    It sounds weird but on instagram I follow a lot of meme pages and somehow a gay porn account came, I looked slightly and I got an erection(blocked it immediately after)

    For context, I am straight, I only like women

    Don't think too much of it. You know what you like.

    It's porn, it's an escalation of your viewing. Like any drugs or addictive substances, naturally over time escalation happens and porn is definitely no different. I watched porn for years, gradually I went to different fetishes and ended up watching bi and then gay porn. Now although I had experiences in youth that cause this, it's not uncommon for anyone with a problem watching porn to do as you did.
    If I get these thoughts in my head like you are now I ask myself this, when I am walking down the street, do I look at men in a sexual way ever? Have I ever? I think you will find that that answer is no, just like it was for me. You will most likely go back to it, the curiosity is there now, but it doesn't mean you are gay. Heavy use of porn and porn addiction is dangerous, it's not your fault, we have been mislead by everyone to say "porn is good for you" whe in reality it's not for people like ourselves on this forum. We have used it and abuised it, we have shaped our brains to over sentisization, now we can only begin to heal by taking life one day at a time and understanding that if we do not, we will fall into insanity.

    I hope this helps, just don't worry for worrying will only cause you to seek it out, out of pure curiosity. Accept that it happend and move forward with sobriety.

    Guys, I’m older and I continue to see disrespect pecked out on the screen. The way I see it is the original poster is brave enough to create a post and broach the subject that is concerning him. You clicked on the posting because I’m assuming it related to you in some way and then choose to post a reply that could possibly make him feel bad. This forum is about help, recovery and respect. I bet your buddies don’t know about your issues.
     
  6. No worries, dude. You know who you are. Don't read too much into this. And when we have PMO addiction problems, anything sexual has the potential to get us going. If I'm not careful, the shape of a Coke bottle can get me going.:emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
     
  7. Not a big thing. It's natural for our brain to react to nudes.

    Those who pursue this will be complete anti-biology fool.

    You didn't fap to it, so stop worrying. Some awful things are interesting in a trainwreck or freeway accident sort of way, and you "rubbernecked" for a moment.

    If you're within 30 days of nofap, your brain is pretty much using the old circuit that you have. The more straight and good ol' porn shuts your dopamine receptor down, then only more dopamine can trigger your receptor to have the same amount of "high", pretty confident to say that what gives you an erection is purely the shock value, since it produces more dopamine to your already numb receptor.
