Is it normal that i watch gay porn and get erection?

I'm straight, but sometimes I enjoy watching gay porn. I get erection easly while doing it, but I also want to stop it, cuz I think it will ruin my life. I'm 15 years old, what can I do? is it normal? will it make me gay? PS: in live, I don't get erection on boys, it's only while watching gay porn.

    Too early to tell if you're gay. Being aroused by gay porn or thoughts doesn't mean you are. If you're not aroused at all by girls, that's a sign.

    Don't worry, it won't "turn you gay". Mos girls watch lesbian porn too, it's just a pretty natural thing to like I guess.

    I am a human sexuality educator.

    Questions like these are what made me interested in pursuing my career. I am a gay man myself, but this question is more common than you might think. Especially from people under 18 years old.

    There has always been some real debate about this... on the one hand, many people will say if you enjoy gay porn, you must be gay. But as an educator, I know that's not always true.

    Have you ever heard the expression, "porn is porn". This is simply to say, porn is not reality. It is all fantasy. Yes, people in the videos we watch may be quite sexually aroused, but the point of these videos are to "sell" sex. Not to just "have" sex on camera. Porn is all a fantasy. And many people watch all kinds of porn that are non-human. Anime, furries, animations, etc. There is so much arousal from fantasy, but in order to under sexuality we must understand the lines between arousal, comfort, and attraction.

    There are 7 billion people in this world. I am a gay man myself, but does that mean that I will NEVER be attracted to a single woman ever? Out of 7 BILLION people? I mean, those odds would be astronomical wouldn't they? To say that I am just UNABLE to be attracted to any of the 3.5 billion women on Earth? ... of course there are women that I'm attracted to. The same way that many straight people have attractions towards people of the same sex. The issue is, we will never in our lifetimes meet 7 billion people. We only meet a few thousand. Even if we met 1 million people in our lifetime, that's not even a DENT in the world population. So what proof do we have to say that ANYONE is ONLY attracted to one sex or gender. We don't have any justification. That's why the labels of sexual orientation are confusing. Because when you label something, you restrict it as well. When the truth is, no matter how we are born or raised, sexuality is a person-by-person experience, and it changes throughout our entire lifetime. The sexuality you have now, and the sexuality you will have when you are 40 will be very very different.

    The label of sexual orientation is really no more than a guideline.

    There's 5 types of attractions. (RARES) Romantic, Affectional, Relational, Emotional, and Sexual. We tend to base our guideline of sexuality depending on how often these attractions are triggered by different sexes and genders. So if I'm more often to have 4 of the 5 attractions to more women, and only 1 or 2 attractions to men, we'd probably say I was a straight male. But again, that doesn't mean that I don't have attractions towards both sexes. And the thing is, some attractions develop from other attractions. For example, if I'm sexually attracted to someone, I don't know them emotionally from first glance. But then maybe I get to know them better, and do become attracted emotional. I should also mention that when I say "attraction" people tend to think this is automatically sexual. If you have a best friend you want to spend the rest of your life with, you have a relational attraction to them. If you have a guy friend or a gal pal that you love to hug, squeeze, or cuddle with, you have an affectional attraction. Again, these aren't sexual. Arousal and comfort are two different things.

    We live in a society that judges us mainly on our sexual BEHAVIOR. We're quick to say, "If you're a man, and you have sex with a woman, you're obviously straight." But... what if while having sex with a woman, that man is thinking of another man? What does that make him then? ... It makes him whatever he chooses to identify as. Because sexuality is so complex, so complicated... to try and label would be asinine.

    My point is: Identify with whatever makes you most comfortable. Or don't identify yourself at all. I have more and more friends identifying as "queer" which basically means that your sexuality is not part of the hetero-normative. Even people that pursue heterosexual relationships use it, because they understand that there's 7 billion people out there... it could be many many different people that make us feel special. And they can be of any gender, sex, expression, orientation... of any sexuality.

    I'm sorry I wrote you a novel, but I hope you read what I wrote in hopes that it helps you understand sexuality a little bit more.

    It's not too early to tell if you're gay, some people just KNOW from a very young age (around the time straight people KNOW they are straight).

    Watching gay porn cant MAKE you gay, nothing can TURN you gay, you either are gay or you aren't, or your somewhere in between.

    It is possible you're curious, and it's also possible you're a straight guy that enjoys gay porn. Porn preferences rarely have much to do with real-life preferences

    It wont MAKE you gay, if you enjoy gay porn, you already ARE gay. Or possibly just bisexual.

      Which is perfectly normal, of course.
