It could very well be that. And not to give you reassurance but the brain can react to anything that you find attractive or noteworthy or anything that stands out. It doesn’t care whether you’re sexually attracted to something or not , it sends signals regardless so that has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Arousal and orientation are two different things and people who always equate them ( obviously there are many many times where they go together fine , which is usually the case ) are ignorant. But try to accept that you don’t truly know if it means anything and try to be okay with the fact that you’ll never know for sure.
Interesting differentiating between arousal and orientation...never realized that. Thanks for comment. I have no clue really
Yes ^^^ Also, myself, like many other girls are majorly turned on by lesbian porn. It doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian, I’d never be with a girl in a romantic way and I know I’m straight and will always like guys. anything that even hints at being sexual can also be arousing, especially for guys. Someone tweeted ages ago that whenever his girlfriend ties her back he gets turned on because she always does that before she goes down on him ? our minds are weird
Haha yes. We are animals, so by instinct we are focussed on trying to mate - males can only mate when they are aroused, so are easilyyyyyy aroused. It’s nature haha
Yeah many people are unaware of it , it’s called arousal non concordance.
Yeah exactly !! Just goes to show the power your brain has over you even when your mind completely disagrees with it ??
I’m a teenager and so at the moment, the people I’m attracted to are also teens. But I worry that as I grow up and become an adult, I’ll remain attracted to teenagers (and not necessarily 18 year old teens). I’m petrified of growing up now!
I was at the gym today. There’s a gay trainer at the gym. My mind can’t stop imagining me and him in a relationship!! I can’t stop the imagines pops into my head! They’re soo intrusive they make me feel so sad! I don’t want this thoughts!!!! This is not me is not what i fucking want!!! Anyone can relate?
i’m scared again that i’m attracted to my own body. when i watch porn, i tend to watch things with quite sexualised women (tmi maybe) and i guess i *sort of* have similar bodies to them in terms of boobs and stuff. i don’t mean that in a vain way... i don’t even like my body. but just factually, i have big boobs. and big boobs turn me on. so does my own body turn me on?? as much as i question my sexuality obsessively, enough research and reassurance has taught me that being turned on by big boobs doesn’t necessarily make me bi or gay. big boobs are a sexual stimuli! so the fear of being turned on by my own body comes down to the fear of being a narcissist / egomaniac. like it’d be so self-absorbed to be turned on by my own body. but i keep trying to rationalise it and remind myself that if i have the body parts that are considered sexual, then i am a sort of sexual stimuli. for myself even? argh i’m not even sure how to explain it but yeah. i’ve never like looked in the mirror and gotten turned on or thought of myself like that. it’s just i could imagine it i guess. but maybe not.
