Pornography and Sexuality

    Suppose I need a male perspective on this...

    Basically I found porn on my younger brother's laptop. He's 25 and I've suspected for a long time that he may be bisexual or homosexual.

    Anyway the type of porn I saw wasnt gay but it generally featured group sex with 5 or 6 guys and 1 girl.

    In my mind a hetro guy wouldnt find this kind of thing a turn-on. I certainly wouldnt.
    Is this type of porn indicative of what a hetro man would like to watch?

    Just to clarify, the porn is his business and so is his sexuality. These are not the issue of my posting.

    Cheers.

    Well then what is?

    From this males perspective, that sort of thing would not be of interest to me, but the fact that such material exists, would tend to indicate there is a market for it, so obviously some men must interested in it, even if they are in the minority.

    In my mind, a hetero guy wouldn't find being tied up and whipped until blood is drawn a turn-on, but I know my mind is not the same as everyone elses. Nor should it be.

    Group sex is not the same thing as gay sex.

    The type of porn you describe OP ( 6 guys 1 girl ) is just part of the market of what's out there ,like a choice on a menu .But like anything else you can get bored with the menu and in the case of Porn , want to view something different .

    Your brother may be just seeing it as that , another variation of porn .

    I've seen more than my fair share of porn (who hasn't?), and whilst I'm not gay or bisexual, I'll admit that I've watched scenes similar to that before. I'm no porn expert or addict, so I can't say that that would be the only kind of porn I'd watch, nor can I say that if i spent more time watching porn, that I'd lose interest in it, but it seems to me that it's just a variation and hardly something worth worrying about.


    Is that all he had on his laptop? Did he have tonnes of porn on his computer all with lots of guys and one girl? To be honest, I'd probably question his sexuality if I came across a folder full of actual gay porn (man on man penetration) but other than that, I don't see the reason for worry or concern.

    Thanks for the replies.

    It seems horses for courses. This type of porn isnt anything conclusive on a guy's sexual preferences so..

    cheers again.

    If his sexuality is of such importance to you - just ask him.

    I think this is the real nub of the issue here - not the type of porn on his laptop...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Well you see various things over the years have suggested to me he's not hetro, this being another (although judging by the replies here the porn is not an indicator)

    The nub of the issue is his own happiness and I'd much rather a situation where he is comfortable with his sexuality amongst people who care about him (family and friends) rather than keeping any pretence up.

    Just to be perfectly clear there are other things besides this going back a long time. Ultimately it's his life and business. I'm certainly not going to interfere in that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,214 ✭✭✭wylo


    I really wouldnt ask him if hes gay unless you are sure he is.

    As for the porn, defo wouldnt be my thing but Ive a mate who literally watches the exact kind of thing you described. I think that kinda porn is for the slightly more experienced viewers who are completely bored of regular porn.

    Your brother is not gay, he's straight and kinky. That is all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭SLUSK


    so he like's to watch gang bangs, that is so 10 years ago... I personally prefer Bukkake and if you don't know what it is, don't ask.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    sounds like hetero porn tbh. that awl gang bang, frat party bukakke **** thats making the rounds. The last one being particularly strange.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Email me the videos and I'll let you know

    It's not gay porn IMO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭Reflector


    I don't see what the personal issue is here,

    your brother may be gay/bi? so what!.

    The only concern would be if you found porn that was illegal on his laptop.

    So what?

    He likes a particular type of porn which you are not into and that makes him weird or unusual....come on now...:rolleyes:

    It basically sounds like to me that you have this idea in your head and you are trying to find some evidence to back up YOUR suspicions. Dont bull**** us by pretending to be concerned about him...

    Leave him alone and stop snooping around his personal belongings.

    And who says he is not comfortable with his sexuality??? You are being very narrow minded IMO

    ps Are you a hetrosexual guy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Ok thanks lads, it was a male opinion I was looking for.

    partyguinness nothing weird or unusual about this porn, just a lot of co*k in it, that's all.
    More issues than this by the way but my original post has been answered. Anything else people may say is assumptions.

    thanks again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    As the OP has stated that their question is answered, I'll close the thread.

    Ta for your help everyone.
