Am I gay?

[southcarolina]

I don't think I'm gay, I am attracted to girls and I just want to be with them, but I like looking at gay porn, I guess to compare myself to them, but I kind of enjoy it. I don't want to be gay. I'd like to be with a guy, but I really want to be with girls

Being gay is a lot more than sexual attraction.
Don't worry, you are fine. Your just curious.

Simple. You aren't gay. I think part of it may be genetics, but a big part is whether you WANT TO...

My thinking is that because you are developing you are really curious as to how the ideal male looks. Gay porn is the obvious place to find naked males, and my guess is that you see characteristics on the models that you really wish that you had for yourself. For example, you might wish that you have hairy legs or a big chest, and when you see those attributes on the models on the gay porn films you get really excited not because you want to have sex with them but rather you get pleasure seeing something that looks nice. Seeing nice things is a big part of human nature which is why folks collect painting, sculptures, or other pieces of art. Much how an art collector appreciates good artwork you have the same appreciation for the male body.

Basically, it is doubtful that you are gay in light of your strong interest in females. You should channel your feelings towards interest in the male body is a good way by shaping your own body by excercising, eating right, and staying active in moderation. Hopefully, you can develop the features that you find attractive on other males.

Or maybe you are gay, or even bisexual. If you want to "be with a guy," then clearly you have gay feelings, thus you could be gay. Or it could be hormones confusing your body.

Listen, lots of really good replies to this elsewhere, search for them. You're hardly the only one with this issue!

Being gay isn't about what turns you on, it's about emotional attraction, who you feel closet too and most emotionally intimate with.

Gay porn is arousing to a lot of guys b/c it involves a lot of penises and ejaculating, stuff guys do, that's very arousing for us. So, watching other guys is also arousing, not b/c you're gay, but b/c your eyeballs work.

As you get out there and start having more meaningful relationships with girls you'll being to discover if you're gay or not. Don't worry so much about what arouses you, it's only a very small part of sexuality.

You could be a lot of things: gay, curious, Bi, bi/curious, straight curious or straight. My point here is that it is probably just hormones combined with curiosity. So don't be too quick to label yourself.
