Turned on by looking at myself

    I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this as it may come across as kind of gay. Anyone else here turned on by looking at themselves? I don't make a habit of purposely doing this. It happens after taking a shower, changing, or taking a piss. I'll stare at my body in the mirror or look down at my pecker and get turned on by it. I also have a habit of pulling it out and looking at it whenever I get a woody. Part of the reason why I look at my naked body in the mirror is because I'm proud of the progress I've made in the gym. This habit is definitely a stumbling block for me. Any advice?

    I'd like to add that I'm not gay. Straight up 100% heterosexual. I've never looked at male porn and have zero interest in it.

    Does it lead to fantasy?

    It did before prior to me joining nofap. Now not so much as I try to block those thoughts from my mind. I'm trying hard not to stare at my pecker, but sometimes it can't be avoided.
     
  4. Attracted to yourself that's gotta be a rare one
     
  5. I used to do this. For me it was related to insecurity. Being proud of your body including your bits is fine. Does it matter if it sounds "gay"? Just celebrate your manhood. However, if it becomes an obsession then that is not healthy

    I have this exact same problem. I catch myself naked in the mirror, point at myself, and wink and nod in an approving manner.

    It's not that I'm vain or think I'm so good looking or anything like that. I think its because I have it ingrained in my mind that my manhood represents exctasy and pleasure that I like to look at it whenever I can and get off by doing that.
     
  8. You are right. The penis is the source of intense, incomparable pleasure for a man. So it should be treated with respect and used primarily to transfer that pleasure to a woman (or man if gay) Dogs are not designed to chase their own tails but to chase cats...if you get my meaning

    As an off topic.

    Sociopaths or maybe psychopaths are aroused by pictures of themselves as children.

    This is somewhat similar, but when I see the reflection of my face in the shower, I smile.
     
  11. I've never heard of this, honestly. For me, I just admire my face and think to myself: "What a handsome bastard."

    So you're essentially saying that you're turned on by yourself.

    Well... I mean, it's hard to say if this is necessarily a problem. Since you say you're 100% straight, I assume you're not turned on by other guys.

    The habit of looking at your pecker whenever you have an erection is not a problem to me at all. I do the same thing. Of course, it's completely vanity for me.

    Sorry man, I have no idea what to tell you. But you have to admit, your problem is something I don't think many people have heard of.

    I have the opposite issue lol. I'm not attracted to myself at all and it makes sex a bit harder to get into. I'll switch with ya. I'm somewhat build and average looking. I just don't do it for myself lol.
