I remember back when I was 13 I had an HOCD phase and now I think itā€™s coming back.

Iā€™ve only ever been attracted to men romantically IRL. Thereā€™s some women I find really pretty. But I never thought of them romantically.

I used to watch a lot of lesbian porn and I think thatā€™s the main thing that confused me. Because I thought the acts like scissoring looked like it felt good. and when I was going through puberty I wanted to try. Now I donā€™t really care if I do or not. Itā€™s not something I really desire. That was the only thing I was curious about with women really.

But how is sexual attraction defined? Arousal? Desire? I remember seeing a girl once I thought she had a nice butt and I did get a little aroused. I think I was about 16. And never happened again.

I think I only experience sexual attraction with men when I have a connection with them. There are some rare occasions where I do experience it with random men. When I say that I mean I get attracted to them by their looks alone. Want to be around them, think about them all day, etc.

When I was with my ex, I was always in the mood. And would get excited from almost anything. We were together for 3 years. I did have a bit anxiety in the beginning since it was my first relationship. But after that, it was pretty great. It did get a little toxic towards the end and I was devastated but I moved on.

I have a crush on a man and we flirted a bit. I would gladly suck him off. And often fantasize doing things with him. I often fantasize about us cuddling too and having a family.

The thing with men though is I sometimes get anxious when theyā€™re romantically invested in me and they show affection. Not sure if itā€™s related to my dad being a robot when it comes to emotions. But I tend to want to avoid them even though I like them and want to date them.

With women, I thought about it a few times and living with a woman seems fun. I donā€™t think I would cuddle or sleep in the same bed though. Not interested in kissing either. So I guess I see it as more in a platonic way.

But it seems every month around ovulation, I seem to focus more on the scissoring acts and masturbate to those. But even during this time I donā€™t necessarily desire to do it. Basically I would fuck anything but not necessarily attracted to the person. Any other time Iā€™m still focused on men and only men.

I keep getting obsessive thoughts now that Iā€™m bisexual or gay. And that I donā€™t really like men. And I kept getting thoughts last night of being with a woman and I thought it just felt odd. My family and friends would be accepting as many of them are LGBT themselves so itā€™s not like Iā€™m necessarily experiencing internalized homophobia.

Saying Iā€™m bi feels more freeing and ā€œcoolā€ but at the same time it doesnā€™t feel right. But saying Iā€™m straight doesnā€™t either.

I really think porn is messing with me. I should probably stop watching it and then decide.
