Did porn make you question your sexuality?

[SecretLust]

This has happened to me numerous times, when I am looking at porn I will find myself sometimes focusing more on the stud in the video (if it's straight porn), and his finely shaped cock. Obviously, not all guys turn me on, but as I said this happens more than on one occasion. Any similar experiences?

Hello,
I only questioned my sexuality when i lost my virginity at 12 to an older guy in his late teens.... Naughty i know looking back but i didnt mind i was "walking the dog" lol... In mid teens i just admitted i liked it and accepted i was gay and got on with things to be honest but people do often get confused and question themselves.... Not all guys will turn gay men on its down to individual taste and what you find draws your senses out

Kindest regards

No, I didn't really have access to porn when I was younger, I knew I was gay because I liked the boys and was indifferent to the girls when it came to sex.

When I was thirteen or so, my family had satellite (one of those huge things) and, when I was home alone, I would tune the channel so I could get a distorted picture of the porn channels. I focused on the male in the pictures 90% of the time. I began to realize that that was not typical, or what most guys did.

I cannot say what the significance of focusing on the man's cock is for you. Sexuality is not either/or, this or that, or black and white. It works in a continuum and it is dynamic. You could be bye and lean more toward women or more toward men. You could just be figuring out for the first time that you are almost exclusively interested in men, or you could just be almost exclusively interested in women but fascinated by male genitalia (most men are, at least their own).

I used to hate porn when I was around 17/18. My best friend (who I was in love with) always wanted to get porn videos out (he was straight). I hated watching them, and hated the tension between having someone I loved getting off on women, while I was trying to get him interested in me.

Nope.
Started with straight when i was...10.
Ended up on gay not long after as i found it more sexually fulfilling.
I found i could only get off to porn if there was a guy in it, and if there were more than one, that was even better.:tongue:
And...i never had a problem with it.mile:
I didn't have any romantic feelings till i was 17.:redface:
And, surprise surprise, those feelings were for men.:biggrin:

I had nothing to question to be honest.
I didn't even think i WAS straight OR gay when i first found porn. :redface:

So i'm affraid i don't really have any advice to give. But maybe my story will help.mile:

Good Question!

I wish I wasn't in a rush (what's new?), I'd like to spend more time on this question.

I discovered my Dad's porn stash at quite a young age (maybe 10, I can't remember now).

Sometimes I think that's part of the reason I waited until age 35 to have sex for the first time (because I learned to use masturbation and porn as a crutch) in my early years...

...but that's a different topic actually.

The point is, I started out feeling "straight" and looking at "straight" porn mags, but as I got older (teenage years) and I got bored with my Dad's stash I would search out other forms of porn. This became my only sexual outlet.

Yes, over time I found myself attracted to the men in the videos, but it TOOK years to sort of realize why....When I was younger and using porn to facilitate sexual fantasy I would SUBSTITUTE myself for the guy(s) in the porno (mag or later video).

In other words: I wanted TO BE that guy, good looking, usually smooth, with a big dick, slaying the women (so to speak). And that sort of "admiration" (I guess, for lack of a better term) evolved into a full blown male attraction.

This is part of the reason why I call myself bi-.

I was initially attracted to girls, but so introverted and withdrawn that I came to rely on porn...

...really running short on time here...

I'm just saying, yeah, in my younger years when my ideas of sexuality were being shaped it was mostly due to my use of fantasy and porn that explains why I was more interested in the guy than the woman.

Gotta run.
Ciao.

Not question but it helped understand, when I was like 13, I started with Lesbian porn but it didn't catch my eye so to speak but the same website offered gay porn, it helped that at the time I fancied a male friend, and so I wandered into the gay section and it helped confirm that I like men.
