I'll start off by saying I'm pretty certain I'm not gay, I can never get an erection over guys and gay porn is really not my thing.

However, I seem to have some weird ass "condition" in which I am so worried about being gay that I can't stop worrying that when I have platonic relationships and appreciate that a guy is attractive, that I am "gay".

It is fucking me up a bit, and I'm not sure how to accept how I feel - i.e. attracted enough to guys to have this feeling but not enough to want to have sex with a guy.

go sleep with a guy or two. if you dont enjoy it, stop worrying. if you do enjoy it, stop worrying.
>>
get to know someone who is actually gay and you'll know the difference. But I do thing you might be gay if you're emotionally attached to guys enough to worry about it
>>
>>18458970
The fact that you care enough to make this thread means you're at least a little gay.
>>
>>18459010
Well, I know I'm not 100% gay because I like women. I don't think it's likely I'm gay if I actually am physically and mentally attracted to women and not men.

It's probably worth mentioning I never really had a father figure growing up and I suffered through depression for over a year, I don't know if these things are an indicator as to why I have such an attachment.
>>
>>18459021
lol I know I'm a bit gay, it just frustrates me I'm not gay enough to want to fuck a guy
>>
>>18459025
look up kinsey scale, you're probably like 90/100 on women and 10/100 on men maybe.

But yeah, what you said make sense, maybe you lack a father figure or older brother in some sense

>>18459048
Thanks, I've always heard sexuality is less constrained than straight/gay, but that is hard to understand...

I think that is the case, because my attraction to guys seems to stop at a relationship level.
>>
>>18459058
Some people make a differentiation between sexual and emotional attraction too, like "I'm emotionally gay but sexually straight" and BS like that, and it might be true to some extent, but I think it's a bit too "snowflake-y" to me.

I consider myself "straight" with a dick fetish, I don't have the slightest attraction to any male features but I can jerk to a "feminine penis" lol. You shouldn't worry too much about it unless it has some bad impact on your interpersonal relationships, just let it flow and if you're bi/gay, you're bi/gay, it's not like you can avoid it too much...
>>
>>18459068
Eh, yeah that's odd. I can't imagine being in a relationship with a guy just cos I like them as a person, surely that's just friendship?

Yeah you're right. I think I got carried away with thinking I can "change" my sexuality when I just need to accept it. Thanks again

I'm off to Uni next year so I'm sure I can work something out

Lol at trying

Talk to your doctor about Viagra, maybe then you can get it up for a guy
>>
>>18459089
Well, you would have thought that an erection would have to come naturally, no? Or is this some meme?

You may be in denial, but just so you know, there's a type of OCD that makes you worry about your sexuality constantly. Depending on how much it bothers you, you may have it.
>>
>>18459315
That may explain it, because even the slightest thing of "he looks like an attractive guy" sets it off, even if I didn't feel anything sexual
>>
>>18459315
>type of ocd
Type of compulsive thought, which can mean a bunch of things including ocd.

>>there's a type of OCD that makes you worry about your sexuality constantly.
I've got OCD and I am not familiar with any type of OCD. OCD is an obsessive thought or behavior and that thought or behavior changes from one thing to another over time. Mine is more the tendency than the actual thought or behavior.

I'm similar, OP. Hear me out when I say this:

It's actual homophobia.

Not what the liberals and Social Justice Retards want you to think homophobia is. If you're like me, you don't really have a problem with gay people. I'm pretty indifferent myself. I'm sure I'm not gay, but the idea of someone thinking I am or if I get too close to any of my good male friends, I start to back off because it's a weird phobia and condition of mine.

I think it stems from low self-confidence and/or low masculine identity. I've gotten better by starting to frame how I see masculinity differently.

Now, this is technically a Christian book, but it's not a theology book or some Bible study. It's about how men are intrinsically made, and why we are the ways we are. The author attributes it to God, but you could easily just attribute it to nature, or another God, or what-have-you. It's a great read that got me in touch with my masculinity and since, I still have weird "god I hope they don't think I'm gay" thoughts and feelings but remembering that manliness doesn't depend on anything but the truth of a "battle to fight," an "adventure to live," and a "beauty to rescue." It's a fantastic read.

Again, you might be turned off by the religious undertones, but they are just that - undertones. I recommend it for every man to read.

Sounds like OCD

Seriously. Look it up
>>
>>18458970

You can understand a person is good looking and not want to fuck them. I don't... I don't understand how people stumble over that. You can have a logical appreciation of their beauty, that they would be found desirable by the opposite (or same) sex, but not want to shove your tongue down their throat just because of that reason. Personality, level of intelligence, personal tastes, sexual orientation also play an important role in deciding whether you'd bang someone or not. Or at least they should. If you're so worried you might be gay for having male friends then I think there are deeper issues at work here.

I'm just laughing at the idea that you actually TRIED to get an erection over a guy. I've never tried to become aroused over anything that I wasn't already aroused by.

Think about when you hit puberty and got your first erection for a woman. Did you have to try, or did it just happen whether you wanted it or not?
