I started watching porn when I was 10. By the time I was 15 I had found that I was able to get turned out from the lesbian scenes in porn. Because of this, I just assumed I was bisexual. I was actively dating men but was never able to orgasm from sex with them. I now believe this could have been because of the extreme amount to porn I used. I figure this could have been the equivalent to ED that men get. Because of this, and the fact that I got turned on by the women in porn (but not by the men in porn), I eventually decided that must just mean I'm a lesbian. I've been away from porn and masturbation for 24 days and lately I've found that I've been a lot more attracted to men but not really to women. Even when I was attracted to women and thought I was a lesbian, I was never attracted to girly women, only the more tomboyish to butch ones. Has anyone ever heard of this happening-thinking you were gay because of porn but then realizing you weren't afterwards? The whole thing is very complicated.
Can porn make you think you're gay?

There should be a few threads here about something called HOCD. You should search forthem. It's basically obsessive thoughts about being gay because they conflict with your true sexuality. Escalation in porn habits like you mentioned usually cause it.

Yes, this is very common with porn users. Its caused form the desensitized brain and thus us needing more diverse and hardcore porn or genre that gives us that hit of dopamine we are after. Many men will start with straight porn for awhile then start to fade in to trans then finally full on Gay porn. I'm sure it's the same for women.
