    Hello all,
    I hope you take the time to read this because I am struggling lol.

    A little background, I have previously been in an anxious panic and obsession about my health in particular cancer. After multiple trips to the GP for reassurance I finally released this. (I felt this was relevant from a mental health point) Now moving on to my current problem:

    Since I was around 12 I was watching porn, 100% all straight, up until around 2 years ago where I got bored of this and looked for something different. I would occasionally watch gay porn but it was not exclusively this. And at the time I thought nothing of it. I have currently got a girlfriend who I have been with for 3 years and absolutely adore in every way.

    About 6-8 months ago I quit looking at gay porn videos and thought nothing of it, I have always been 100% straight In my opinion since I can remember. I have always liked girls throughout all my childhood and teenage years.
    However, after I ended my OCD revolving around my health, the day after I was jet washing my grandparents backyard and all of a sudden got this anxiety attack about when I viewed gay porn and whether it meant something was laid dormant in me.

    I have had seriously complications with this at the moment because I find myself constantly analysing in my head and trying to reassure myself. I constantly view porn (don't masturbate to it) to see if I like it. When viewing gay porn I don't get an erection but do feel groin responses. But I feel like I'm punishing myself because I do not want to lose my girlfriend (I have spoke openly about this to her and she's very supportive).

    I would just like to conclude on the fact that I really do not have a problem with gay people at all, its just not what I want.
    I constantly find myself viewing men seeing if I like it, and getting myself panicked and confused.

    Please can someone help me.

    Thanks for reading if you got this far.

    Just to add to this, I used to me secure enough to say if I found a male 'handsome' but never found them sexually attractive. But now I'm so down and depressed I cant think about anything like that and it is starting to effect my sex life which is horrible but surprisingly my girlfriend is very understanding and is brilliant and so calming. I am just so scared that this confusion is gonna make me lose her which would be my worst fear but my brain wont stop analysing

    How're you dealing with it now. I'm going through this bullshit right now too. Do you have any pointers?
     
  4. For what it's worth, I think people in the West are severely handicapped in their mental, intellectual, and spiritual development by their belief that all their thoughts are their own.

    They are not. This incorrect and dangerous belief can take people to terrible places. People can feel compelled to accept or even embrace truly evil ideas in the mistaken belief that this is who they really are, coming to the surface.

    Whether one believes that the origin of these thoughts is demonic or the result of illusion, the method for dealing with them is the same: ignore them. Let them be to you as rain on the roof. You're aware of them, but not engaged.

    There is no need at all to take ownership of or responsibility for thoughts which can only lead to harming yourself or others. They're not really yours. Just leave them alone.

    Dont fight with it. Just leave it be, it will die. Your fears get stronger if you feed (obsessive thinking) them. I talked with a exprienced woman and she told me that lots of men have it. Its a fear of not being man enough. Some fellow fapstronaut made a valid observation here, that watching porn is taking away our masculinity. And the subliminal messaging all around us is making it worse. I will add a music video, where you can see it. At first listen to the song, and then scroll down and you see it from the comments below what the subliminal message is.

    This will help you a lot, watch this and say goodbye to urges forever

    https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/if-youre-struggling.232140/

    But however urges are sometimes attacking even if you are focused on something else, when i got rid of those 1% foods which increases urges and started enjoying 99% other beautiful foods it became so much easyer for me ^_^
