    I'm an 18 year old guy. In the past (8-14 years of age), I was only attracted to girls.
    Then I became attracted to guys. Since then I've had problems with figuring out what I am because I've never had any relationships with either sex.

    I've found that I've sadly become unable to masturbate to girls.
    Could that be because when I was straight, I was so horny all the time, always masturbated to girls about 5 times a day (seriously)
    So I find that I've seen pretty much everything one can see in straight porn and that's why there's no arousal when it comes to straight porn at all any more...
    I've also watched gay pornography, which I did and do find a little arousing...

    However I THINK there are certain body parts of women that seem to be a huge turn on for me in real life as well as on the Internet: it's mostly feet and when she's in the twerk position LOL But this is only a fantasy

    I am ABSOLUTELY concerned about my sexuality, and probably failing at having sex with a girl/failing at a straight relationship is my BIGGEST fear ever right now...

    I'm thinking of going to a night club and paying for a lap dance... could that be the way to find out th truth?

    HELP I'm feeling so lost and confused... jeez this is depressing :/

    "So I find that I've seen pretty much everything one can see in straight porn and that's why there's no arousal when it comes to straight porn at all any more..."

    I don't know if porn is the best indicator because in many ways its voyeuristic nature lends itself to having to see something new and titillating each time to get off. So if you develop a reliance on pornography to get off but then start finding the pornography boring there is an obvious problem. Of course then to solve that people can either try and look outside of porn for sexual gratification, or move on to more extreme and unusual categories they may not have viewed before just to get that titillation of something new and different.

    The fact you only say its a little arousing sounds to me like maybe its just the fact its something new and different that is interesting, but that you aren't really interested in what is going on so much. The fact that in one of your previous posts you wrote:

    "Then my orientation has definitely changed in some respect. I've found I've become attracted to some guys and tgirls (transsexual women) because the thought of having sex with a male who possess both male and female characteristics is somehow arousing to me."

    If you are only finding these scenarios involving what would be considered more niche segments of pornography arousing. Yet are not inclined to actually act on them in real life I would say its simply that you have become too reliant on porn to get off. As is common pornography gets less and less appealing as it becomes more routine and expected. Hence the slow migration to more niche and extreme types of pornography to continue to get the desired arousal.

    Do you often try to masturbate without pornography, if so what do you fantasize about? If mentally you fantasize more consistently about heterosexual sex, I would say you don't have much to worry about. Except a possible porn addiction which can be problematic.

    I've also had a very serious problem ever since:
    Whenever I try to imagine a girl, I imagine her with male genitalia. I know you're like what the f... right now, I feel the exact same way about it!!! Is this a mental disorder, should I contact a sexologist because of this issue (not because of potential homosexuality/bisexuality)... Do gay/bi men do that??? 100% seriously

    Also I've suffered from OCD since age 13-14. It began with me pulling out some of my hair because I would think there was some bug in my hair/on my head. Then it disappeared and I began suffering from inferiority complex. Soon after it disappeared and my OCD reappeared. I always have to TRY to masturbate to girls.

    I've always tried to fantasize about girls ever since. Before like I said in the OP, I had no problem doing that. In fact that was the only way for me to get off. I only actually watched lesbian porn because of the dude(s) in straight porn: the sight of male genitalia was simply disgusting to me, it completely ruined my erection, it was a huge turn off.

    For the past 1 year, I've mostly avoided watching gay pornography and watched straight pornography. I just don't seem to get an erection.

    When I think about having sex with a guy, I get aroused (get an erection). I THINK I'm into natural girls when it comes to being into girls, I'm just sick and tired of all the fakeness regarding the porn actresses... I like fantasizing about one of my ex classmate (female) twerking on me lol... I don't always get an erection tho

    All my fantasies are simply disrupted, because whenever I try to imagine and fantasize about a girl, instead of female genitalia, I COMPULSIVELY imagine her with male genitalia.

    I'm tired of porn tho. What I'm going to try to do is stop watching it and get off without it. And I really want to try it with a real girl because i'm curious... I just want to figure out my sexuality so much...

    It is possible that a therapist may be able to help determine the root of what is causing you to only fantasize about individuals with male genitalia. It is quite an odd occurrence that you cannot maintain a mental image of a woman with female genitalia while fantasizing sexually and I am unsure as to why this would be.

    I presume in your fantasies that despite the objects of your imagination having penises that you take the penetrative role as opposed to being the one penetrated? If so, what is it about them having a penis that you think you find attractive or arousing?

    Yes, I do take the penetrative role. In response to your second question: I think I imagine them with male genitalia because I never actually liked female genitalia so much... I don't find it disgusting, but I would rather her twerk on me and do anal with her... I don't know exactly why that is the case, but still.. But like I said, I'm not saying I wouldn't ever "satisfy her vaginal needs" :wink: I'm just, I think, more into butt and hips/feet/legs and a pretty face

    It is quite possible that the proclivity towards anal sex stems from pornography, I think I recall Vice did a piece on how it has become extremely popular in pornography and thus become more popular amongst people.

