Confused about Sexuality (Again)

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Aug 28, 2018.

  1. So, I made a lot of posts on here, with the same topic. That is because it is bothering me a lot.

    This isn't a post asking for advice.
    Of course you could give me advice, but this is more like a vent post.

    So, I'm really confused over my sexuality. I don't know if I am gay/bi or straight.
    I escalated into gay porn (not sure if I escalated or that's what I actually liked, but I remember I watched straight porn for quite sometime.)

    I dont find girls attractive. I can't get turned on by any female body anymore.
    I find men attractive. I get turned on by male bodies (mostly on porn and fantasies).

    I remember I was watching straight porn before, and I think, I found women attractive. I said "I think" because it's like my brain can't remember if I ever was attracted to women. I can't remember how I felt back then at all no matter how hard I try to remember.

    And its depressing. Not knowing who you really are, not knowing who you really like.
    Reboot is the solution. But I can't seem to be able to do more than 7 Days streak. I really want to find who I am. (Mostly wish I am actually straight tbh.) It's so depressing..

    Thanks for reading. This was more like a vent, to overcome the anxiety and depression that got into me right now. I am trying to do a longer streak but with no luck.

  2. Hi Jim. Yes, depressing and intensely frustrating. I do understand that and I have posted my views to you months ago...

    Your fixation on this conundrum, albeit understandable, is adding to your distress. The real focus of your attention needs to be how you can successfully maintain a period of abstinence more than a day or two, or even a week or two. You likely need a complete break from porn, masturbation and orgasm for 9-12 months. Then the answers you seek will be apparent. So, spend your time here gathering tips and advice from the rebooting and porn addiction forums to reach your objective.

    Have you had sexual contact with either a man or a woman? Try both, and see which you like?

    You should know yourself. Stay away from Porn. Be honest to yourself. Nobody on this Page can tell you, what you realy like ore who you realy are.
    Being Gay is not the End of the world. There are a lot of Gay Guys on this Page, there is even a Group for Gay Men.

    I can relate to this, as someone who struggles with porn induced fetishism, it can be very hard to cope with the intrusive thoughts and feelings. I feel like the best approach to take with regards to this is to understand and appreciate the generalised benefits of going on a streak, as opposed to going on one to accomplish one specific thing, I found that once I start realising that and putting into practice, it made it easier to accept days where urges were worse, or accept intrusive thoughts, and ironically it made it easier to accomplish specific things too.

    I think the reason for this might be a classic case of "dont think of the pink elephant", where the more you try to ignore something, the more it tries to force its way into your mind. I also think this is the root cause of a lot of relapses; people distract and ignore until they cant distract and ignore anymore, and then dont know what to do. Instead of trying to fight these urges and intrusive thoughts, accept them for what they are, thoughts and feelings more likely than not a result of addiction, then, one that is done, just go on like normal instead of trying to force them out.

  9. Never had a sexual contact with anyone.
     
  10. I already know that nobody can tell me who I really am. It's just some kind of venting to get my stress off a little.

    Understanding Homosexuality means accepting it. There is nothing to heal about Homosexuality, its not an Illness

    The neuroplasticity of the brain is amazing, I'm sure you can restore your original sexuality with a bit of effort. You won't get support from most though, the idea of reverting from homosexual back to heterosexual is taboo.
    At least try and avoid this type of content if you relapse and be mindful of escalating.
    I haven't heard many success stories and subsequent good advice on this front though.

    "do or do not, there is no try"
     
  16. Sorry but I am not sure if you can understand anything of what I'm going through. Of course there is a try, because I am trying but you canyc understand. I don't know how easy it is for you or anyone here. But it's not easy for me.
     
  17. yes. and also sexual arousal can come from many things- including anxiety ...
