Is this because of hormones?

[cpcpty]

I'm brand new to the forum, even if I've lurked for a while. Hey guys!

I consider myself straight, and I don't have any interest in relationships with other guys or anything like that. I have had crushes on girls. But for some reason, I get a hard on when I talk with my friends about masturbation and stuff. Sometimes I have these weird thoughts about my friends and things along that line.

Help?

First off, your title is implying that being gay isn't normal. I'm not really sure what you're saying there, but I'll just hold you to it being a gramatical error.

Anyway, there is nothing out of the ordinary with this, in fact, it's quite common.
It's sex, you're a teen going through puberty. JUst about anything of a sexual nature will have that affect on you, and it's nothing to get worked up over.

When you think anything maybe
about sexual things will lead to an erection
Most likely

Yes, it's definitely because of hormones. Everybody gets those kind of thoughts and feelings during puberty, it's normal, don't worry.

Ok, I base it down to this. Yes, your mind is straight. You like girls, you look at girls and when you look at boys you just think, 'eh, no.'.

BUT, Your penis doesn't care! If you think about your friend jacking you off, your gonna get turned on because your thinking about a hand on your penis, not about the gender of that hand. So natually, when you talk to your friends about masturbation, your thinking with your penis and lets face it, that just wants any attention it can get!
