• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi, I am a 20 year old female. I have watched porn on and off since about age 12. I do not watch it regularly and I would definitely not say I am addicted by any means.
When I watched porn, I would also watch lesbian porn. I never wanted to practise this in my daily life or even thought anything of it. Last night, I watched it and then I had a fleeting thought "Does this mean I am gay?". Ever since then I have been panicking and worrying and stressing about this.

I have always mainly been attracted to males, sexually and romantically. I have had boyfriends in the past of 2 years, 1 years etc. I have never saw women that way or wanted to be with a woman. I have always dreamed of marrying a man and having a family. I even went to an all girls school from 16-18 and that sparked nothing.
However, ever since I have been panicking, I have looked into my past and found about 1 occasions where I have was curious about a female...but I have never wanted to act on it or be in a relationship with them. Perhaps it was the pornography that sparked all of that curiosity.
I am now freaking out and wondering about all of this. Ever since last night, the devil has been putting this panic inside me and added even more impure and perverse thoughts.
I have made a decision to stop watching porn, start going to church and recommit myself to jesus. But I am upset about having these thoughts and whether they make me gay. Please please help me I do not want this to take over my life and I feel that my brain is convincing me that I am gay. Please help, this all started last night and I want it to stop now.

It doesn't sound like you're gay to me, just sounds like you are anxious. Some people are bisexual, but being curious doesn't mean you're bisexual. Most people are curious about all kinds of things through their lives. If you have no urge to have sex with women, be in a long term relationship with a woman or anything like that then you're not gay

Those who seek delusion will receive greater delusion. that what I think about your past references.
If you are not attracted to women. Forget about it. Your not Gay.
If watching lesbian porn makes you feel uncomfortable, which now I am sure it will. You should stop watching it all together. Now that you feel weak satan will attack you with more powerful forces.
Do not worry about your current affair.

I'd love to talk to you if you feel more and more concerned. But fear not.

Those who seek delusion will receive greater delusion, this is what I think about you looking back on your life.
I don't suggest church, if you continue watching porn. Satan eagerly attacks those who turn from what they are doing to distract themselves.
If your not attracted to women sexually, your not gay, and don't worry about it.

:)

I would love to talk with you if you continue to feel confused.
