    I get why people say porn is never a good indicator. It's more confusing than reality...

    TMI WARNING lol (can't beleive I wrote this much on such a topic)
    I always used to watch gay male porn and get off quickly but then the first time I watched lesbian porn it was much slower but I never realised I could get that wet...

    It's been the same deal since but recently i've been feeling that although i get off easily to porn wiht guys in, i dont feel that good about it, but with lesbian stuff i feel damn happy and gay but it takes me a goddam age to get off although im waaaay wetter.

    And then today I was feeling super gay and I was watching lesbian porn but I couldn't come at all. I just soaked through everything, had all the blood rush there and felt like i had already come but i hadnt. Goodness gracious me.

    Anyway as I said at the top probably shouldn't be dwelling on this but sometimes I just feel my mind is rather on gayer side but my body doesn't know which way its going, you know?

    Anyone else get this confused over porn?

    Well you shouldn't be using porn to find out your sexual orientation. If you know what you're attracted to then watching porn is OK.

    It was certainly confusing for me, yeah. I loved watching straight porn but would pay attention to the guy, but also couldn't help but imagine myself in the guy's shoes. Vaginal sex gets me very interested but is on and off.

    Just remember sexuality isn't "one size fits all" it's customized and everyone is different.

    Yeah, I'm not deciding anything based on porn. I've decided already on bisexual and the only thing that might change my mind is real experiences not porn. Im starting to like the label, it seems right and even if I'm feeling confusing stuff it gives me wiggle room for that. I'm just saying porn so bloody odd sometimes.

    I have never watched straight porn because I'm just afraid of seeing pornstar guys treating women as complete objects. I was scared of the depiction of women in any porn for a while which is why I just watched male gay porn. So I have no idea who i'd be paying more attention to when watching straight porn.

    And thanks rgvbobcat. You're right about that. I do like to think about everything in my life too much, when I should just be like "whatever let's do ma thing". But in general I'm quite happy to call myself bi right now, so I'm not really stressing about anything, I just like thinking and talking.

    For me, the extent that porn turns me on, depends how much the actors seem to be enjoying it and everything else is far less important. Other than that I can enjoy straight and gay porn. Also, a good plausible "story" with elements of something forbidden is a big plus.

    I'm kind of picky about who I find attractive be it man or woman. And the pleasantness of the face is maybe the most important thing to that. I don't enjoy porn where they don't show the faces at all. I like boobs and muscles attractive too but the face is the number one for me.

    What an interesting and pertinent topic for me at this moment.

    (A little backstory) I spent the first 27 years of my life considering myself a heterosexual male. I had numerous hetero-relationships, and consistently watched straight or lesbian porn. I never dabbled with (male) gay porn, and often felt a revulsion whenever I 'accidentally' came across any.

    Recently I have been doing a lot of self-discovery, and have broke through a huge wall of denial. I now consider myself a gay man. This was a sudden (and WONDERFUL!!) discovery. Of course, this discovery has had its hardships.

    Back to porn - I think that I have been trying to FORCE myself to watch (male) gay porn. I don't know why I feel that I NEED to do this, but it has been coming over me recently. I guess I would say that I am happy operating without porn at the moment, but every few days I feel that I SHOULD watch it. This is such a weird phenomenon. As if - I would "lose" my homosexuality if I didn't watch it.

    Here is what I am realizing (as I write): I am super happy being with my sexual orientation. I realize that I neither want porn to be any kind of routine nor do I want to use porn as a confirmation of my orientation. That just feels gross to me right now.

    I don't know if this will resonate with you at all, but I wanted to share what is going on with me lately in this arena.

    I really appreciate Jax12's comment that "you shouldn't be using porn to find out your sexual orientation." I really needed to hear that today.

    You have to keep in mind that porn has been studied to please most of its audience. You can find videos on youtube with Lesbians being grossed out watching lesbian porn, it ain't realistic at all.

    As for myself, I'm gay, I know that. But well, gay porn just won't do it for me, the guys are kinda gross. Straight porn is the grossest out of all though.
    In the end I'm basically a gay guy who watches lesbian porn and straight hentais... It won't change the fact that I'd never go out with a girl again.

    You can like watching sports on TV without practicing any of them, it's kinda the same for porn.

    Yeah, I get you Euler. Nothing worse than lorn were the feelings seem to be faked. Although I love some good erotic fiction, I haven't watched much porn with a proper story, I'd don't think I've seen much. I guess I've listened to some audio porn with a bit of a progression and a fair bit of talking, I do love that.

    And yeah, I hate it when they don't show the faces during porn. And I get what you mean about being picky. With guys its bit less of a problem, probably because the things gay men and women fantasise about in a man are similar (and porn is usually dictated by men) but I am really not into the typical bleach blonde yet weirdly tanned super-boobed uber girly submissive but horny pornstar girl. I just want a somewhat realistically proportioned beautiful confident woman. I spend ages scrolling through lesbian porn looking for someone I find attractive. Hopefully I find the right places to look over time but I don't have much hope since most lesbian porn will always be a stright guy fantasy.

    I blew mine too, it's so accurate that I'd never thought about it before writing it.

    Porn in the end, is more of a form of entertainment to which one masturbates than anything else.

    Hi omgwhatishappen. I get where you're coming from. I did earlier on in my discovery of my girl-loving make myself watch lesbian porn. Now I just wanna watch some porn with girls in it, I'm not trying to test myself, but I'm not always sure about the stuff I'm watching.

    And Aeolia, you think the guys in gay lorn are gross? I think there's a pretty good variety and there are plenty of hot ones, but its l subjective I suppose. I am such the opposite, I've always been super into gay hentai and gay porn but I'd rather be with a girl ahaha. I love a good tasteful lesbian manga like Prism by Higashiyama Shou, which a panel from was my first profile PIC on here and I just used a page as my background PIC for my profile.
