn is not going to decide whether you are gay or not

 

Seconded.

I think whether you're gay or not should be determined by life, and whether you are sexually attracted to men in your life, or on tv, rather than in pornography where they are displayed already in a highly sexualized setting.

 

In order to find out your sexuality, you have to EXPERIENCE IT.
That's how I found out I like men more. ._.

 

Seconding what everyone else has expressed, you can like all kinds of porn no matter what you identify as.

 

From what I know, when a person sees an area of the body that is considered dirty, most find it arousing, no matter gender, so porn dosen't really tell you anything about your sexuality. Experiment a bit before coming to any conclusions.

 

I agree with everyone on here. The best way to know is to try it out. I think the best indicator would be experience. I don't know your age buy assuming your at old enough. I would get a boyfriend and see how that goes. Don't have sex with the guy, but see how you respond and go from there.

 

Focus on what you like outside of porn , throw porn out of the equation it doesn't matter what porn turns you on , porn is made to turn people on where they like what their watching or not .
There are straight men that are turned on and masturbate to gay porn doesn't make them gay or bi .

 

I agree with everyone else except for people saying you need to experiment. You can if you want, but experimenting doesn't tell you your sexuality either since some lesbians can enjoy the physical sensations of being with men and many lesbians experiment with women and hate it for various reasons. Your sexuality has to come from within, not from porn or another person.

 

huge thumbs up there, well said.
