Do hormones make you feel gay?

[JoeyCruz]

Not gay as in a relationship, but sexually. Before puberty I never had one thought about jerking off with a friend or seeing them naked. Now I just want to know how it would be. Sommetimes I watch gay porn to sometimes solve the curiosity. But when I watch it, I don't get turned on by the guys having sex, I only watch them giving each other HJs, BJs and look at their ass. I never thought about being in a relationship though. Is this all normal?

[Donkey]

Totally normal. Hormones released during puberty definitely cause very strong sexual feelings, which can result in sexual feelings toward the other sex even if there is no emotional attraction or if the desires are unwanted and you won't be gay later on in life. Don't worry about it, I don't think most people go through puberty without having some sexual thoughts about the same sex.

[Funkapotamus]

Yes it is normal. I remember the guys in my year (grade) at 15 all doing random sexual things to each other in public at school (and most likely later at their homes.

We all crotch grabbed and dry humped each other all the time like it was natural. Heck some of them started making out randomly in and out of classes around school and everyone thought it was like the normal thing.

Now however they all live with their girlfriends and wouldn't do those things again.

[Stretch]

Its completely normall! I am almost certain every goes through the same things!

[azulon3948]

[blackpo]

For me, since I was like 12 or so I struggled with the thought that I might be gay. In fact, just a few weeks ago I came out to my parents because I thought I was gay. I went and talked to a counselor though because I wasn't completely sure, and he confirmed that I was indeed not gay, it was just puberty. Haha, everyone goes through this; the gay thoughts, curiosities, porn, confusion, weird attractions, etc. It's normal. Don't do what I did though. I had to go tell my parents I wasn't gay, and they breathed a sigh of relief seeing as they are devote Christians. My advice: live through it, experiment a little if you want at your discretion, and if you think your gay, be SURE you are attracted to every emotional, physical, psychological and life-long aspect of being in a homosexual relationship. I hope this helped; contact me if you need anything. :)

I have several "jerk buddies" (people I jerk with, but NOT h/j or b/j each other), and have never considered this to be gay, so dont know if it is classed as gay.

I have not yet reached this "gay" phase that everyone says you go thru during puberty, but as people say on here, its "normal"

[Funkapotamus]

Never be too quick to label yourself, because if you become unsure and want to go back on it at a late date, it'll be hard convincing those you told. The best thing to do is to just not worry about it and come to it if you absolutely must when you're much older.

[SuPeR SaIyAn JoSh]

thats really good to see all these replies cus i waas worried about the same thing, because i would say i am about 70% sexually attracted to guys and 30% to girls but definitely can't see myself in a relationship with another guy or having any emotional feelings like that towards guys, and i also get very emotionally and sorta sexually attracted to a girl if i have a crush on her so does that mean i am gay or not???

[Funkapotamus]

Maybe you're bi? I mean most of your sexual attraction is towards guys and i'm sure you get along with guys easily enough.

I don't know, but I think you might be swinging to the Bi side. It's nothing to worry about at all

[goug16]

it's normal, you're just wondering what other man look like...it happend to me also

[Trinity_15]

yeah sadly they do

[PerpetualMotionSquad]

Yer man happens to me :s

[superstarB]

This happens to me alot also we are just un sure on what we think our sexuality is

[Berny94]

It's normal that you feel that way.

[bwdude15]

its normal...dont worry (: haha

[SuperYachtDude666]

yea i feel the same way sometimes, its normal

[Fresh]

Culd be a phase of curiosity like many people. There are alot of people who feel the way you feel and i think its more common with the the people who really havn't taken part in sexual activities?? How ever you wana call it, like kissing and intimate touches, meaningful touches i mean, like "I like you and you like me". But can you actually imagine yourself with another guy? i guess it comes down to can you picture yourself in the future with another man beside you in bed, a lil graphic here, something going inside you rectum. :P but yea its just curiosity, i think you need sex. With A Girl. Your mind maybe all over place. I think some people just need to experience some stuff, with you, you need a girl in your life, and see how it rolls on. Overall its curiosity obviously. N you'll probably never know until later in life or somethin

[Coolcat1314]

this is exactly wat happened to me so i kno wat ur going through bro. i started wondering if i was gay but i realized that i dont want relationships with guys so yea.

[Mtc 10]

yes soo normal.. I know what your going thru....

[Antagonist]

This is so normal it should be in the dictionary lol very normal, i know almost exactly how you feel

[CaptainObvious]

what has always confused me is: since when does someone need to want a relationship with a guy to be gay? hetero/bi/homosexual. those are the words. why? because the definition is related to sexual orientation.

i think a lot of the guys who express bisexual tendencies in puberty, like so many who have posted in this thread, are in fact somewhat bisexual, and they are simply more likely to express that in puberty because all parts of sexuality become more bold in puberty. later in life, after hormones calm down and you become more focused on a lasting relationship, it is totally normal that the dominant sexuality would determine relationship choices. it is likewise totally normal that someone would have a difficult time having emotional attraction to guys, and see themselves in a relationship with a guy, because society is dominantly straight. i'm totally gay, and even i didn't really want a relationship with a guy till my later teens.

my straight friends who i've asked say they weren't attracted to guys ever, and similarly, as a gay guy, i was never attracted to girls during puberty. in most cases "straight curious" = "bisexual, more attracted to girls than guys, prefers girls for long-term relationships"

[xChrisVx]

I am having the same problems.

Unfortunately where I come from homosexuality puts you in a bad light. There are a couple of friends that I have shared my feelings but I feel that I cannot "come out".

I am however confident throught information I have read on this site that it is due to puberty and it will pass :)

As to your question it is completely normal to have these feelings and even if they do continue past puberty then so what, you are normal
