I am confused about my sexuality (maybe influenced by porn addiction?)

    Hello everybody,

    here I am writing about some doubts I have regarding my sexuality.
    Actually I am 27, I broke with my girlfriend about 2 months ago, I have a crossdressing fetish and probably a porn addiction, but I am not sure about that, so maybe someone here may have some experience that might help me clear my mind.
    I will try to report my life:
    when I was a child I was a normal child but I remember some cases where I had some thoughts about being a girl: I remember that sometimes I desired to be a girl and analysed pros and cons; sometimes I wore my mother heels; there was a time where I imagined how cool it would be to have polished nails, and once I got home I glued coloured paper to my nails...
    Then here we come to my teen: I remember I always wanted to find true love but always had troubles approaching girls. I liked girls for sure. But I was very introvert, I had very few friends, and was only focusing on studies, thus my social life was not that good: I don't think I were depressed but for sure I was not happy with my life. It was at that time that I discovered pornography, but at that time it was only straight porn. I remember a time where I was alone at home and painted my eyes with my mother's makeup... I began to explore my body and tried to finger my anus in the shower and I did not dislike that... I also remember one night where I woke up terrified about being gay (probably I was 15), but I never had a clue on boys, I have always found girls attractive... (maybe the fact that my father is quite homophobic had some influences on me, e.g. fingering ass -> gay -> guilt)... another thing I remember was that the was a week my parents where in vacation and I was alone at home, and I bought online my first sex toy (a butt plug) which I immediately dumped when my parents were back...
    When I was 19 I went to university, I always focused on studies obtaining great results. I made some new friends, but not that much. My dream that time was to find a girlfriend but I always had those problems approaching one. I never had gay thoughts that time, and neither "crossdressing" behaviours...
    Then at 23 I found my first girlfriend. We were both virgin when we met, but we were in love with each other. Sex was good, it was a continuous discovery but we limited to soft only. Time goes by and we were having soft less regularly... Probably because of that, I began to look at porn more frequently, and started to get interest in transgendered person porn. Then I discovered sissy porn, and seemed to be harmless at that time.
    At 25, I went 6 months abroad for developing my thesis. I always had that girlfriend and we suffered a lot the distance. I never wanted to cheat on her, but I felt necessity to masturbate, thus I watched to sissy porn... I bought some sex toys. In real life I was always attracted by nice looking women, but I never knew one cause I respected my girlfriend. She came visit me once: that was the time we had sex for our first time but we had some difficulties...
    Then I returned home, graduated and started working. Sex with my girlfriend was rare and not satisfying. We loved each other but did not have a satisfying sex life (frequency was probably less that once a month in average). And probably it was because of this I started to lose interest in her. I started again to watch sissy porn, and with the money I was earning from job, I bought my first female clothes. During time I cumulated quite a lot of stuff: wigs, heels, clothes, toys etc... I enjoyed crossdressing when I was alone but I always felt shame and guilt after masturbation.
    We arrive these days: two months ago me and my girlfriend broke, we convinced ourselves we were staying together because of habitude and decided to separate. It was not too bad except the first few days. Then I began fantasising about having new experiences. I began watching at sissy porn more intensively, and I registered to sexual encounters sites. My fantasies developed to the point I would like to try satisfying a man, being the girl... I don't know if this was the first time I had this kind of thoughts...
    Well, I found another crossdresser and we decided to encounter in 2 weeks from today... I was very excited about that, I bought some new clothes also, but it was probably because I was edging and looking at sissy porn from a week or two...
    Today I jerked off with my sex toys, and when finished I felt a huge sense of guilt and asked myself what I am doing, if things are getting to far, that I should quit my encounter with the crossdresser and quit every kind of porn, and purge everything.
    So I decided to write here.
    At the moment, from 3 hours I came, I have new interest in meeting with the xdresser. I feel like it would be just an experience to try. I feel attracted to c*ck but I don't know if this is due to sissy porn or else. I don't know if I am porn addicted: I have looked for tests etc. and I do not result fully addicted: I think I could resist to watching porn without problems, I think mine is just a fetish. I still like girls, I only imagine a romantic relationship with a girl, and in real life I only watch girls. But still I am confused about my sexuality, also considering my teen years where I did not know sissy porn ever existed! I am still considering to meet up with the crossdresser and see how it goes, but I fear I would experience a great sense of shame and guilt experimenting this... maybe I am just bisexual but I have not yet accepted it, and thus the shame/guilt. Or maybe I've been overly manipulated by sissy porn.
    Really I don't know. Thanks for your time reading all this, and thanks in advance for your help.

    You should go with your instinct. I think.

    You felt bad only by fingering yourself. Go ahead, cross your dresses with the other guy and enjoy the feeling after...

    Hi George, I began fingering many years ago... at that time I did not know about sissy porn for sure. It was yesterday that I masturbated with my toys and felt a huge sense of shame and guilt when finished.
    Right now I feel exited with the idea of meeting the other crossdresser but I don’t know of this is because porn altered me, and I fear I will regret this once we will meet...

