Question
Until recently I considered myself straight, and I would have never questioned it, but a few weeks ago, I was looking at porn, and as i was clicking the different links, I accidentally stumbled upon some gay porn, and just coz I was curious I decided to have a look at it, and I ended up masturbating to this gay porn. Ever since then, I just don't seem to want to masturbate to anything that is straight, and even if I try, I always find myself going to gay porn. My girlfriend wants us to have sex for the first time when we get to our 6 month anniversary in 2 weeks time, and I have a fear that I won't be able to have sex with her because I am gay. The strange thing is, when I am outside, I always notice the girls, and always find girls attractive, but I never get attracted to any guys, but for some reason I can only get a hard on when i see gay porn. I am really confused, does this make me gay? or maybe bisexual? or maybe it's coz I am just nervous about having sex with my girlfriend, and my mind is stopping me somehow?? I am really confused, if you can help me in any way, I would be very grateful.

Answer
Bob,

I don't think you're gay. You're just curious because it's something you've never seen before. Being gay is a physical and emotional attraction to men. I think it's just because you've never seen anything like that before. Porn is really confusing because it makes all your hormones go crazy anyway. But, I don't think you are gay.

Best,
