    Has anybody actually found that they have been completely unable to perform with women at one stage of the their life only to move onto another stage or find a specific member of the opposite sex with whom they've been able to have satisfying sex?

    Iv'e never been able to perform with a women in real life. I know porn is a bad indicator in fact I think porn has contributed massively to the confusion that I've faced. Despite acknowledging the fact that its a bad indicator it's impossible to ignore the fact that I'd often choose (even before questioning) lesbian porn. Whilst I've never been into gay porn there's no denying that I was very much into the dude just as much if not more than the girls. But On the street and in the media, I would only notice females. I would only think about females and id think about them constantly. Like its hardwired into me. After literally a couple of years fighting my porn addiction i finally succeeded and have been over 3 months without it. I felt it had brought some clarity. I masturbate once weekly and use just my imagination. I find it just as easy and just as satisfying to think of either gender. Some days one will be in my head more than the other and visa versa but regardless, I could always choose between the two and once I'm going I could be equally satisfied.

    So with my new found clarity. Having given up porn and at the same time drugs (which I had some struggles with pretty much since I started questioning 17 months ago) i felt more confident than ever that I was bisexual. Every time I've tried to have sex in the past, I've been really drunk, nervous due to past failed attempts, addicted to porn (masturbating hours daily to very hardcore porn - never gonna help real life performance) and its always been with a random girl with whom I've had no connection. For the first time ever I've overcome all of those problems. I got a prostitute and couldn't perform at all. Not even in the slightest. I was nervous, not shaking sweating nervous just the kind of nervous you'd expect visiting your first prostitute.

    I must admit, I can masturbate to the thought of just a naked women and imagine standard 'vanilla' sex and be satisfied but I cant imagine that would hold much long term interest for me, even if she was gorgeous. I'd be into kinky stuff, none of which were on offer with the prostitute. In fact very little that I would be into was on offer. But either way, I was incredibly horny before and after the visit. Even if I am gay, or a kinsey 5 or whatever, I would have expected to be able to perform at least to some degree.

    What do you guys think, was todays failure to perform that last piece of evidence I need to confirm I'm gay rather than bisexual or somewhere closer to bisexual on the spectrum? I'm thinking that perhaps it was.

    Just a final note - I've never done anything with a guy. It's next on the list and I would imagine it will happen very soon.

    ...I mean, that's probably not the best indicator. There's more to being gay or bi than sex. I'd imagine there'd be straight guys in that situation who wouldn't be able to either.

    "Has anybody actually found that they have been completely unable to perform with women at one stage of the their life only to move onto another stage or find a specific member of the opposite sex with whom they've been able to have satisfying sex?"

    Not exactly that situation, but yeah, my sexuality's pretty fluid. There's always attraction there for any gender, it just goes up and down.

    What do you feel like when it comes to emotions? Are you interested in either men or women that way?

    Hey,

    I don't think this proves anything. Sex is much more than just the physical act itself. Personally I don't think I would be able to have sex with a prostitute of either sex because I would feel that they are not into me and that's a huge turn off for me.

    It's fairly common to not be able to perform under stress. Combine that with the fact that you have no connection to the prostitute so it's no wonder if you couldn't perform even if you were 100% straight. This is actually the reason why I haven't tried sex with prostitutes to figure out my orientation. I think that I couldn't perform with a prostitute of any sex.

    I don't hear much of any indication you're gay. You talk about fantasizing to women, attraction to women, and you chose a women for your experience with a prostitute.

    Additionally, the lack of abllity to perform is far more likely due to anxiety than to lack of attraction to females.

    My guess is that there's an anxiety of some kind going on here that was first masked by the drugs and the compulsive masturbation, and the constant stimulation from the masturbation has basically impacted the ability to experience normal arousal.

    I would suggest that your best route might be to see a therapist with experience in anxiety disorders, sexual compulsion, and addiction. I think if you spend some time exploring those issues it will be a lot easier to get real clarity on what's going on for you.

    When you don't want vanilla, there is no point in buying vanilla and force yourself to eat it.

    I suspect this has nothing to do with your orientation.