    Is there a bar where people cross dress you could go to.May be go in comfortable clothes and speak to them. Have you got a close friend you could confide in to go with you as support. The finger in the arse is nothing,your young exploring what you like. I have alot of straight friends and there girlfriends do it to them with finger, sextoys.
     
  6. I think, you didn't receive the best advices here. As same of you, I'm related with your story and introvert behavior. When I experienced finger in arse or cross dressing I felt really unhappy with myself and. Also I noticed that when I made cross dress by hearth starting to beating really quickly, same thing happen when I watch porn after long streak, like a panic attack. I've found some answer in this process. First our porn addiction escalated from straight or soft porn to really hardcore stuff. Second, cross dress is a representation of our lack of masculinity and confidence as men. Third, that I have really big complex with my c*ck size and my skinny body shape. Fourth, that all time of porn exposure had created big pathways in my brain, making difficult to keep long streaks of PMO. Five, that I used to have bad daily routines that induce me to watched porn every day. And Finally, our sexual confused had been created for porn exposure for long time, that mean hocd or worse things. My recommendations is not try to find answers inside of porn or inside of addicted behavior or fetishes, try to seek that answers when you're trying to be clean or doing healthy thing like sports, studying, meditation, social activities, religion, community service, etc. Then you will start to realize who are you? and what do you want for your life?.

    I think your porn addiction is the reason you didn't find a girlfriend until you were 23, I think it's the reason for your subsequent poor sex life, and it's the reason why you're now thinking of dressing up in girls clothes and having sex with another guy. You're pretty far down the rabbit hole, friend. I too had things that happened in my childhood similar to what you talk about, but guess what. Everyone did.

    Try quitting porn and masturbation for 90 days at the very least.
    If you do this without cheating, and you still feel the same, congrats it's probably your sexuality.

    But I am almost certain that you will struggle with great difficulty to not masturbate after the first few days at the most.
    I didn't think I was an addict either, until I tried to quit multiple times.

    Start reading the resources here, start a streak and start a journal.

    If you've been doing this as long as you have, then porn (not just any porn, but hyper-stimulating fetish porn) plus edging will have really, really fucked your brain.

    I'm curious by the way, did you lose all sensitivity in your penis after all that fapping?

    Sorry for the tough love, but the fact it's taken you so long to consider that you MIGHT have a problem is concerning. But good job on coming here.

    I agree with @Camelot87 , do a reboot so you will have a clearer mind to think and decide. I can relate to some of your experiences and feelings, I am married now with kids, but on my 17th day of no PMO, had 1 relapsed. I would still like to say I am confused on my sexually, but I can’t really say I guess until I can clear my mind of what porn has done to my brain. Although I don’t crossed dress, I have some strong HOCD.

    I don't know if porn addiction is the reason I did not find a girlfriend until I were 23 (consider that I had great results during my studies and I've always been in shape, the only thing was that I was really introvert). I am quite sure porn addiction complicated my sex life with my girlfriend, but I am sure I was not addicted to porn the first year I was with her: probably it was when I was abroad and started again looking at porn that troubles began...
    Also, I fear that you're right saying that porn addiction is the "reason why you're now thinking of dressing up in girls clothes and having sex with another guy".
    I admit I have a sort of curiosity to meet with this other crossdresser and I don't know if give it a try, maybe the regret after this will convince me to purge all and stop PMO. Or maybe I should just begin today...
    The fact is that apart porn, I do not have lack of productivity at work, I practice a lot of sport and I am in great physical shape, and for sure this causes more confusion. Fortunately I am not sick, but if this would be the case, I am sure I would recognise immediately I have to begin right now NoFap...

  10. Similar story here man.

    I liked and still like girls. 12-13 yo I found that I am really attracted to girl's butt. My first faps were to girl's butts.

    Crossdressed when 14 to see how my butt looks when wearing leggings. My butt was fat and leggings looked so good. I got so hard.
    I don't like girly things, I just CD because I gethard. After fapping, shame, guilty, aksing myself what I was doing.
    transgendered person porn was the best. Maybe because I imagined myself as a girl fucking other girl, idk.
    Never had gf when a teenager. Also introverted as hell without many friends. I studied hard.
    Every time I was alone and horny, I dressed my mother's leggings and then fap to transgendered person/transwoman. Shame.
    17 yo. I never was attracted to boys, never bought toys, never fingered.
    Unfortunately, I started to have gay toughts. I remember to fantasize about me and one of the girls that were my friends were being fucked my big men.
    I mean, I never fantasized with a particular man, It was about hummiliation and taboo stuff.
    Found sissies and sissy hypno porn when 23. Nothing new because I had already gay thoughts. But for the first time I wanted to buy toys, posting pics of myself on reddit and talk to other sissies. Thankfully never did it.

