    Hi all,

    I been addicted to pornography since young, and have been masturbating to it daily. I am consider an addict, cause I do it 3 times a day or whenever I am bored.

    I know my triggered point is boredom and also bad days, where I want to blow some steam off (if you know what I mean).

    I use to be attracted to girls and flustered over them. But few years back, I was so addicted to gay pornography, that I just keep feeding on the materials. On romantic side, I dont want to be with a guy, but those materials having a male loving me physically and fully has been my secret craving. I was convinced I am gay and started fantasizing, acting out those scene. My favorite is those hardcore where "one get punished."

    I guess coming from a bad childhood where I am traumatized and lack of father figure kind of triggered this secret desire for one in a bad way.

    lately I start to cut it, and my mind become more cleaner - I don't view my male friends in a sexual way. I do want to have a heterosexual relationship and saw that on this forum, some of the people are affected in their orientation by what they watch.

    Does it affect your sexuality?
     
  2. Yes it is called HOCD (Homosexual Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and if you get it (due to dirty websites) you think you're gay when in reality you're not. So do yourself a favor, stop watching.

  3. This is very true. The more you watch the 'regular stuff' gets boring that you start watching material you never would have at all. Your sexuality will alter itself. Some people will watch trans, gay porn, bondage, etc. to keep up the high. That will definitely affect your sexuality.

    I fell deeply Into wierd stuff, I wont say exactly how far but it was DEEP. I found a girlfriend after a long period of only porn, bout 10 years, and I'm happy to report that my brain has kept the porn stuff and real life separate as I'm definitely straight when it comes to physical stuff. The porn feels good because it's wrong and naughty, if you were gay you'd be looking at straight porn to get that feeling.

    Yes so basically you get a dopamine rush when you find something new and exciting and taboo. Cus your brain sees gay as wrong it's exciting to you. Nothing wrong with being gay but if you're straight then your brain sees it as a deviation

    And if you look at gay porn and fap, you constantly reward your brain with dopamine and your brain associates those fantasies with feeling good. It's a cycle and it's only when you break that cycle and step away from porn that you can know of you're actually gay/bi or not

    I bet there's way more sexual experimenting since porn became so available to everyone

    Me myself I had sex with a guy BC of this mess. A major regret for me

    From what I have read this happens, but it is rare. I don't think it is as simplistic as you suggest. Most gay men find the vagina, ass and breasts of women a complete turn off. o_O Their escalation does not lead them to straight porn as a rule.

    One of the main problems of pornography is the pressure it leads to, in response to the serious problems it causes in sexual behavior. this is not only needed more and more, but it takes "different" to maintain dopamine in the brain. a person could, for example, move from heterosexual pornography to lesbianism and homosexuality, and then to bestiality, to the worst of all child pornography. sadly, this is followed by other effects: desensitization (over time behaviors begin to look acceptable) and acting (it tends to mimic the behaviors learned). (I'd be very grateful if you read my story on my profile)
     
  8. Don't mind me asking but does stopping pmo solve this issue and you get your normal straight sexuality back ? And if yes then after how long of stopping ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes it does. You get addicted to it, you get addicted to visual pleasure, you get the addiction of "PERFECTION" from porn, when u see a real naked woman infront of you, she's nothing to you compared with perfection from porn. If you want to masturbate, masturbate on woman that u met in life, in ur head, not on those from monitor.

  11. Yes it does. How long? It depends on your background. I see people who went to gay related videos for new excitement and took two weeks to get rid of it. And I see people who had heavy addiction for gay related videos and behaviours and they took a complete reebot and even over.
     
  12. Thanks for your response.
    I guess we'll just have to stop pmo then wait and see what happens.

    Thanks for coming clean about escalation into gay P. I believe you are suffering from HOCD, like I did for months (possibly years). You must decide whether you are gay or not, but I do believe you aren’t attracted to the same sex. Porn is a gateway into escalating behaviour, hence why heavy users get into gay, trans, BDSM or even other taboo and novel stuff.

    I escalated into trans then gay, that’s when I realised I had a problem and I know for a fact I’m not gay, I found the material super triggering on my dopamine. Months forward and cutting out all that material, I have no interest in viewing anything remotely homosexual or trans/crossdressing related. It takes time to heal, but I’d recommend cutting out ALL p if you want to see proper results. Remember, this fetishes do not define you. You have to continue fighting and not giving into the temptations. I suggest going for a full “hard mode” reboot. That means cutting out straight P, but I have found that even cutting out just trans/gay P helped me overcome the OCD intrusive thoughts.

  14. It can. Or it can make you realize the sexuality you already had.

    I hit back to day one today. My big weakness was the lingerie catalogs. Threw away the baby oil last night and am greatful I haven't had all these symptoms that some are struggling with. Never drew to going gay as it's counter productive to the successful progression of the human race so it's wrong. I get the same message from the Orthodox ☦️ church too however I don't hate people for being gay just the horrible acts they perform. I figure the best thing to do is to try and live a clean life. When people see it and see it as possible then they start living more harmoniously too. Show people of all sexual orientation the standard of decency and fairness and hope it clicks inside them. The best way to get people off the booze,smoking,porn,and all the odd gender preferences is to rid people of the porn and alcohol and drugs. Once people get their eyes open and see clearly they can slowly and effectively make positive decisions and responses. Most of these horrible sins committed is because of one of the things mentioned above. Had they not been drunk,stoned,etc then the would have had the moral compass and clarity to not set themselves up for failure. I haven't given up on my fellow citizens or even mankind but for as much good that we try to do we surely seem determined to throw it down the shitter just as quickly. We need to tighten up and walk the line. I seem to feel better when I live better and I hope others feel the same. Have a great week everyone of every colour,creed,etc and try to help someone who might be struggling with some of the issues on this forum board. When we help one we help ourselves too. Safe journey to all and with that I yield. Goodnight!!
