Is it possible that anime and persistent sexual exploration slowly turned me gay?
Like is it possible that I wasn't born gay and my parts of my brain that deal with sexual attraction don't respond to men but I've given myself have an intellectual fetish for men?
>>5732861
So you're asking if anime has made you incapable of being attracted to women and capable of being attracted to men?
>Is it possible that anime ..... turned me gay?
It's not only possible but probable. Anime is gay as fuck. My cousin loves anime and he's turning into a right little faggot.
>>5732871
Yes
>>5732891
Probably not, then, although it may well have prompted your active sexual exploration.
>>5732904
I think it did. My sexual preferences have changed so much.
>>5732923
Why? What in anime makes exploring attraction to women uninteresting, in the way that it doesn't make exploring attraction to men uninteresting?
>>5733020
I think it was mostly the realization that I was watching so much anime I would never be able to sleep with a woman.
Yes pursuing a sexual preference and neglecting others will lead to the former developing and the latter atrophying
OP is gay
How does this not turn you on?
>>5733366
there would have been a point in my life where it would but right now it doesn't.
>>5733379
There is a time in some gays' lives where they think they're straight simply because it never really occurred to them that they could be anything else. Think back to when you were "attracted to females." What did you jack it to? The period when I was like this was middle school, so I didn't know much about internet porn, my masturbatory aids were all imaginary. This may not be the case for you, but sometimes common themes occur that can help with diagnosis. I would always, and I mean always, imagine taking a girl doggystyle, with a sort of shadowed lack of attention to the erogenous zones, meaning the breasts and the entirety of the penetration. Once I did discover porn, I would find a section of skin which caught the light in an arousing way, or had an arousing color, not necessarily focusing on the erogenous zones once more. Were your experiences similar, because that could be indicative of a case of ignorance-and-expectation-fueled sexual confusion
>>5733939
Strange I could never imagine myself being with a women. It was always the image of a women or one of my strange mental fetishes.
>>5733953
Or of course some other guy fucking a women
>>5733953
The form of the masturbatory aid isn't what counts, it's the content. One could always identify with a faceless component of their fantasies, but it didn't have to be them, it was my distinct experience. But you think your experience doesn't quite fit the idea of ignorant sexuality?
>>5733953
And, more to the point, the fact that you couldn't see yourself engaging in heterosexual acts, to me, implies that you were masturbating less to distinctly feminine eroticism, but a set of androgynous erotic qualities which exist (whose form changes from person to person) in both women and men, which would always appeal to you outside of the masculine eroticism that appeals to you as well. People will always find SOMETHING to take away as a small victory from each situation, and masturbation is no different
because its the only alternative media exploring such issues

OP here
I guess I don't know. I just saw a bunch of those traps and then I got into trap hentai then I got into more masculine traps and then now I'm looking at regular masculine dudes. Over time my interest in women has waned and my interest in men has grown. For a long time I've jerked it to women and still do to some 2D and I'm still like "yeah she's hot" but I don't get that physical reaction. And I never got that physical reaction with men before (besides that one time with a friend) and now I'm getting it. Whenever I watch gay porn I'm almost always disgusted and it makes me want to vomit (unless it's amateur and one of the dudes isn't too masc). Maybe I think I'm gay so I'm just forcing myself to be attracted to men because it would be too confusing otherwise. I just can't get a handle on what my genuine feelings are.
I've never found the idea of vaginas anything but gross and I didn't really ever have a desire to sleep with a women. Most sexual fantasies revolved around being made fun of and humiliated by women.

You're a cuck that wants to be cucked by other cucks. The Cuckening.
>>5734410
How am I a cuck?
>>5734416
How are you not?
>>5734430
Well I don't want to be in a relationship with women so it's kind of hard to get cucked. I also want to fuck hot dudes.
>>5734327
I had a similar "transition" of tastes.
Went from girls to traps to imagining I'm the trap to getting fucked by guys.
I also finally got to know women my age and realized how awful they are. I could never do "just" imagery. I would imagine the rest of the scenario, the personality of the characters, etc. Having a life filled with hateful and/or ugly bitches kind of turned me off on them.
The most prominent part of my sexuality right now is the submissive gay side as a result.
For the right person I could really go either way.
Yes, I think anime has messed with my sexuality. But I think it was more malleable in the first place. Otherwise it wouldn't have worked so well and I would have probably rejected the process.

>to imagining I'm the trap to getting fucked by guys
Me too but I can't can't do that because I'm a gigantic dude. The only thing I can do is take out my anger on submissive, cute guys for not being one of them.
>>5734475
I'm 5'11" but I'm just a horny beta faggot. It reached the point where I don't need to be the little girl anymore; I just want to be the submissive partner.
>>5734486
You probably don't look masc like me.
>>5734497
Yeah, I don't really.
Puberty took me from boyish to kind of goofy looking. I never was good at keeping muscle on me.
Anime made me a dyke with so many cute grills being gay with each other so it probably made you gay too.
>>5732861
>persistent sexual exploration
Son, there was always plenty of fetish space to explore within the heterosexual pornosphere. Straight guys will occasionally stumble across some gay shit during their porn-surfing, but the usual reaction among them is to say "EWWW GROSS" and close the tab.
If you stumbled across it and decided to keep exploring, then you were latently homosexual (or bisexual) all along.
t. straight lurker with lotsa LGBT friends offline
>anime
wtf does this have to do with it even? Go to /a/ and count the waifu threads. Do you seriously think lesbo girls are posting most of those?
also YOUR SPOUSU A SHIT
>>5733366
>liking veiny saggy tits
I feel like that's happened to me. I would never have gay thoughts if it weren't for porn, which creates unrealistic representations of homosexual activity, like hardblush, which makes a bunch of gay animals having sex look hot.
>>5732861
Dunno if it's possible... I'd love to know.
I experienced something similar to that of others ITT; first I'd jack it to women and then I found trap-porn which became my dominant attraction. Soon enough I wanted to be the trap and then I bought a dildo and panties.
No gender-dysphoria, though, so I'll most likely never take up HRT.
