Hey guys so I really found myself started to delve off with porn 2.5 years ago and now I'm trying to pick up the pieces and get back to where I was. I honestly had no idea what I was doing was just trying to find a way to get off the hardest. I'm experiencing feelings that stuff I've never experienced before so I'm extremely anxious. Just wanted to see if other people have struggled with this bc and if anyone can relate. Really appreciate it guys.

I'm assuming you're a straight male wondering why you get turned on by Gay porn? Bc after years of PMO abuse you Brain has adapted and needs something a bit more exciting to get that hit of dopamine. In my case, being gay, I stayed with gay porn, but it went from soft vanilla stuff to a fetishes. In your case, it's gay porn that is new and exciting to you. No, you're not gay either and if you are determind to reboot the urges to view gay material will weaken and soon become none existent. Remember, we are addicts. It's just like a drug addict in coke and switches to heroine for a stronger high bc his body built up a tolerence to coke. Good luck!
Yeah I've always considered my self straight but started getting into more extre me forms of porn. It was about 4 years ago I came across this stuff but 2 years is really when I feel like I fell off. I just found that it got me way harder but frankly other than the porn aspect of I've never found myself thinking of another man sexually until I quit porn. Now I found that ive totally wired my libido this.
Once again: you are an addict which should answer all your questions. To be gay, the physical and emotional connections would have been there since puberty. While porn can make you crave different fantasies, that's all it is. Porn cannot and will not turn you gay. Any "feelings" you think you have for men, is just your brain trying to get a spike of dopamine. Had I not recently stopped, eventually straight porn with girls might have done it for me but it wouldnt change the fact that I am gay and only like guys just as you know like girls.
Yeah that true...i constantly have to remind c myself that because at sometimes the thoughts and feelings get really questionable. But yeah like u said this was absent during puberty so there's no way this is the true me. I continued to use this stuff because frankly i was confident with the fact that i knew my sexuality and this was just a kink for me. But then things got out of control for me and still i never saw it untik i decided to quit. When I was younger I remember I never the saw the appeal to this like it just never clicked for me only crushed on girls. Even when i was using this stuff I only had eyes for girls when out. I've been without porn since June and the last time I relapsed was 2 months ago and havent seen any progress yet but I guess it's just gonna take a while given I watched alot of this stuff.
