Topic: I'm becoming confused about my sexuality. Help.

Posted under Off Topic

First things first, I apologize in advance if I am overreacting.

Now, I consider myself a "typical" straight guy ( who browses a furry image site...) which means I've never been turned on by another guy. Ever.

That is until I found this image.

post #521942

At first, I was kind of angry someone tagged anonymous_gender AND male at the same time ( it's one or the other guys, come on!), but then I noticed this dude is actually kind of arousing.

I'll leave the details out, but in short, I wouldn't mind having sex with him at all. And then I checked out the rest of the pool and read the smut that went along with it. Once again, not bad, would bang.

So now here I am... it's been around 8 hours since I've seen this image and I haven't really figured myself out. Is it normal to be attracted to things that normally you find disgusting? I've tried thinking of other males and nope, nothing.

But this dragon, it doesn't matter whether I imagine him as male or female, it's the same result, I get an erection.

You ever heard the phrase "I'd be gay for so-and-so"? There's a reason some people believe sexuality is more on a spectrum rather than a black-and-white set of labels. It's very common for people to be mostly-one-sexuality but occasionally find exceptions to that. So you may be 98% straight, but just a tiny 1 or 2 percent mixed sexual.

There's nothing wrong with that either. So don't break something trying to find out if your sexuality has suddenly flipped, because in all likelihood it hasn't changed by much, if it all. You might have a slightly broader sexuality than you knew about. (You could be bisexual, after all.) Or you might have just found the small exception to your mostly straightness.

But trying to force an answer right away is likely to only create a false positive. Just be observant and notice what things you like/don't like. After a little while you'll be able to tell if it's just one or two fictional characters (probably just because of the way they were drawn, and not actually just because of their gender. art is just funny like that) or if it's something more than that.

Sexuality is a grab bag, just enjoy what you enjoy.

Just so you know, ambiguous_gender does apply on that image. Since we don't know whether the unseen character is male or female, ambiguous_gender needs to stay.

I thought we had decided that hands only didn't get a gender tag?

Did we? I honestly had no idea.

The only thing that decides your sexuality is you. Liking one gay image doesn't mean you're not straight. The only thing that *does* mean you're not straight is if you have a continuous, wilful interest in anything that's not female.
I get it can be a bit of a shock when you think that maybe you're not who you think you were, but try not to worry about it. You are who you are. You're not defined by what gives you a boner.

If you enjoyed it enough to actually make you want to experiment with another guy, then I say go for it. The worst that can happen is it's not as great as you thought it would be.

Be like me and just enjoy everything as it comes! Male, female, trans, you name it. I'm willing to check out a good bod' in any flavor.

That's the quality porn effect. It got you going even though you're not for that. Give it the up vote.

Don´t worry, it´s natural to find other guys attractive to a point. And my opinion is: When it´s furry everything is ok.

It´s probaly more based on the fact that it´s anthropomorphic then on the fact that it´s gay. Having sexual thoughts about favourite, cute or well drawn male characters doesn´t mean somebody is homosexual.

And being 100% straight is biological impossible ;-)

Even some animals are bi, it's part of the animal kingdom.

This is just the way life is, when you live in it, you gotta love it and live it to the fullest!

Psychologically speaking...

No one is 100% anything. I'm a straight, white male, and society says I should only be interested in Playboy, but I've seen my share of gay, tranny, furry, and straight porn. I, personally, don't mind watching gay porn, and I can even imagine myself in those situations, but I found myself unable to actually cross the line into doing it myself.

For me, this is what makes me convinced that I am straight. Just because I enjoy watching it doesn't mean I actually enjoy it in real life.

In short, you should experiment with your sexuality as a general rule, and don't worry about how society may look at you for it. Denying who you are is one of the greatest tragedies of today's generation. Look around, find out who you are, and be happy with that person. However, if you do experiment, be smart about it. Protection, consent, trust, all that jazz.

Glad to know I'm not the only one

No thanks, I'm too much of a close-minded bigot to enjoy things like that. :(

Anyway I want to thank you all again. I can finally wank in peace

Well, I don't think liking something like that makes you instantly gay or something, doesn't work like that lol, but like many people said, it's not bad being straight and like it.

I prefer being bi, I have no strong feelings one way or the other
Of course I have standars lol, I like femenine woman AND manly muscled (or at least athletic) men.
Plus you can end awkward sexuality conversations/debates with the phrase "I'd bang us all"

I consider myself straight, but that doesn't mean that there isn't gay in my favorites.
Mainly feminine dudes and what not though.
That being said, I'd totally go gay for Neil Patrick Harris, that man's a god, but other than that, I just like vagina, really.

Well begining with the fact that you are not completely gay if you get attracted by that SUPER CUTE dragon, you are maybe a bi furry who like to look more of things that meets the cock

Updated by anonymous

I know we usually like to tag every post, but I don't think it is a good idea to bring it to real life. Its just like saying:

"If being attracted to an image of a male dragon is not gay then it's fine, if it's a little gay is still ok, if it's totally gay you should freak out."

It just doesn't make sense to me. Besides those attractions that will get you to jail, trying to tag people's sexuality is just nonsense to me. It's just like tagging people according to their race or religion.

If a male that liked man all his life suddenly loved a women, so what?
If a male that liked women all his life suddenly loved a men, so what?

Another thing, is not the person that supposedly mistagged that is to blame but yourself. It's like blaming a person to be your friend because you suddenly felt attracted to him. The attraction was already there.

This is the take home message:
1) Don't tag your sexuality unless it could get you to jail
2) If you love something is your own fault
3) If you are afraid of social judgment, forget it. You already have half of society on your tail for wanking to images of furries.