    Can you see the escalation?
    I tried to convince myself that I like to CD and I am bi. I mean what is the problem of being a bisexual that likes to CD. This could explain why I am an intorverted guy without many friends.
    But if this is true, why do I still feel the shame, regret after fapping?
    I also feel the shame/regret when I do things that are wrong. Like playing video games all day. Eating like a pig.
    Maybe the shame is telling us that something is wrong and we have to stop it.
    You are going to meet a CD. Remember that there is no going back.

    I also have a homophobic father like you. This can influence somehow our fetishes.
    I would tell you to try 90 days without porn. If you still have the thoughts, then maybe you are a bi guy that like to CD. What is the problem?

    Hi SoloMan, thanks for your reply! I was just wondering what you did in the end. Are you still crossdressing and considering yourself bi, or did you nofap and solved everything?

    Hi everybody,
    Today I decided to cancel my date with the other crossdresser and start nofap. It will ne hard, I know, but I owe it to myself: whether I will end it successfully, in case I will still have these urges I will know they are part of me, otherwise it will come out mine was really a porn addiction.

    Yeah, let’s try and overcome this and compare notes at the end of day 30/60/90. I too, want to know what will come out of mine. I am scared though that I won’t like it. But at least I know it’s not my addiction that causes it. On the other hand would it be easy to blame the addiction instead(just thinking).

    Honestly man you sound a lot like I did - having trouble accepting who I was and subsequently using porn to explore it. As someone who’s come to terms with being bisexual my advice to you is to go out there and explore it and try to get out of your head and enjoy it. IMO the problem with porn use is when it becomes an addiction and when it prevents healthy intimacy with others, but I also don’t think it means you need to give up your kink. My wife and I engage in pegging once and a while so I can dress up, fulfil my bisexual side and live that fantasy out - but the most important part is I’m doing that with her as opposed to just jacking off to videos of it and ignoring her. And even though it’s not something that she craves she does it because she knows I need it to feel fulfilled and wants to do that with me.

    Take advantage of being single and figure out who you are. It’ll make it easier when you find someone to be with. And when you do - be honest up front about what you like and need. If they’re right for you they’ll accept it!

    I'm single and age 29. I can understand your feelings because 7 years ago i had also came across those feelings. It's an evil act. Its an act even animal never do. Humans have thinking brain but we are degrading ourself than animals.
    After 2 year in that filthy feelings, one day i had left the city and moved to other city due to my job. then slowly i was understanding that in which hell i was living in. God created me as a men. Men have huge responsibilities on their shoulder. A whole family(siblings, parents, wife, kids....) is depending on a man. common! God wants-- man has to marry women and women to man,and create a best-guided family. But going opposite to god rules and the nature, we are choosing destructive path(it's a devil path).There is a certain rules for sex. Using anus instead of vegina is disgusting as its contains bacterias, fungi....yuck:confused:. Anus purpose is to throw filth from our body. Mouth purpose is to eat. Vagina purpose is for sex and to give birth....etc. are the rules. but Porn destroying all these rules :( and creating variety of diseases. Its really horrible. Thanks to god now i hate those feelings.
    Everyday I'm asking for the forgiveness to god.
    Guys! Please stay aways from the filthy thoughts. Don't turn into gay or bisexual.Don't loose your original character. Don't let porn to Win.

    I read your entire write-up, start to finish. Stay true to your sexual feelings. Even though you only see yourself with a girl, sexual is a big part of the relationship. If you try to adhere to social sexual norms and your not being fulfilled sexually, well then you need to be true to yourself. Talking to a therapist about your guilt and your fathers homophobic tendencies will help you come up with answers. And lastly, put yourself on a reboot. No Porn For You. Use that time to come into your own. By eliminating the porn influence you’ll find you what Sexuality truly means to YOU. Then follow that.
    I’m going through something similar. I quite porn and even just 30 days in I can tell I’m not as gay as I thought. Maybe a little bisexual. That’s it. And hear I was so worried all these years that I was gay. I’m 30 years old and only just finding myself out. TonTon - good luck on your journey. Don’t follow your guilt, follow what feels right. (And give no-porn a try, start small).

    Thanks for your reply! I am trying my best to eliminate porn from my life because I really understood it was something deviating. Probably because of this convincement I do no have any kind of urges for the moment (it is just 4 days...), and I recognize my thoughts were not the true me, or at least this is what I think at the moment. For sure it will take more time to fully understand myself...

    Thanks for your reply. Since I do not believe in god I do not agree with you that homosexuality and bisexuality are evil. The only evil here is porn and I want it out of my life forever.

    It's ok. I can understand. I hope you believe on God soon. Yes, porn is biggest evil. But if we see all things from the God point of view, we can determine the good and evil things easily. It's like a trump card:)
     
  20. Hi. There's a clear progression in the history you noted, so it's worth stopping all of it (PMO plus sex and even fantasies in your head) to see what you feel after having controlled your desires. Take a few months off and see how you feel later, and if then you realise that you really do like dressing up, being bi/gay/whatever, fine.
