    Just curious here. During the escalation phase of my addiction, I looked into some things I would never want to do IRL. But I was just wondering if the porn altered my sexuality in any way. I’ve been straight my whole life and have only been with women and I don’t see myself being with anyone but women sexually.
     
  2. Think of it like a drug, you go from say weed, then maybe you want more so you move to cocaine or Es, then if you want more maybe you'll try opium and so on. Porn addiction works in a similar way, you start of with vanilla stuff, then maybe you work your way to different kinks, feet and such and then maybe its not giving you enough still and that bisexual video catches your attention, and then you see a related video to gay porn and then trans and so on again. Its not about your sexsuality, I had the same problem, I worked my way to gay porn, but in reality I know I'm not gay, I even went and experimented with someone and found it wasn't for me for sure. I always ask myself this question if I ever get flashbacks of gay or bi porn. When I'm walking down the street minding my own business unaware of my wandering mind, where do my eyes gravitate to and what catches my attention, women or men? That's how you get your answer, gay or bi porn only comes into my head whilst having an urge leading my mind to escalate to thinking that I may be in the panic, but then when I take a moment and ask myself that question, it's obvious to me.
    If you feel like you are 100 percent straight then you are, porn has just twisted your brain, giving you kinks and turn ons that aren't truly yours. There's nothing wrong with being bi or gay though, so if you do come to that decision then don't worry, it would just be who you are.

    Thanks. That’s a really good rule of thumb to have. It wasn’t until the height of my addiction that I started watching fetish and things outside of hereto. Even in the past year, I’ve only been attracted to women (romantically and sexually). But the escalation really had me messed up and questioning myself. Only 7 days into my reboot, so I’m still holding out and cleaning the porn from my mind.
     
  4. Glad I could help, just don't get lost in your head, there'll be days when you do but if you power on you'll get through that day and be stronger for it!
