About Daryl Taylor, BSc(Hons) Psychology
Expertise
As a former youth worker, working in the UK and as a Camp Counsellor in the US, I have volunteered and helped young people from all over the world. I have worked for two or three websites like this in the past since I was about 13/14 and I continue to do so now at the age of 23. I can answer problems on a whole range of issues from friends and family, to drugs, sex, alcohol and relationships etc.
Experience
I have worked as a youth worker for local organisations, volunteered on this and other websites giving out information for about 8 years, volunteered at my college and university doing face to face counselling and I have recently worked for an organisation in the UK which specialises in helping young people aged 13-19 to make positive decisions in their lives. I have featured in a UK based magazine called Aim Higher as a case study to show triumpth through adversity and I have recieved an Adult Learner's Award for my pioneering work at college.

Subject: Being Aroused
Question
I seem to have a problem. Whenever I am around friends, I seem to become aroused. Whether we are hanging out in close quarters or hanging out in the hot tub. I also become aroused when I see one of my friends naked. I know I am not gay but they never seem to become aroused in these situations. Why is this so??
Answer
Andy,
It could be a number of any different things and does not necessarily mean that you are gay.
In a hot tub or a shower, the hot water will cause your penis to become slightly aroused anyway and the fact that you are looking at other naked people, regardless of sex, will also help you to become slightly aroused. Don't forget that as well as associating women with pornography, men also star alongside them, usually hung like a horse and good looking guys. So when you are in the shower and you are looking at these guys and becoming aroused, perhaps it is just because you are developing your sexuality and that you are just happy to see anyone naked because it reminds you of pornography.
It does not happen to everyone but then not everyone discusses it for fear of being called gay or for fear of making it an issue. You will know if you are gay or bisexual because you will start lusting after members of the same sex and wanting to do sexual things with them; if this does not develop, then it is meerely curiosity.