    This would be very much a shot in the dark, but perhaps because culturally anal sex is seen more as the second/lesser of vaginal sex, and something that people do in lieu of vaginal sex (ie: gay guys). That you have mentally associated the act of anal sex with people who lack female genitalia and ergo imagine that the people you are having sex with have male genitalia. Again, I am no psychologist so that is just a guess. A proper sex therapist could probably provide you with a better analysis of your situation.

    From the sounds of it though I would say you sound like you are fairly straight. Obviously the overall physical package you seem to prefer is female from what I can gather from your posts. Even though you imagine them as having penises it doesn't sound as if you are interested in doing anything with them (giving them head, riding them, et cetera) so that says to me that its just a minor quirk in an an otherwise straight fantasy. Trying to work over the issues in you mind or with a therapist as to why your fantasies all involve people with male genitalia would probably help. There is nothing wrong with being more of butt and legs guy, plenty of my straight friends are that way.

    Experimenting with a woman to see how things work out in real life is probably the best way to alleviate your anxiety and figure out what you really like. On that matter I can't be of too much help though as I have no idea how one goes about picking up ladies.

    Also I've found that I am actually really attracted to how most women seem to sit sometimes (them leaning a little bit either to the left or to the right) :grin: it tends to show the hips/butt

    Well I honestly truly thank you for your time and effort put into the attemp to help me out. It's awesome that you have straight male friends that don't discriminate against you.

    Just like I don't discriminate against LGBTQ people regardless of what I am :grin:

    It's tricky when you start using porn to determine your sexuality. If anything, porn may confuse you even more. If you are addicted to porn as much as I was, then that's a problem. Talking to my therapist made me realize that. If I didn't seek outside help I'm sure I would still be using porn. I'm one month free now, and still figuring out my sexuality. But all I can say is porn is like a drug. The effects of it on your brain are no different when smoking or using the typical drugs out there.

    Since you've also have OCD, I will assume that anxiety is also a factor in your confusion. So start off by cutting the porn and go from there. Might take a while, but it'll benefit you in the long run.

    There's too many reasons why people watch porn, with the taboo factor being a part of it. Just because you are gay that doesn't mean you can't get off to lesbian porn, and vice versa. Proves to show that porn doesn't always match up with orientation.

    So you're saying I should cut porn totally and go from there?

    Also, I've found my fantasies since age 14 have been mostly gay. When I say this, I mean that I can get off to gay fantasies so easily and quickly... lol

    But I wonder why that is. Because when from age 8 to 14, the only thing I could get off to was girls, girls in my mind, girls in porn, vagina boobs etc ...

    Do you think if I cut porn totally and stop masturbating for some months, my brain will "reboot" and I'll know my true sexuality, or will I also have to get a lapdance from a female stripper?

    ^This is very interesting to me and I'm thinking about trying it. Any thoughts on that?

    First of all, I agree the twerk position is a turn on for me 2 LOL

    I could be your only a little tired of masturbating and a problem with testoserone but I wouldn't make guesses before you have sex :slight_smile:

    Porn in general isn't good for you. If you can casually watch it with no addiction affects then that's fine but if you're hooked onto it then you need to stop. And about those gay fantasies, that's around the same time I started having those thoughts as well. But I found that after I masturbated to them, my mknd became more clear and the gay thoughts went away, almost like what an OCD sufferer goes through.

    Not sure about the whole rebooting process cause I haven't done it. Give the rebooting a shot, and see how it goes. You don't know unless you try, right?

    Oh same here haha. There was a part in Iggy Azalea's music video "Work" where her ass was basically focused on and I thought DAMN.

    You could try to do things that takes your mind off it or preoccupy yourself.

    Remember masturbation in general isn't bad but you can't over use it!

    Try ocupping your mind with other stuff, like tv shows, games, books, anything. When you feel that urge coming, try going for a walk, for example, so you are forced to forget that.

    As Juan89am said, masturbation is healthy, but you can't over use it.

    If you feel that porn/masturbation is having a negative impact on your life and you can't stop it, consider seeking a specialist to help you.

    I'm trying to masturbate less, but it's hard. So don't try to completely cut off all your bad habits it addictions. You'll also need to substitute something over porn/masturbation. Attempting to cut off a habit without replacing it with a better one only makes it harder for you to change.

    I fap a lot too, but try to keep myself busy as much as I can. Don't expect to change immediately, but understand that breaking habits take time.

    I'm also seeing a psychologist right now, and I'm glad im able to talk to her cavity these things. Hope your therapist can do the same.

    Hey Jax12

    I'm not going to turn this into a rant thread, but seeing as I've seen your post about your recent gay experience, have you been able to figure out your own sexuality to the extent that you already know what you're attracted to and what you aren't attracted to?
