    This isn't a "OMG I do ..., think..... AM I GAY?" thread, but will appear to be.

    I'm all confussled in the mind. But over girls and such.

    I'm a straight 21 yr old male and as such a run of the mill college lad.

    I personally feel no attraction to men whatsoever, and I know I've no feelings bottled up, and frankly the thought of being intimate with a man does nothing for me, if anything its a major turn off. But thats just me.

    There is one seriously worrying aspect.

    Now I don't actively seek it out, but happen to stumble upon, by chance [kinda :p] gay [man on man] porn. And it turns me on massively. I feel hugely guilty because of it, guilty to myself I guess, but for no reason.

    The thing thjat annoys me is, I'm physically, as aroused if it was a woman, but mentally its doing nothing for me :/

    I've masterbated to it, and enjoyed watching it, but still think, eh wtf mate, you don't like this.

    I'm certain of my sexuality, so I wonder, is this just something that turns me on, or is it more deep seeded to my own sexuality?

    How did you just happen to stumble on and watch g porn???

    Well as they say *ahem* One swallow does not make a summer. :)

    If it was a continuous thing your where attracted to and actively seeked out then I would assume one could suppose you did indeed have a leaning that way.
    But as a once off I'm sure it’s not an indication of anything significant.

    Just because you happen to find gay porn a turn on, that doesn't imply that you're homosexual. There is much more to being gay that porn. One must consider being intimate with another guy as in kissing, hugging, etc. Then there is the deeper affection for another guy and an emotional attraction to guys rather than just a sexual attraction which is more a surface thing.

    I know people who get turned on by all kinds of porn ranging from straight, bi, lesbian, gay, fetish, etc.

    Then there are people like myself who don't find porn really attracting. I find a lot of it to be repulsive and very vulgar. Thus, I like the emotional and romantic bond with another guy a lot more than the whole sex thing.

    Guilt ! You have answered your own question. I think that it is your "feeling hughely guilty" that is turning you on because in your own mind you know that you won't do it in real life. e.g. Most str. men will tell you that their main fantasia is having sex with two lesbians. But when you think about it, the last thing that lesbians want - is to have sex with a man ! So it is safe to fantasia about it. Just enjoy yourself !

    PS If you find any good sites PM me :p

    heh, I remember thinking almost exactly the same thing 7 years ago, when I just 'happened upon' some gay porn.

    Don't worry about it matey, if you enjoy it, sure why not! :)

    that must have been some serious quality porn you were wan ahem looking at there, i would't worry about, theres blokes 'enjoying' your person everyday while thinking about you, so its only fair you straights boys get to have some of the fun to.

    I'm a gay guy, and I get massively turned on by lesbian porn. But then, all porn turns me on, I think I just like sex ;/
