    Questioning
    This has been on my chest for a while now, but I finally want to let go of it and get other people’s opinions on the matter. Ever since I could remember I only thought about girls. I even had some relationships with them when I was younger, mostly middle school. I never had a “real” relationship with one though, nor have I ever kissed one. I did ask one out my sophomore year of college, but I got rejected pretty badly. However, it wasn’t until about 14-15 years old that I started to notice guys, primarily ones with muscle. It started in 9th grade when I noticed this one kid who was muscular, and he made me kind of excited. Nothing else really aroused me about him, except for the fact that he was muscular to a degree. It was at this point that I decided to look up gay men kissing (not actual porn though). To my surprise, I became aroused by it and it was the first thing I ever masturbated to. But after I was finished I felt guilty and identified myself as still being straight because I knew in the real world I would never try to pursue a guy. Over the course of my high school years I would sometimes fantasize about certain guys in my class who are tall and muscular, but I never felt any feelings for them. Mind you, I was never a tall or real muscular person (I’m still not), so I wonder if on a subconscious level that had something to do with it. It was more just for excitement and arousal purposes I think.

    Well this chronic masturbation continued (and still happens from time to time) for 7 years…I’m 21 almost 22 now. Within the last few years though I started watching straight and lesbian stuff and became aroused by it, but not to the extent of gay erotica. Something about watching guys kissing arouses me a lot, but if I were to do that in the real world I really don’t think I could. It wasn’t until just recently that I thought to myself whether I should pursue hooking up with a guy just so I could know what it really feels like, but every time that picture comes into my head it creeps me out and I can never go through with it. Well, this back and forth volley of whether I’m straight, gay, bi, whatever distresses me from time to time. I could be sitting in a room reading a book and then the idea of possibly being gay floods my mind and it bothers me. What I’m really asking here is whether this isn’t something I should take lightly and whether or not I should try to act on my innate feelings, no matter how much they distress me. I want to be with a girl not a guy (at least that’s what I think and it’s just not society talking). I can’t really see myself with another man; especially the type of sex that comes along with it. Sorry for the long post, but any help or insight you can give me would be very much appreciated!

    Do what you feel man. Don't push yourself to do something that feels unnatural to you. Just do what make you comfortable.
